Yes, I'm still confused, but hopefully, beginning to make some sense of this. <g> The legal description of at least one 1837 purchase of land for my Jacob RISTER, says (i hope this is right): Section 24, 2N/8E. Which, to me....Looks like it's in Elm Township on the western border of Erie, and just northeast of Elm Creek. Can anyone confirm this or correct me? I'm all over this Wayne County map! TIA! Kin
