My gggrandfather Isaac PATTON of Bond County, Illinois purchased land (from Fed. Gov. - per BLM) the NE quarter of the NE quarter of Section 22 in Township 6 of Range 5 in the District of Lands subject to sale at Edwardsville, Illinois containing 40 acres. Signature date from the Land Patent Report was June 10, 1850. How can I get a parcel number for this and a record of subsequent disposition of this land? He was in Otter Creek Twp in Jersey County by the 1870 census. Could this land have been in Jersey County rather than Madison County as listed by BLM? Or did he sell this land and move? Any help is appreciated. Marge mncarr1@juno.com ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
