Hi Paul-
What years and where in WI are you concerned with? The Upper Mississippi Lead Mine District had its own set of rules from early 1820s to 1836 and changed again in 1847. More info please.

Subject: Land patents vs County records
Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience with US land patent records versus county records? Which came 1st?? I am having some discrepancies with dates. Did the person who wanted to purchase the property go to the land patent office in Mineral Point 1st and then the transaction was recorded at the county level or vice versa?
Thanks,
Paul
