Subject: ANOTHER NEW BOOK FOR 'LOOKUPS'...
Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2005 14:05:04 -0500


Hi All: I have also acquired the book 'INDIANA LAND ENTRIES' - volume 1,
Cincinnati District; 1801-1840 by Margaret R. Waters.

This first book contains the records of the Cincinnati District. The area
covered is mainly a district known as the "wedge" or "gore", located in the
southeastern part of the state and bounded roughly by the Ohio-Indiana State
Line, the Ohio River, and the Greenville Treaty Line. The territory
comprises all of the present counties of Ohio, Dearborn, Union, and Wayne;
most of Switzerland, Fayette, Franklin, and Randolph; and a tine section of
Jay. Some entries in the region are given in the Indianapolis District.

These records have been copied solely for genealogical purposes to enable a
searcher to learn if an ancestor DID locate in Indiana; if so, WHERE and
WHEN. . . .In copying the records I have done so exactly as they appear in
the originals -- by location. By this, searchers may be able to identify
other members of the family from nearby entries made by people of the same
surname; also there is the possibility of a clue to neighboring families
into which daughters might have married.

-- Margaret R. Waters.

*My note: This is very nicely indexed, which makes it much easier to do
lookups. Again -- no fishing expeditions.. (smile).
