I have been reading through the land records of Clay Co, looking for familiar names. On 23 Aug 1843, William Cole Jr and wife Elizabeth of Barbour Co, VA, sell to Uriah modesitt of Clay Co for $300, two tracts of land in Clay Co: NE 1/4 SE 1/4 Sec 21 T 12 N R 7W and N 1/2 SW1/4 Sec 22 T12 N, R7 W. Both tracts were patented to William Cole Jr of Clay Co on 1 Aug 1839. So it appears to me that if William Cole, Jr, had lived in Clay Co, he had returned to Barbour Co by 1843. Does anyone know if they later returned to Indiana? Or any member of his family? Does William Jr appear in any census in Clay Co? I am trying to track the family of William and Nancy Luther Cole, not same as this William. Note that Uriah Modesitt was the brother-in-law of William Cole Jr, having married Johannah Cole.
