Hi,
According to my AniMap program, Liberty Indiana does not show as being
in Wayne County, although it was very close to the County line. Wayne County
was formed in 1811 from Dearborn, Clark, and Knox Counties, and Liberty was
at that time (if it existed then) in Franklin County.
Union County was formed in 1826 from Franklin County, so in 1851 when
great grandmother was born, Liberty would have been in Union County.
Does anyone have more information on this? I'm also interested as my
ggg grandparents lived in Union County almost on the Ohio border and Wayne
County Indiana lines. Records show some of their children being born in
Wayne County although I've found no information showing that they ever moved
around. I think the county line just moved and they stayed in the same place.

Was Liberty ever in Wayne County? My great grandmother gave her
birthplace
as Liberty, Wayne County on several documents. She was born in 1851.
