I've scanned through the first few "pages" of Baber's History of Green
Co. and didn't see anything about the canals. But it might be there.

I've also checked my Green Co. History book published in the 1990s but it only goes
back to 1885. There is a brief mention of the canal, that it was connected to Internal
Improvements Act of 1836.
Here's a Wikipedia Link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabash-Erie_Canal
I also found this article through Wikipedia (and there were some other potential links
there)

I'd think your best bet would be to email a reference librarian at the state library
if you can't find it through these internet resources
