Notes

Description: While the claim is identified as being along the Huron River, the location is actually on the present day Clinton River in Macomb County, Mich.. The waterway's name was changed to Clinton River on July 19, 1824 in the First Session by the 1st Council of the Legislative Council of the Territory of Michigan in Detroit, Mich. (Journal of the Legislative Council of the Territory of Michigan pp. 56-57). The name change was to alleviate confusion between this particular river that fed into Lake St. Clair and the Huron River located in Monroe County, Mich. that fed into Lake Erie.

System of arrangement: Records are arranged by date.
