Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HU.2ADI/1615 Message Board Post: My ggggrandfather, Hugh G. Chisholm, (according to Bureau of Land Management web site) had 3 land patents from 1835 to 1837... coordinates are: SWSE Section/Block 7, Township 9N, Range 9E NWSW Section/Block 18, Township 9N, Range 9E NW Section/Block 18, Township 9N, Range 9E Would this be in the Beatrice area? How far is Old Scotland be from Beatrice? Does anyone have any info. about the families in these areas? What about the Old Scotland Presbyterian Church and its members? Hugh had land patents in Monroe Cty... but I haven't been able to locate him on a census. However, there's a Daniel, Thomas, and a John Chisholm who all owned land in Monroe County and they ARE listed on the 1840 census. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Mae
