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.
