Summary

The General Land Office issued this patent to LUCY CHIPPEWAY on 12 October 1908, out of the Marquette land office. The land is T35N R13W Section 31 E½SE — 35N13W31SE on the Michigan Meridian (19) once the description is normalised. Its authority is Indian Trust Patent, and the row cites June 15, 1880 (21 Stat. 199). Accession 21083 has this one location row, and the source reports 80.0000 acres for it. The detail record names the tribe OTTAWA, allotment number 41.

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 1908, 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.

Open questions

  • Does the county deed index record a conveyance out of this patent?
  • Does any held record identify LUCY CHIPPEWAY beyond this spelling?
  • Does the allotment or trust file behind this entry survive?
