Compiler Note: This Table of Land Patents is based on some 50 "Land Patents"
obtained from the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands in Madison which cover
the period 1866 - 1884. However, these are a mere drop in the bucket of
land ownership in TWP Thorp for that period. The table below reflects the owners
and property descriptions from the Land Patents. As expected, many parcels were
owned by lumber companies. Please send suggestions,
comments and corrections to Paul Forster.
