Subject: Re: [INRipley] Land records
Land records may tell where the buyer came from. I've found many
early
land
records that have the county of residence other than Ripley County
listed.
Some people buy land before moving to the area and that is why the Deed
will
list this fact.
Another thing to look for is who witnessed the deed. This might be a good
clue to follow. Very old deeds list name of owners of land that are
joined
to the particular land being bought/sold.
Just a few good points to look at.
