Mick, I believe the Eskew lived close to the Johnson County boarder since I have a Ralph Eskew born in Johnson County. Somewhere I have a copy of a very old plat map.

I just found my old plat map. There is a Joe Eskew and a G. W. Eskew listed in the same area. They are on a plat map T. 13S Webster/Columbus/Washington/Monroe. Their farms are straight West of Rock and North. Northwest of Dixon Springs, very close to the Johnson County line. From a main map, their farms were south of Glendale and North of Dixon Springs, almost half way and just to the West. Susan
