Summary
The General Land Office issued this patent to FRED ANCE on 12 August 1927, out of the Marquette land office. The land is T34N R13W Section 4 NENW — 34N13W4NWNE on the Michigan Meridian (19) once the description is normalised. Its authority is Indian Fee Patent, and the row cites October 14, 1865 (14 Stat. 703). Accession 1006238 has this one location row, and the source reports 40.0000 acres for it. A United States reservation is recorded against it. The detail record names the tribe OTTAWA.
Ownership evidence and limits
A patent records the moment the United States parted with the land, and stops there. Whatever happened afterwards sits in the county deed index rather than here. The grantee is the spelling a clerk wrote in 1927, and it stays a spelling until a separate identity record carries the link to a person or an organisation. A shared surname is not that record.
