BLM identifier for the Donation Land Claim of Noah and Mary Shanks is this: Document Nr: 1328 Total Acres: 320.BLM Serial Nr: OROCAA 001773.
The claim appears to have been accepted in 1866 and the amount of land given was 320 acres, an indicator that they were probably married and filed the claim as married and occupying the land claim.
I am extremely confident of the accuracy of the location general description which I provided just earlier, having researched this region very thoroughly.
The Rice family parcel was just easterly about half a mile, thus today's road is labeled Rice Road at the historical location where the road passed the Rice homestead claim and house.
