Summary

The General Land Office issued this patent to JOHN BASHIEWIETONG; STATE OF MICHIGAN on 11 March 1954, out of the Marquette land office. The land is T39N R9W Section 12 LOT 1 — 39N9W12 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 1143346 covers three location rows. They share the 148.9000 acres the source reports. The detail record gives allotment number 46.

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 1954, 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: 148.9000 acres is the whole patent, spread across three 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?
  • Does the allotment or trust file behind this entry survive?
