The land described in this deed was in Madison County at the time of the deed but in subsequent years other counties were formed from Madison. I believe range 13 is in Jersey County. I ll try to look when I get to a Jersey plat book, Mine is out "on loan". Does the death notice give any other names or mention a town?
