Confirmed by the District Court Oct. 3, 1855, and Dec. 9, 1865; an order for the decree to issue was made, but the decree is lost. Patent issued to Maria Teresa de la Guerra de Hartnell Feb. 15, 1882, for 2,971.26 acres. The patent is recorded in Salinas, Monterey County, but without a plat. The original patent was in the iron safe and so survived the 1906 San Francisco fire. It is at present in the National Archives in Washington. No. 267 General Land Office map. See also 835, Todos Santos, 357 SD, 362 ND. In this claim Hartnell also claimed the above rancho; the Board Omitted to pass on this part of the claim, but the District Court rejected it as land purchased by Hartnell. Bowman, J.N.
