Summary
The General Land Office issued this patent to KAY WAH BE KE SEE on 10 October 1853, out of the Sault Ste. Marie land office. The land is T39N R10W Section 12 NENW — 39N10W12NWNE 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__.410 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 1853, 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.
