Thanks Edie. The route 46 has me puzzled as well so I checked through the family files
again and maybe this will help. In 1825 John's father George obtained land in vigo
county according to the tract book 5 of vincennes land officein t-12n,r9w,w1/2s6. In the
1840's he sold the land to Mr. Thralls, who donated it and part of his own land to the
sisters who started a church there. John Smith's farm was east of his fathers.
According to my family records there were two farms owned by Johns brother and sister
that seperated John and georges farm. It also says that John had the first and largest
orchard in the area. I hope this isnt to confusing. Thanks again!
