Summary

The General Land Office issued this patent to JOHN B AW DE NE ME on 19 August 1875, out of the Washington Ofc. The land is T39N R11W Section 28 E½SE — 39N11W28SE 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__.307 has this one location row, and the source reports 80.0000 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 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.

PLSS connections

Open questions

  • Does the county deed index record a conveyance out of this patent?
  • Does any held record identify JOHN B AW DE NE ME beyond this spelling?
