GLO ACRONYMS
PEC; can’t say I’ve seen this one before, have you?
I tried to find it on the BLM website with very little success. I did find this:
It seems, Isaac Pincus acquired 95.9 acres with a serial patent, in 1873.
This has no real bearing on my survey; just curious as to what it meant, in 1873.
TIA to all the good people on this board; you guys are the BEST!

I see “Rec’d with letter” inked in red on the original GLO plat if that is to what you are referring.
What I’m trying to figure out; what does P.E.C. stand for?
I see the note about the letter, maybe that’s where I’ll find my answer…
I hope everyone has a great day; I know I will!
Preemption claim?
@dougie
I guess my eyes are worse than I thought. I can’t find an acronym “P.E.C.” on the map. I guess if it were a snake, it would have bit me by now.
I apologize, I didn’t see it on the old map either. It shows up on the Assessor’s map, several surveys and deeds…

I see PEC and DLC following a few names on the Assessor’s map. I’d contact the assessor’s office to see if they could explain. I’d venture a guess that PEC would be Patent Entry Claim & DLC would be Deed Land Claim, but I’m just spit-balling here.
@kevin-hines The acronym DLC stands for Donation Land Claim.
@dougie I’ve never seen P.E.C. either. I didn’t see any mention of it on the patent or the diagrams and supplemental plats for T. 20 N., R. 2 E., Willamette P.M.
DLC is pretty common; I think @blitzkriegbob is probably pretty close…
I hope everyone has a great day; I know I will!@dougie The patent says that the four lots (6-9) were patented under the authority of the Act of April 24, 1820. I’m not that savvy about the various rules for disposal of the Public Lands under a preemption claim, so you may be correct.
Found it here. Pre-emption Claim

That googlesearch thing is tricky. Sometimes you have to search for really weird things to find something normal.
Thanks Mr. Cow: looks like I will need to sharpen my Googling skills…
