These are pretty neat and on the one from 1882 you can see the Twp numbers that get larger
as they go North. It also shows the survey from the 2nd P.M. and this explains to a person
if the range is either West or East of this or there would be mass confusion with people
thinking the Range 8 is either one and without it there is duplicate land claims! I
appreciate all your help and I just need to figure out the county court for Troy that is
32N-I am pretty sure it was the one above Richland that was 31N. On the first plat map I
did not see Rachel Beal's name on the E1/2SW1/4 of Sec 33 Twp32N of RAnge 8E.S o I can
assume by this date that I am not sure I got the date for the first plat-she no longer
owns it but it was sold sometime after 1838 and before the date of this plat map. I have
other Beals I can say are family that came to Indiana around the same time but mainly in
Blackford county. I believe some of the early settlers sold and moved on though. I have my
work cut out !
trying to figure out records and where they may be. I do have the ones for them in other
counties in Indiana and the cemetery records. Like alot of people you work back from
records you have. I am not sure who this Rachel Beal is but it could be the one I am
researching or her daughter. I just need family records to see children or siblings. So at
least now I know a county and maybe a courthouse to see records then I need to figure out
Newspapers for the time. Thanks again. Cindy
