Summary
The General Land Office issued this patent to ROBERT ROE; ALEXANDER SAMPLE on 10 May 1873, out of the Traverse City land office. The land is T34N R13W Section 5 NESE — 34N13W5SENE 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 MI2450__.368 covers three location rows. They share the 120.0000 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 1873, 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: 120.0000 acres is the whole patent, spread across three location rows.
