I have been told that the land grants given in Owen County and Clay County had used up most of the land by then, and when family came here to join others, they had to move on to try to find land for themselves. The word was that there was land further west so many families had no choice but to keep moving in that direction. bass103@juno.com wrote: > noticed several families came to Owen co but only recently discovered > some moved on to Missouri and Iowa. > On Fri, 18 Aug 2000 00:10:14 -0700 "R.
