Thanks, Dana. The dates may prove useful.
What I'm trying to find out is who they bought the land they owned in Sec. 17 (Prairie
Twp) from. I am interested in the people who entered the land in 1836 and received patent
in 1838: Abraham Barr and Abraham Sides. I want to know when Barr/Sides sold it, so I am
working backward from people I know owned it later. I am trying to close the gap.
I offer this summary in case it will help anyone:
Summary of where these names are found:
Barr Sides 1836 land entry: 200 acres
