Any chance of scanning and emailing this Land Patent Map as an attachment to our list participants? Judy Gordon

It's from a copyrighted book and I'm not sure what the legalities would be of putting it on the web that way. In fact there are a whole series of books our library is just getting in that have these maps in them. I only copied those patents in Putnam Co, IN for the surnames Moss, Wright, Poyner and Scott, some Loves are included because of their proximity to the others. Since it's only a few pages I can legally send those few pages to individuals,(those of you who have requested what I have check your email boxes later today) but I'm not sure about posting them on the web. For all of you doing Putnam County, IN research I highly recommend trying to see a copy of this book. The title is FAMILY MAPS OF PUTNAM CO., IN, DELUXE ED. by Gregory A. Boyd, JD Arphax Publishing Co. call #r 929.3772 49 B 692F2005 If your library doesn't have it try interlibrary loan or put in a request that they get it. (I have no connection to this book what so ever) It is well laid out. In the very front of the book it has all of the listed surnames that are included in the book, it tells you how many patents there were for that surname. Another section breaks it down by surnames, with first names and tells you what map they are on. Then you go to that map and it breaks it down by exactly what section they are in on the map and gives the legal description (handy if you should ever want to check the abstracts out in states like AR and OK that require abstracts, more on this in a minute). It also shows if here are patents in other counties at this point. Once you go to the map and locate your person there it shows you when the patent was and who all their neighbors were. Example my Benjamin Poyner, which is why I even picked this book up. The listing showed he was on map group 3 in section 11 with no other counties listed. When I find him in section 11 it shows POYNER, Benjamin 1837 he is near the center of the section. Surrounding him in the section PLUNKITT, William, 1838, STEWART, Hiram 1848, BLEDSOE, Jefferson T. 1834 RILEY, Patrick 1832 and 1834, BARNARD, Abner 1833, MOSS, Ransom 1837, CARMAN, Isacc 1837, STEELE, Henry 1838, LOVE, Lyman (2) 1837, and COX, CARTER 1837. Because the map group has several sections on each page I can quickly see other family members in adjoining sections like Benjamin POYNER's son is in section 12 and his brother is in Section 10. It is very helpful to see the land laid out this way to understand how close in proximity family members and potential spouses were to each other. complete with a legend/key that gives you a scale reference to see how big their property actually was. There are also over all maps that show you where this particular map group was in Putnam County. All in all a very interesting and informative book. Apparently they are putting out an entire series of these books for all the states because our Tulsa, OK genealogy library has many of them and seems to be ordering more in constantly. I know there are ones on AR, and a few other states so far. Now about abstracts, it's a shame all states don't require them because they are a wealth of genealogical information. Anything and everything that has legal ramifications on the property must be included in an abstract. This means deaths, divorces, marriages, wills, etc. Abstracts are public domain, you just have to find where the abstract is stored which can be a bit tricky sometimes. Generally they are held at an abstract company in a town near where the land is. Sometimes you can find out at a court house where the abstract is, but not generally. Sometimes it's held by an individual. I know I had ours for awhile on two different pieces of property. VERY interesting reading. BTW Indian lands are included in the abstract law because both pieces I held had been Indian land at one time. Sorry, about not being able to post those pages on the web, but I think we'd have to have some sort of special permission to do so and since the copyright on it is just 2005 I doubt they'd give it right now. Jan who will gladly scan and send what she has to the individuals who asked for them in OK.

Judy, Sorry, Rootsweb.com will not accept attachments. It might be accomplished by doing attachments to the individuals who are interested but not to the list itself.
