Summary

The General Land Office issued this patent to MOSES WAY WE NE KUNG on 19 August 1875, out of the Washington Ofc. The land is T38N R11W Section 3 — 38N11W3 on the Michigan Meridian (19) once the description is normalised. Its authority is Indian Allotment - General, and the row cites February 8, 1887 (24 Stat. 388). Accession MI3250__.287 covers two location rows. They share the 93.0000 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 1875, 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: 93.0000 acres is the whole patent, spread across two location rows.

Open questions

  • Does the county deed index record a conveyance out of this patent?
  • Does any held record identify MOSES WAY WE NE KUNG beyond this spelling?
