With the formation of Ohio county in 1844, did the township names and
section boundaries from former Dearborn county territory remain the same? I
have a hunch that township names remained intact, but the sections probably
had to be renumbered. (In order to make our research job tougher! <G>)
I have the unfortunate job, along with others, of trying to figure out
exactly where our John C. SUTTON lived in the 1830's.
The SUTTON's lived, as best we can tell, where Ripley, Dearborn, Ohio and
Switzerland come together, probably straddling more than one county with
their holdings. One of several home places was near Bear Branch, now part
of Ohio county, adjoining the Switzerland county northern border.
If anyone is an expert on this part of SE Indiana, particularly the Bear
Branch area, I would love to hear from you.
Thanks,
