Summary

This record preserves one BLM General Land Office land-record row. The source identifies the grantee or patentee as MICHIGAN DEPT OF CONSERVATION and gives the legal description T37N R11W Section 2 ALL MINERALS RESERVED TO US SUBJECT TO RIGHTS AND R-O-W. The normalized join is 37N11W2W under Michigan Meridian (19). The authority is Exchange-Natl Forest (lieu). The source cites March 2, 1899 (30 Stat. 993). The patent record reports 1637.3700 acres across all its location rows.

Ownership evidence and limits

The GLO row is evidence of the transaction or issuance represented by the record. It is not a complete chain of title, a current owner lookup, or proof that the named grantee lived on the land. Names remain source spellings until a separate identity record supports a person or organization link. Reported acreage belongs to the patent as a whole and must not be assigned to this one location row when the patent has multiple legal descriptions.

PLSS connections

Open questions

  • Does the county deed index show a later conveyance from this recorded grantee?
  • Can the source’s grantee spelling be resolved to a person or organization without relying on surname, proximity, or a place-name association?
  • Does a tract-book or field-note entry add an acreage, lot, or survey-history detail absent from this export row?
