Indiana Land Entries Vincennes District 1807-1877

Description

Indiana Land Entries. Volume 2: Vincennes District 1807-1877
Author: Waters, Margaret R.
Volume totaling
275
pages. Book is in excellent  condition. Per The  Publisher:
Although described as “Part 1,” this volume of Vincennes District  land records is apparently all that was published. It covers approximately the  central third of the Vincennes District, comprising all of the present counties  of Daviess, Gibson, Knox, Martin, and Pike; and over half of Monroe and  Lawrence. Beginning in 1807 and extending as late as 1877, the records  transcribed here give the names of about 12,000 purchasers of land as well as  the specific location of their land and the date of the record.
Like the first volume of
Indiana  Land Entries,” most descriptions of land are given as east or west of a  principal meridian, and townships are identified as being north or south of the  established base line. Ms. Waters copied the records exactly as they appeared in  the original tract books and in the exact order–by location. Consequently,  researchers may be able to identify other members of the family from nearby  entries. Equally important, these records serve as a partial index to the  1820-1880 Indiana censuses, in that they locate an individual in a definite  township and county.
