Mount Clemens Macomb County, Michigan Text Version of Land Claims Prior to 1875
This is the text version of land claims for the City of Mount Clemens, Michigan. Some plats are just un-readable. I have made an effort to transcribe this to the best of my ability, however, you might want to order the exact Land Claim from the County Clerk's Office County of Macomb. It is useful in that, it does show acreage, and you can tell which neighbors may have been located near your family.
Since plats are not in exact square acreage or marked by sections, I have included some direction to the plat. Again, some names are completely un-readable.
