If I read your information correctly, I believe the land in question is in the named
township of Richland. It contains Township 32 and 33 N. Section 33 is just northeast of
Larwill. You might consider seeking a title search. That would lead you to several
documents in association to the land such as purchase and sale dates, inheritance via a
will or probate records. Some title work is full of genealogy information. Of course,
you can do this work yourself if you go to the courthouse. Recorder's and Clerk's
office will contain these items. If the young girl was under age when she went to live
with a realtive, there might be civil court documents on the matter. You just have to
figure out what county she lived in when she was orphaned.

Of course, the land would of been available for sale before the county was formed as
Whitley co, as a population would need to be in place to vote for a county.
