Jennifer,
Fairmount Township was previously called Union Township. If you look in the
1850 census, it is listed as Union. It is only beginning in the 1860 that
it is Fairmount. There used to be a link in the county genweb site about
the formation of the townships. Can't recall if it is still there, but if
so it may help.
Good luck!

Is it just me, or is the 1840 census for Grant County missing Fairmount
Township? I am going through the whole county in Ancestry, but I have not
found anyone from Fairmount.
