Hello, Dee: I went to Ancestry Com and cut and pasted the below information. I checked my source. Although, I have seen the microfilm of the original document at the Fort Wayne, IN, library. I can't figure it out. I don't think my grandfather moved. I think the County Line moved. He settled in Point Isabel, IN, which is in Grant County, Greene TSP. But in 1850, the census has him in Howard County, Greene TSP. I have tried to find out if the County Line moved, but I have not been able to discover any information.
