from what I know, of reading this kind of thing, I believe he was no 30 on the allot ment list. The area of land was South 1/2 (acre maybe), NE 1/4 Sec 2 Twsp (is township) probably # 39 in Range 8 which amounts to 80 acres. It explains where the land is located; much like a deed. You would have to check with the Country Recorder where it was located. Good luck

Hi Honestind, Have you or anybody seen or copied this kind of allotments? Where can i get this allotment for Paul Revi # 30 on the list?

>> ... No. of allotment 33 > I believe he was no 30 on the allotment list. I'm not sure what that # is but this looks like a pretty good guess [although think it transposes age with allotment #] ... easy to check by finding the allotment list -- it'll be at NARA and/or Great Lakes Regional in Chicago ... it'll take a little while but if necessary, I'll try to run it down for you (let me know). I can interpret the land location, and you can work backwards from that either from local land records (the county probably has them); it is probably accessible from the Bureau of Land Management website at : http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ >> S 1/2 NE 1/4 Sec 2 Twsp 39 Range 8 Acres 80 This line indicates the allotment was 80 acres comprising the southern half of the northeast quarter of Section 2 located in Township 39 / Range 8 "Township" here does not refer to a political boundary but to the range/section survey system which blocked out the Old Northwest into "townships" containing 36 square-mile sections. There is a Principle Meridian and a Baseline for each state surveyed, not necessarily in the geographic center but more or less in the middle -- townships are denoted as either North or South of the baseline, Ranges as either East or West of the Meridian. You need to get your hands on a survey map -- is this Wisconsin ?? If so, you won't have a problem -- Goggle up terms like "land survey" "map" and "Wisconsin" and you'll find what you need ( Wisconsin is good for it ;} ... if not, get back to us and I'll help you out. The survey Township must be North ... I'd have to look at the right state map to see if Range was east or west, but you may well be able to figure that out just by locating reserve -- if it's west of state center line it's likely west. Once you've your finger on Twp 39N / Range 8W (or E), find Section 2. The first square mile in the northeast of the section is #1 and #2 will be the next one west. Each section is subdivided into quarters of 160 acres -- the bottom half of the northeastern quarter of Section #2 is the 80 acres comprising the allotment. You should be able to find it very easily once you've got a county or reserve map with the survey delineated -- 19th century state and county atlases almost always have section maps. Again, if you need help come on back -- that's what the list is for. happy hunting - rdw
