Summary

The General Land Office issued this patent to NAY NE GAW AW DAY NE MEE on 1 December 1851, out of the Sault Ste. Marie land office. The land is T39N R10W Section 2 NWNE39N10W2NENW 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 MI1970__.010 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.

Open questions

  • Does the county deed index record a conveyance out of this patent?
  • Does any held record identify NAY NE GAW AW DAY NE MEE beyond this spelling?
