Interesting factoids Andrea. I had heard one or two of these in passing but it's good
to actually see them all together. Definitely a post to save for later. Thanks for
sharing this!

Early records may be found elsewhere --read this carefully--
Marriages, land transactions, or probate/estate records for people who lived
in the Wayne, Franklin, or Randolph County areas east of the Greenville
Treaty Line (Gore Area) prior to Wayne and Franklin Counties being formed,
may possibly be located in the Dearborn County records.
Marriages, land transactions, or probate/estate records for people who lived
in the Randolph County area before that county was formed, may possibly be
located in the Wayne County records.
Marriages, land transactions, or probate/estate records for people who lived
in the eastern Fayette County area before that county was formed, may
possibly be located in the Wayne or Franklin County records.
Marriages, land transactions, or probate/estate records for people who lived
in the Union County area before that county was formed, may possibly be
located in the Wayne, Franklin, or Fayette County records.

The same can be said of the counties north of Randolph, including Allen
County, as for a while, the north line of the county for Randolph went all
the way to the Michigan/Indiana State line. I don't remember the year that
changed off the top of my head. But it is written about in the current
history book at the museum (1990 book). Andrea
