Summary
The General Land Office issued this patent to DANIEL T GALLAGHER on 2 March 1921, out of the Marquette land office. The land is T37N R11W Section 13 E½SW — 37N11W13SW 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 797235 has this one location row, and the source reports 80.0000 acres for it.
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 1921, 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.
