The Illinois Public Land Purchase Records database shows the following purchase of land: 18 January 1836 Charles Ward in Fulton County, Illinois (SESE Section 36 Township 4 North West Range 1 East 4th Meridian pubic land purchased - Federal Sale) 4000 acres @ 125 for a total of $5,000 (NESE Section 33 Township 6 North West Range 2 East 4th Meridian pubic land purchased - Federal Sale) 4000 acres @ 125 for a total of $5,000 How can I find out when and to whom this property was later sold and by whom? Would appreciate any help. Thanks, Carl W. Ward
