He had attended school at Farmington and later returned there for added educational advantages, and prior to his 16th year secured collegiate training at Athens, Ohio. When the surveyors were at work on the Marietta & Cincinnati Railroad, the youth secured a position with them as assistant and continued with them for several months, afterward, for a short time becoming a clerk in a mercantile establishment at Van Vert.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 172 pages with 44 total maps Locating original landowners in maps has never been an easy task-until now. This volume in the Family Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners (patent maps) in what is now Van Wert County, Ohio, gleaned from the indexes of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. But it offers much more than that. For each township in the county, there are two additional maps accompanying the patent map: a road map and a map showing waterways, railroads, and both modern and many historical city-centers and cemeteries. Included are indexes to help you locate what you are looking for, whether you know a person's name, a last name, a place-name, or a cemetery. The combination of maps and indexes are designed to aid researchers of American history or genealogy to explore frontier neighborhoods, examine family migrations, locate hard-to-find cemeteries and towns, as well as locate land based on legal descriptions found in old documents or deeds. The patent-maps are essentially plat maps but instead of depicting owners for a particular year, these maps show original landowners, no matter when the transfer from the federal government was completed. Dates of patents typically begin near the time of statehood and run into the early 1900s. What's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . . 2157 Parcels of Land (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map) 39 Cemeteries plus . . . Roads, and existing Rivers, Creeks, Streams, Railroads, and Small-towns (including some historical), etc. What YEARS are these maps for? Here are the counts for parcels of land mapped, by the decade in which the corresponding land patents were issued: DecadeParcel-count 1820s17 1830s753 1840s1005 1850s358 1860s12 1870s9 1890s1 1900s1 1930s1 What Cities and Towns are in Van Wert County, Ohio (and in this book)?
