Yes, land purchased in the 1840's would have gone through Vincennes. I have a book:
Family Maps of Vigo County, Indiana and I find a William DONHAM; in Section 18 Township
11N Range 8-W. Patient date 1837. Also a Sarah DONHAM same year next to his lot. (William
Donham was issued a patient within a group of 25 families but not all the names are
listed)
Other DONHAM's listed: Robert & Johnathan S.
Other Surnames listed in this book are: DENHAM, DOUHAM, & DUNCAN.
I realize the spelling is different but thought it might be a connection.
Also there are 2 cemeteries listed; the Donham and Durham. I am familiar with the Donham
Cemeterey and it contains very few graves.
I hope this helps. Best Wishes
BJ
