Summary
The General Land Office issued this patent to ANTHONY O GEDEK KAK MIG; SIGISMUND WE JI NAW on 1 December 1851, out of the Sault Ste. Marie land office. The land is T40N R10W Section 35 SWSE — 40N10W35SESW 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__.352 has this one location row, and the source reports 40.0000 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 1851, 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.
