Summary

The General Land Office issued this patent to CHARLES L MANN; JOHN O PLANK on 10 April 1899, out of the Marquette land office. The land is T35N R13W Section 24 — 35N13W24 on the Michigan Meridian (19) once the description is normalised. Its authority is Sale-Cash Entry, and the row cites April 24, 1820 (3 Stat. 566). Accession MI1040__.201 covers two location rows. They share the 50.1500 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 1899, 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: 50.1500 acres is the whole patent, spread across two location rows.

PLSS connections

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?
