the significance of searching by Section or Township?
By searching Sections and Townships, researchers can determine the names of adjoining patent grantees, and possibly, present and future kinsmen. The “Sortable Grid” function displays information regarding Grantees and the coordinates for Patent Location. Click a header to sort the search results. For example, to view the Quarter-Sections in numerical order for Township 1, Range 1, East, click “Quarter Section Number” on the results for “Sortable Grid”.
