Marta, nice to hear from someone from my neck of the woods, I am from Huntington Co myself
and am a transplant from here. I will certainly ask around about such things but as far I
my guess would be, you would have to do a title request and that would cost you about $200
to do. I wish to do the same thing in a way since my father's place was broken in to
and in the safe was the orginal copy of the land deed signed by the president at the time.
I never saw the deed and it got burned when these 4 drug junkies took a torch to the safe
to cut it open and burn several irreplaceable things like this and my mom and dad original
marriage liscense. I wonder if you can get that information at the county assessor office
at the court house. I wouldn't guess at the cost but I do know that copies there are
a dollar a page. You can contact them at 100 S Main st, Winchester, IN 47394 or
765-584-2427 or 765-584-7070.
I am forwarding this to a few other genealogy/history buffs for their imput, so what do
you think Gina and Austin? Any other suggestions for her?
As far as the information you have, I am sure the musuem would be interested and the
Randolph co gen web site as well, these two can also answer those questions for you.

Hello Andrea Long,
I have a question for you. I just discovered the old house that my ggg
grandfather Capt. Jacob A. Jackson owned in Modoc, IN and there person who
is living there now has promised me copies of the land information he has on
it showing my relatives signatures, history of the property, etc. but after
contacting him for months, I am realizing that he does not intend to send me
these copies he promised long ago.
I would like to put together a complete story on this wonderful patriot of
Randolph County as the Eli Lilly Civil War Museum at Monument Circle in
Indianapolis just closed a temporary exhibit on him that was up for two
years and I am thinking of writing a book about him. There is quite a story
to tell about him. They gave me the story boards that they made to tell his
story in the exhibit. Would you be interested in knowing about him for any
future exhibits there in Randolph Co. or by the Civil War roundtable?
The question is, where would I get copies of the land records that the
present owner has for myself?
His father, the immigrant to Indiana Samuel Jackson, sold him this land that
Samuel (b. 1796) had originally settled on in Modoc.
Many thanks for any direction!
Regards,
