Summary
The General Land Office issued this patent to JOHN VINCENT on 8 February 1892, out of the Grayling land office. The land is T40N R10W Section 35 SENE — 40N10W35NESE on the Michigan Meridian (19) once the description is normalised. Its authority is Homestead EntryOriginal, and the row cites May 20, 1862 (12 Stat. 392). Accession MI3110__.151 covers three location rows. They share the 160.6000 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 1892, 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: 160.6000 acres is the whole patent, spread across three location rows.
