I discovered that the township boundaries have changed over the years, like most places in the USA. The map legend states that in 1821 the following townships were organized: > Highland, Richland, Burlingame, Plummer, and Stafford. Today [map date is 1965] the old HIGHLAND township consists of present day Highland, plus territory now covered by Eel River, Jefferson, Smith and Wright townships. RICHLAND consisted of present day Richland, plus Fairplay, Grant & Stockton townships. BURLINGAME made up present day Jackson, Center, & Beech Creek townships. PLUMMER consisted of present day Cass & Taylor townships. STAFFORD consisted of present day Stafford & Washington townships. So depending on the census year, the townships might be different than we know today. Anyone else have any more current than 1965 info on the townships??? > > Here's a good Greene County, Indiana site, too, if you don't already know abou it: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ingreene/ > Also see: > http://www.rootsweb.com/~ingreene/cemetery.htm > > > > > > > > > ==== INGREENE Mailing List ==== > To unsubscribe from the list send your message to <INGREENE-L-request@rootsweb.com> for individual list messages; <INGREENE-D-request@rootsweb.com> for digest messages.
