The list of county officers on the Logan web site is prior to 1878. Plat Books are published periodically, not sure how often. They are still published. We always had one. They tell who the actual owner is for all farm land in the county as well as provide maps and such. Did you note the year of the book you found? That would give you a better clue. You are talking fairly recently in the grand scope of things. If someone here has a copy of the Stringer history I'd ask that they see if there is a David Mowrey listed. I figure though, given the birthdate you have, it would be 1930 or later before he would be Clerk. Cheryl Rothwell clrothwell@mindspring.com
