     This is the land patent for HOWE SELLERS.  Bureau of Land Management
site says this is Knox County, IL.
and calls this grant IL5250_463.  The warrant and patent originate from the
May 6, 1812 Script-Warrant Act of 1812.
     On the copy of grant, there also a couple of initials, possibly LS or
GS and two strikeouts randomly placed in the margin.  One is the date Oct.
5, 18_2.  Might be 1812, but I really cannot say for sure—could be 1872.
The number struck out is 1639750—don’t know why.
