It is listed on the 1850 census next to my gggrandfather's name. Also in Blanchard's history of Union Township he writes: "Union Township occupies the southeast corner of Howard County and comprises thirty-one and a half square miles of territory bordering on Grant County on the east, and Tipton County on the south. Liberty and Jackson Townships on the north, and Taylor Township on the west. It was originally included in the territory of Green Township, and was set off as a distinct division at the March term, 1853, of the Board of County Commissioners. ...." That settles that!
