Here is a map in Indiana with counties numbered and the number of that county is beside the county name in the listings. I am a fare judge of handwriting of early times but this leaves me in a quandry to be sure. I hope if someone cyphers this out they will post it to the list so I can know what the writing is supposed to be. I have a friend in OR that I will send this to to see if she can make anything from it. I do wish you luck and that they post the results to the list. Beej-Fireflower I see nothing on the map that resembles the writing on the Page in line 16. However Indiana is ledgable and looks like the last two Letters might possisble be Co. but inbetween that is very suspicious. <A HREF="http://165.138.44.13/citytown/INDMAP.HTM">Location of Indiana Counties on the map</A> http://165.138.44.13/citytown/INDMAP.HTM
