# OHC_2513 — Source Jacket ## Source identity - Source-facing label: `OHC_2513.pdf` - Drive file ID used for this reading: `1mloifIwWfKXKSi-ZSe4mb6ieUNyojxCo` - Current parent: `Source objects — received batch 1 — OHC 2408–2518` - Parent Drive folder ID: `1qBiU33LC1FXr2n7X1CrvtNrx7qennMdA` - File type: PDF scan / photographic representation of one manuscript ledger face. - Status: primary-source representation; the scan is a representation of the historical manuscript face, not the manuscript itself. - Page-visible heading: `Public Lands — No. 3. Form of a Return — Continued — Location under the Choctaw Treaty` - Page-visible number at upper left: `118` - Upper-right inscription: `No. 1230 1834` - Exact historical date of this face: not established by this reading. The source does not state what the `1834` inscription records. A second stored object also carries the filename `OHC_2513.pdf`, Drive ID `1njpQH2ZxriUnhAldkxdlXkubBO6sICud`, in a different custody parent. Direct payload comparison establishes that the two stored PDFs are byte-identical representations: 217,138 bytes each, SHA-256 `e64b34324441d0b05069d3d1f54e119557428c90313942fbfcb19e19a5101ec5`. They are not independent witnesses. This jacket does not merge or delete either stored object. The present reading is anchored to the exact ID above. ## Documentary boundary One captured ledger/table face from a larger Public Lands / Choctaw Treaty return sequence. The face is explicitly marked `Continued`; it is therefore not a complete return by itself. ## Visible table structure The page carries columns headed, in substance and with source spelling retained where legible: - `Names of Indians owning Farms` - `No. of Acres Cultivated` - `Entire No. of the Family` - `Males over 16 years` - `Males and Females under 10 years` - `Locality of Farms` - `Total No. of Acres` - `General Remarks` The page contains many named rows. Several locality and acreage entries are intermittent rather than repeated on every row. ## Consequential named occurrence — second-to-last name on the face The second-to-last named row reads clearly: **`Robert Bell.`** Reading confidence: high. Visible values on the same horizontal row: - Name: `Robert Bell.` - No. of acres cultivated: `8` - Entire no. of the family: `2` - Males over 16 years: no value visibly entered on this row - Males and females under 10 years: no value visibly entered on this row - Locality of farms: no locality visibly entered on this row - Total no. of acres: no acreage visibly entered on this row - General remarks: no remark visibly entered on this row The row immediately above carries `Pearl river` in the locality column and `160` in total acres. Those entries align with the row above Robert Bell and should **not** be silently transferred onto the Robert Bell row. The final named row beneath Robert Bell appears to read `[unclear: Donkhama?]`; this jacket does not force that reading. ## Ruled-row correction — Article 19 remark and 640-acre figure A full-width 500-DPI alignment corrects an earlier crossing note. The source-written `640` in the printed Total No. of Acres column and the General Remarks entry `Entitled as Capt under the 19th article of the treaty.` belong to the captain-titled row immediately above `Allen Jones. (do)`, not to Allen Jones. The captain-titled row carries: - Name: captain-titled Jones row; the personal-name reading remains correction-open; `Half breed` is written in the name field - No. of acres cultivated: `25` - Entire no. of the family: `9` - Males over 16 years: marked but not securely numeric; no value is promoted - Males and females under 10 years: `6` - Locality of farms: no locality visibly entered - Total no. of acres: `640` - General remarks: `Entitled as Capt under the 19th article of the treaty.` The immediately following row carries: - Name: `Allen Jones. (do)` - No. of acres cultivated: `8` - Entire no. of the family: `6` - Males over 16 years: `1` - Males and females under 10 years: `4` - Locality of farms: no locality visibly entered - Total no. of acres: dotted or otherwise marked, but not numeric; meaning unresolved - General remarks: no remark visibly entered The source does not define what `(do)` repeats. It does not state the administrative force of `Entitled`, identify the personal name in the captain-titled row securely enough for promotion, or establish patent, reserve location, residence, possession, receipt, or completed land outcome. ## Faithful observations - `Robert Bell.` is visibly present as the second-to-last named occurrence on OHC_2513. - The Robert Bell row visibly carries `8` cultivated acres and an entire family count of `2`. - No locality, total-acre entry, or general remark is visibly written on the Robert Bell row in this capture. - The Article 19 remark and `640` figure align with the captain-titled row above Allen Jones. - Allen Jones's row retains its own `8 / 6 / 1 / 4` sequence; its total-acre cell is marked but nonnumeric, and its General Remarks cell is blank. - The source does not visibly state a relationship between Robert Bell and neighboring names. - The page itself is a continued table and therefore provides only local sequence context, not a complete documentary context for Robert Bell. ## Inference None required to establish the name occurrence or the corrected row assignment. The juxtaposition of Robert Bell with the surrounding rows is a retrieval clue only. It does not by itself establish household, kinship, residence, identity with another Robert Bell, or entitlement under any other article or record. ## Explicit nonclaims This face does **not**, by itself, establish: - that this Robert Bell is the Robert Bell of any other Armstrong, Article 14, patent, Dawes, Court of Claims, or family record; - that `Pearl river` belongs to Robert Bell's row; - that `160` acres belongs to Robert Bell's row; - that the family count of `2` identifies who the second person was; - that absence of marks in the age columns means no persons existed in those categories rather than that the cells were left blank; - that the captain-titled row's personal name has been securely read; - that `640` or the Article 19 remark belongs to Allen Jones; - residence at a precise mapped location; - kinship with neighboring entries. ## Unresolved questions / next retrieval targets 1. Identify the archival series / institutional citation behind this Public Lands return if not already present in the corpus-level jacket. 2. Compare this exact `Robert Bell.` occurrence with other Robert Bell occurrences only through explicit source-facing crossings; do not merge identities from the name alone. 3. Revisit the final-row name beneath Robert Bell if that occurrence becomes consequential; it remains uncertain in this pass. 4. Revisit the captain-titled row's personal name only if a discriminating source or clearer representation becomes available. ## Correction / attribution history - 2026-09-03 — Fieldglass made this source-facing jacket from direct inspection of the rendered OHC_2513 source face at Ten's request, with special attention to the second-to-last name. - The reading `Robert Bell.` is a direct visual observation from this source face. - 2026-09-19 — Glean's earlier crossing addendum assigned `640` and the Article 19 remark to `Allen Jones. (do)`. Full-width 500-DPI alignment supersedes that assignment: both belong to the preceding captain-titled row. Allen Jones retains `8 / 6 / 1 / 4`; his total-acre cell is marked but nonnumeric and his General Remarks cell is blank. - 2026-09-19 — Glean directly controlled the upper-right inscription as `No. 1230 1834`; what `1834` records remains unresolved. Maker: Fieldglass; deepened and corrected by Glean Dates: 2026-09-03; 2026-09-19 ## Glean correction — 2026-09-21 — captain-titled Jones name High-resolution inspection of `OHC_2513.pdf`, manuscript page 118, resolves the personal-name segment on the row carrying `640` and `Entitled as Capt under the 19th article of the treaty.` It reads: **`Capt Wm Jones.`** The source wording `Half breed)` follows in the same printed name field. The closing parenthesis is visible; no opening parenthesis is supplied in this transcription. The row assignment does not change: this remains the `25 / 9 / [marked, nonnumeric] / 6` row with blank Locality of Farms, `640` total acres, and the Article 19 remark. The earlier generic description `captain-titled Jones row; the personal-name reading remains correction-open` is preserved above as correction history but is superseded at the name-reading point. `Wm` is retained as written and is not silently expanded. This occurrence is not merged with `William Jones.` two rows below, and row proximity does not establish kinship with Allen Jones or James Jones. The source wording `Half breed)` is preserved without converting it into a present-day identity or legal-status conclusion.
