The purpose of presenting the above information is to help those without
access to B. R. Sulgrove's book. I have this book for one more week and
will do lookups as time permits on folks from the first and third lists
above. If interested please write me privately and use the subject title
"Wayne Twp LOOKUP."
Names in the middle section included just property locations; that
information is available elsewhere. A place to check would be the BLM
site at:
