Thanks Eugene. I have wondered around down there by the Eel
River and the last time I was there it was all a huge corn field. I
expect it to be in that huge farm, was just hoping someone could
direct me to a map where I could place it in relation to the current
road that goes through there. I found evidence of the old railroad as well.
Appreciate your help.

I do not know too much on reading this kind of stuff, but as I
see it: Section 7, Twp 10 north, Range 6 West is in Harrison
Twp.... I am looking at a 1967 map of Clay county, copyrighted by
the Brazil Daily Times in 1967. And a 2007-2008 Indiana map, by
the Indiana Dept. of Transportation.
Indiana state road 59 is the eastern border of Sect.7, about 2
miles north of Clay City, and the northern border is the Eel
River. Two county roads, not identified, intersect at about the
center of the Section and a NYC railroad crosses the east-west road
in this area. I figure your land is in this area! Probably east of
the railroad. The two county roads and the NYC RR are not shown on
the 2008 map.

30Dec2013: I do not remember the date I wrote the above "quess" on
the location of your land. My knowledge of the reading keeps going
back to the fact that there is some info left off on your
description. ie: NE 1/4 SE 1/4 would be 40 acres and would place the
land in a different quadrant of the section. Not where I have it in
my first interpretation above. I think the more I would try to
describe where I think it is will confuse everyone. But just south
across the east/west road and maybe the RR runs north/south thru the
center of the land.

Subject: [INCLAY] Land Purchase
My GGGF purchased land in Clay County on 5 Aug 1837 at the Vincennes
office. I have the calls for the land but can not locate a map that
can help me place it. Any help appreciated.
The land was NE SW, Sect 7, Twp 10 North, Range 6 West,
containing 38+ acres.
