Summary
The General Land Office issued this patent to DAVID E WILSON; KATHRYN G WILSON on 6 October 1950, out of the Washington Ofc. The land is T38N R11W Section 36 LOT 1 — 38N11W36 on the Michigan Meridian (19) once the description is normalised. Its authority is Sale-Cash Entry, and the row cites April 24, 1820 (3 Stat. 566). Accession 1130115 covers four location rows. They share the 193.1000 acres the source reports. It is flagged for a subsurface reservation. Its description carries the source note ALL URANIUM THORIUM OR OTHER MINERALS RESERVED TO US.
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 1950, 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.
Do not carry the acreage onto this description either: 193.1000 acres is the whole patent, spread across four location rows.

Open questions
- Does the county deed index record a conveyance out of this patent?
- Does any held record identify the grantees named on this row beyond these spellings?
- Can a tract book or a field note place this description inside a quarter-quarter rather than the whole section?
