Summary
The General Land Office issued this patent to ANGELINE WAB-NIN-KEE; JOHN WAB-NIN-KEE on 11 May 1909, out of the Marquette land office. The land is T38N R10W Section 18 NESW — 38N10W18SWNE on the Michigan Meridian (19) once the description is normalised. Its authority is Indian Homestead Trust, and the row cites May 20, 1862 (12 Stat. 392). Accession 60307 covers two location rows. They share the 80.0000 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 1909, 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: 80.0000 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 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?
