Jean, This is a quote from "Early Settlers of Indiana's "Gore" 1803-1820" by Shirley Keller Mikesell: === "The Indiana Territory was formed in 1800 with the division of the Northwest Territory. At that time, Ohio's western boundary was the Greenville Treaty Line of 1795. When Ohio became a state in 1803 and its present western boundary was established, a wedge of land was ceded to the Indiana Territory and named Dearborn County. It became known as the "Gore". The county seat at Lawrenceburg was the primary repository for records concerning the inhabitants. Subdivision of Dearborn Co. began in 1811 with the formation of Franklin and Wayne counties, followed by Switzerland in 1814. The "Gore" area slices through the present-day counties of Dearborn, Franklin, Ohio, Randolph, Switzerland, Union and Wayne." === There was a court house fire in Dearborn County in 1826. But, I will put your information on my list to look for in Dearborn County on my next trip. I did notice two marriages in Franklin County which may be of interest to you, though: Fletcher, Eliza Jane to Price, John 9-29-1837 Fletcher, Rebecca Ann to Kay, John 1-16-1840 Good luck in your search, Ruth Cox Schlemmer
