N.B.-- ACORD: This family has lived in Fremont county longer than most any other. Just a reminder--for you can find some details in postings about it here on Rootsweb by SEARCHing "Acord"-- that they were living here under Fremont's first governmental organization, which was known as Neatawah Territory, an attached portion of Buchanan county, Missouri. (Neatawah Territory was in turn a part of what was called The Nishnabotna Country, a strip of country along the Missouri river.) In 1841, Fremont county was part of Nishnabotna township, Holt county, Missouri. In 1845, Fremont county became a part of Nishnabotna township, Atchison county, Missouri. In 1849, the Atchison County Court ordered that all records pertaining to Fremont county, Iowa, should be turned over to that county.......And don't forget that the top half of Fremont county was Potawatomie Indian Country from 1837 to 1846. You can also find information about ACORD by getting on Google and typing in their SEARCH space "Jacob Acord" (keep the quotation marks for your Search).
