If the Land Patents office shows nothing try the county clerks office in the
county in which he resided when he died. If you don't have the address let me
know as I have it in a URL in my files for each county of Indiana.

Have you gone into the Bureau of Land Management and looked up Land Patents
to see if maybe that land is listed in there under one of the sons or
son-in-laws names? Go to

Subject: [INHANCOC] Land sale question
I was wondering how I could find out when a person sold a plot of
land,
and
who he sold it to.
My ggggg grandfather bought 80 acres of land on 9 SEP 1835, doc. 17488.
Description as follows. N1/2 NW, Sec. 23, T 15-N, R 9E
When he died in 1842, there is no mention made of the land in his will.
I'm
curious if he sold it to one of his sons or sons-in-law.
Thank you,
Jennifer
