BLM General Land Office records and the Indiana tract-book databases, recorded UNEXECUTED with parameters printed's note; Chapman (1880), "First Entries of Land," pp. 338–339, executed; Indiana Archives (IARA) LaPorte-Winamac land-office page, read.
No first entry for Section 25 was recovered, and no purchaser of the section is named in this build. The databases that answer the question could not be executed by text fetch: the BLM GLO search returns only a JavaScript shell, and the tract-book searches (FamilySearch collection 2074276; the Indiana Digital Archives) likewise stand unexecuted, each recorded with its exact parameters — State Indiana, County St. Joseph, Second Principal Meridian, Township 38 North, Range 2 East, Section 25 — and none of them dressed as a result. What print carriers were executed, they answer at county level only: Chapman prints the county's lands coming into market in the spring of 1830 and its first entries on 19 April 1830 — John Johnston and Samuel Bell, both in Section 11, Township 38 North, Range 3 East — and his Clay chapter prints no entry list for the township at all. One trap in the settler order is corrected here in print: the land office of the frame pass's framing was only half the search. The IARA's own page states that the LaPorte-Winamac office's first sale was 12 August 1833 and that sales by the Fort Wayne office "are not included in the records of the LaPorte-Winamac Office" — so a Section 25 entry from the county's 1830 market opening could sit in the Fort Wayne index (1823–1852), which is therefore the first settler to run, before LaPorte-Winamac. (The compiler sometimes cited for published Indiana entries is Margaret R. Waters, and her volumes cover the Cincinnati and Vincennes districts only — not this ground.) Gap G-FR-3 is therefore not closed; it is narrowed, with the corrected order of settlers printed's note. The 1875 county atlas adds a dated silence: its Clay Township early-settler footnote names settlers on twelve sections — 13, 14, 19, 21, 23, 24, 26 and on through 36 — and Section 25 is not among them; its Clay directory, transcribed name by name, lists no Section 25 patron. The atlas's Clay map plate, where the section's 1875 landowners would be printed, is a graphic the text layer does not carry; its image read is the standing pull row IV-IMG-1, and until that read, the section's 1875 holders are not recovered — the directory is never substituted for the map.
