My ancestor, William Hance Hamilton, bought land in 1818, in an area that
became
the Jefferson Proving Ground (E1/2SE, Sec 5, T6N, R10E). If I ever
get to Indiana will it be possible to visit the area where he lived? It is
just west of New Marion, I believe, close to the Jennings County line and
the Graham Creek runs through it.
Many thanks,
Gail
