I know very little about land records, and am wondering if any of those listed would be in Richfield Township, Adams County. Also, is the issue date the date that the land was purchased? I can place my Wm Henry Stansbury and his wife Semira in Richfield, Adams County in the 1850 census, which has him recorded as owning land. I know he left IL about 1855 and settled in WI. I am hoping to find the land description of the land he was living on in the 1950 census and then to find the records of how he disposed of the land when he moved. The land they are recorded on in the 1850 census is listed right next to land ownded by his wife's brother Oscar Leach. If by chance the land was owned by his wife could it be listed in her name, Semira Leach Brown Stansbury? Any help is greatly appreciated.
