Summary
The General Land Office issued this patent to STATE OF MICHIGAN on 28 November 1962, out of the Washington Ofc. The land is T39N R8W Section 6 LOT 1 — 39N8W6 on the Michigan Meridian (19) once the description is normalised. Its authority is Exchange-State Taylor Act, and the row cites June 28, 1934 (48 Stat. 1269). Accession 1229725 covers 35 location rows. They share the 1262.0200 acres the source reports. It is flagged for a subsurface reservation. Its description carries the source note ALL 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 1962, 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: 1262.0200 acres is the whole patent, spread across 35 location rows.

Open questions
- Does the county deed index record a conveyance out of this patent?
- Can a tract book or a field note place this description inside a quarter-quarter rather than the whole section?
