Summary

The General Land Office issued this patent to NICHOLAS PICKARD on 30 March 1850, out of the Sault Ste. Marie land office. The land is T34N R13W Section 15 — 34N13W15 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 MI1960__.206 covers three location rows. They share the 74.9500 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 1850, 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: 74.9500 acres is the whole patent, spread across three location rows.

Open questions

  • Does the county deed index record a conveyance out of this patent?
  • Does any held record identify NICHOLAS PICKARD beyond this spelling?
