Richard and others
I have found the Yahoo Maps to be a reasonable source for this type of
research. Another inquiry about Potato Creek was made and I found that
by moving the map around North Liberty I found not only Potato Creek but
Spud Creek too!!
Good luck
Jeff

Subject: [INSTJOSE] Sumption Prarie
My ancestors lived 4-5 miles NW of Lakeville in Union township from
1854. Civil War pension files show the township was sometimes Liberty,
other times Union, however all census records indicate Union township.
Some references are made to Sumption Prarie which I am told still exists
and has a local cemetery and Methodist Church.
Can anyone shed light on where Sumption Prarie is? Which township? How
far is it from Potato Creek State Park?
Thanks
Richard Smith
