Summary
The General Land Office issued this patent to PATRICK MALLOY on 1 November 1911, out of the Marquette land office. The land is T37N R10W Section 21 LOT 1 — 37N10W21 on the Michigan Meridian (19) once the description is normalised. Its authority is Homestead EntryOriginal, and the row cites May 20, 1862 (12 Stat. 392). Accession 232217 covers two location rows. They share the 71.4000 acres the source reports.
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 1911, 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: 71.4000 acres is the whole patent, spread across two location rows.

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