PATRICK SULLIVAN
PROOF
OSAGE CEDED LAND
1497
January 9th 1871
In the matter of
the application of Patrick Sullivan to purchase the North West gr of Section 11
Township 30 Range 18E under the provisions of the Joint Resolution of Congress,
approved April 10th 1869, for the disposal of the lands ceded by the Osage
Indians, under the 1st and 2d Articles of the Treaty of Sept. 29th 1865.
Personally appeared the said Patrick Sullivan and offered proof in support of
his application as follows:
Thomas Mitchell of lawful age, being duly sworn,
deposes and says: I have known Patrick Sullivan for about 15 years last past;
that he is a single man over 28 years of age a citizen of the United States; and
a bona fide settler upon the foregoing described land, which he seeks to
purchase; having settled thereon about the 1st of December 1867. On or about the
last of December 1867, he built a house upon said land 18 by 20 feet, 1 story
high, shingle roof, 1 door 2 windows. He moved into said house with his
household goods and effects on or about the middle of January 1868 and has
resided in said house and upon said land to the present time, and that he has
made the following additional improvements on said land: Built a stable, dug a
well, and has 40 acres broken and in cultivation, fenced partly with nails and
partly with hedge 2 years old; also a few fruit trees growing.
Cross
Examined
I have lived with applicant the first year, and within about 15
miles since that. I have been there regularly about once a month. In 1868, he
broke, fenced and cultivated about 5 acres; in 1869 he broke & cultivated about
10 acres additional; in 1870 enough to make up the balance of the 40 acres. I am
no relation of the applicant. While I was with him, no one else resided on the
place. He made his improvements by his own personal labor. When he settled
there, the nearest house to his place was about 3 miles distant. Applicant has
never, to my knowledge been absent except on business. About 3 days is the
longest I have ever known him to be absent. I do not know of his boarding any
where else than on the claim. I think I would be likely to know it if he had. I
have always found him there when I was there. I have visited so regularly
because I was so well acquainted with him. I would generally go there Saturday
night and stay until Monday morning. I had no particular business with him. I
have resided in Osage Mission and Erie for the last two years.

Mitchell
Sworn to and having been read in hearing of witness, subscribed
before me this 9th day of January 1871.
Signed DE Emmet Receiver
John
Chartress (?) of lawful age, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
I have known
the applicant and the land he seeks to purchase since about January 15th 1868,
having resided within 2 miles of him about half of the time, and at Osage
Mission, about 15 miles distant the balance of the time. While residing at the
Osage Mission I was at his house about once a month. I have heard the testimony
of preceding witness, and have personal knowledge that the allegations therein
are substantially correct, except as to settlement and residence prior to Jan
15th 1868. I know that he was residing in said house on said land on the 15th of
January 1868.
Cross Examined
About the 15th of January 1868, I was
residing at Osage Mission. On the 15th of Jany 1868, I was at his place. I was
back and forth, making friendly visits. I have been residing at Osage Mission
ever since the 15th of Jany 1868, about half of the time, and the balance of the
time at Ladore and around on farms.
Re-direct
I worked at Mr. Wall's 3
months - about 4 miles distant. That was in the spring of 1869

Charters
Sworn to, and having been read in hearing of witness, subscribed
before me this 9th day of January 1871
Signed DE Emmet Receiver
James
Anderson, of lawful age, being duly sworn, deposes and says: I have known
applicant and the land he seeks to purchase since Sept. 1867, having resided
within one mile of applicant during that time except the last three months,
during which time I have resided at Erie. I have been at his house 3 or 4 times
during the past 3 months. I have heard the testimony the first preceding
witnesses, and have personal knowledge that the allegations therein are
substantially correct.
Cross Examined
Applicant is a native born
citizen. He built his house on the claim in Jany 1868. He moved into it the same
month. Before he moved into his house, he lived within 4 miles of it. We broke
between 1/2 and 1 acre before he moved into his house. Since he moved into that
house, applicant has not boarded or lodged anywhere else. I stopped with him 6
or 7 months, after he put up his house, and then I put up a house about a mile
distant. When I lived with him no one else lived with him. Mr. Mitchell stopped
once in a while with him. I believe Mr. Mitchell has been there as often as once
a month during the last two years, staying over Sunday. Mr. Charters has been
there back and forth, but not as often as Mr. Mitchell. Applicant has about 3/4
of a mile of hedge fence. He put it there in the spring of 1869. No one with a
family has resided on that land.
