Make that "your Federal Land lecture," not "you're." Maybe it's time for me
to close up shop for the day?

Okay, I think I may have misunderstood something quite basic: what kind of
file am I in possession of? I am doing Lesson 9 of the NGS course, which is
the Federal Land lesson.
As I look read the lesson once more, I looked at the descriptions of:
1. Credit entry
2. Cash entry
3. Donation entry
4. Homestead entry
Because this Crowder file was a cash sale, I assumed it was a cash entry.
But the cash entry description doesn't include the documents that the
Homestead description does; specifically, testimony of claimant and
testimony of two witnesses.
Am I on the right track here?
(Claire Bettag, if you monitor this list, you're Federal Land lecture at
IGHR was brilliant. Too bad I didn't retain every word of it!)

Was it the dates of the record subgroup that I was missing?
1. Jane E. Crowder (Howell County) cash entry file, certificate no.
2050, Ironton, Missouri, Land Office; Land Entry Papers, 1800-1908; Records
of the Bureau of Land Management, Record Group 49; National Archives,
Washington, D.C.
No dates should be attached, no mention that she completed her deceased
husband's original app?

Janis,
I can't answer this today because of pressing deadline. But read EE 11.1 and
the several pages of 11.8. (Yes, I know that 11.8 has the word "microfilm"
in its header, but the basic principles are the same.) After you read it,
post a follow-up to tell us what you think your citation is missing and how
you think you can go about getting the missing detail. Okay?

I need help with this citation. Yes, I have consulted EE, and found a number
of pertinent references, but remain confused.
Background:

Ironton MO land office
13 March 1879, Bluford A. Crowder dies in Howell Co
31 March 1879, Jane E. Crowder, widow of Bluford, Homestead Proof, Testimony
of Claimant
6 Oct 1881, Letters patent issued to Jane E. Crowder, widow of Bluford;
Homestead certificate no. 2050, application no. 4388
Documents I pulled at the National Archives, RG 49
Citation?
1. Jane E. Crowder (Howell County), cash entry file,
certificate no. 2050, Ironton, Missouri, Land Office; Records of the Bureau
of Land Management, Record Group 49; National Archives, Washington, D.C.
Thanks for any input on this!
