Randy,
I have a question about something I noticed on the Butler
Township, Franklin County, Indiana, map, located at
http://www.fortunecity.com/millenium/rose/29/butler.jpg.
On this map, which is listed as the township where the Jones/Lanning and
Jones/Clawson cemeteries are located, there is a line called "Old Indian
Treaty Boundary." As I remember it, the line goes from southwest to
northwest across the map.
I am very curious to know what this represents, and also what Native
American tribes would have been in this area, especially at the time of
the treaty.
I suspect that one of my ancestors, either Sarah A. Egbert or her
husband James Stout, both of whom lived in this area at least from about
1843 to about 1858, may have
been Native American. Several cousins and I have been unable to find
either one anywhere before 1843.
Thanks for any help!
Susan
