Old Antique Historical
Political Document. President William Henry Harrison
1841 Land Grant. 'Whereas Harvey Durkee of Racine
County, Wisconsin Territory has deposited in the
General Land Office of the United States, a
Certificate of the Register of the Land Office at
Milwaukee whereby it appears full payment has been
made by the said Harvey Durkee according to the
provisions of the act of Congress the 24th of April
1820 entitled, An Act making further provision for
the sale of the Public Lands for the West half of
the North East quarter of section thirty in Township
four North of Range eighteen East in the District of
Lands subject to sale at Milwaukee Wisconsin
containing eighty acres. In Testimony Whereof, I,
William Henry Harrison, President of The United
States of America have caused these letters to be
made Patent, and the Seal of the General Land Office
to be hereunder affixed. Given under my hand, at the
City of Washington, the twenty fifth day of March in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
forty one and of the Independence of the United
States the sixty fifth. Considering President
Harrison only held office for a short time, these
land grants can be considered very hard to find.
