Greetings, Must apologize for an error in my recent post. (Also sorry I hadn't included a proper subject line.) I had mentioned a piece of property in range 13, but actually the land is in RANGE EIGHT. We are looking forward to visiting Madison County in the very near future, and will hope to find the exact piece of land ("patent") that had belonged to my g/g/g/grandfather, ZENAS WEBSTER. The description is as follows: "east half of southeast quarter of secion 34 in township 6 (north) of range 8 (west)......." which we believe to be fairly close to Edwardsville. Zenas Webster died in his home on that property on May 14, 1844 - in his 58th year, and must have been buried nearby. Sadly we have not been able to locate his gravesite, and hope someone may be able to help? Seeking any information in regard to the above property - which was held in common with one SPROUT W. PADDOCK. Are there any Paddock descendants still living in Madison County today? Warm wishes to all, Dotte Schneider Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri
