Jacob Grim - Oregon - 1852-1877 - Donation Land Claims


The above image is from "Public Land Survey Township Plats, compiled 1789–1946, documenting the period 1785–1946".  It shows Donation Land Claim property in Township No. 9 South, Range No. 3 East. Jacob Grim's property is just north of the Clackamas River and his son, Daniel also has land there. 

Jacob, his wife Jane, and his son Daniel, all filed Donational Land Claims.
Jacob and Jane's patents were finally formalized on the 6th of April 1875:

Township/Range           Aliquots     Section   County
002S - 003E                S½SE¼        17         Clackamas

002S - 003E                Lot/Trct 2     17         Clackamas
002S - 003E                Lot/Trct 3     17         Clackamas
002S - 003E                Lot/Trct 1     20         Clackamas
002S - 003E                Lot/Trct 2     20         Clackamas
002S - 003E                Lot/Trct 3     20         Clackamas

Son Daniel Grim's patent was formalized on the 3rd of October 1874: 

Township/Range             Aliquots    Section    County

002S - 003E                   SW¼NE¼   17         Clackamas

002S - 003E                   SE¼NW¼   17         Clackamas
002S - 003E                   NW¼SE¼   17         Clackamas
002S - 003E                   Lot/Trct 1   17         Clackamas


 
And further property was deeded to him on the 15th of October 1874:
 
Township/Range             Aliquots    Section     County

002S - 003E                   SW¼SW¼    8          Clackamas

002S - 003E                   N½NW¼     17          Clackamas


I had to look up the word Aliquot: In the Public Land Survey System a subdivision of a section based upon an even division by distances along the edges, and not by equal area.

That did not help clarify it for me!
