Mikesell -- available via Heritage Books, Inc. (on-line).
p.129: Franklin Co. Deeds - Book C -- Mortgage deed dated 1818 -- Samuel

Hope this helps.

I have the impression that there is a book that contains the names of
the
people in Indiana (or at least the part of Indiana in which Decatur is
located) that made the first purchases of land from the government. If
anyone
has access to that book, could they check to see if William Chambers
is
listed and the year in which he bought the land?
Thank you.
