7 STAT. 218 — TESTED NEGATIVE ON LATITUDE
The Treaty of Chicago of 29 August 1821 took the St. Joseph valley's north — and stops north of this township. Its first article's calls, read in the treaty text, bound the Indiana cession by a line drawn due east from the southern extreme of Lake Michigan — the line of 1817, which this build's Osceola pass plotted from the plotted calls and found to lie at about 41.616 degrees north, north of the state line and not the state line — turning due south from Parc aux Vaches to the St. Joseph River. Every acre of Lincoln Township lies south of that line: the township runs from about 41.52 degrees north at its north edge to about 41.43 at its south, and the townsite stands at 41.466. The cession never reaches it. The treaty's second-article reserves — Mang-ach-qua's, Mick-ke-saw-be's, Na-to-wa-se-pe's, Prairie Ronde, Match-e-be-narh-she-wish's — and its third-article grants, Pierre Moran's at the mouth of the Elkhart among them, are Michigan and Elkhart River ground; none touches this township. The instrument that took the townsite of the sister build to the northeast (the Osceola pass's GAP-O1-4 verdict) is, on this ground, a negative — the answer varies by ground, and on this ground 1821 is not the taker.
