Thank You for the township info and also the link. The people who take the time to post the newspaper info deserve a BIG thanks. Thank You Susan! Your posted article may have provided a location of a line I had lost track of after 1880. Jane ___ L A Clugh wrote: Jane, Dayton is in Sheffield Township. East of Lafayette on Hwy 38. http://www.rootsweb.com/~intippec/townships.htm There are some neat articles written in the local papers that tell of the news happenings in these little towns around Lafayette. These newspapers are all on microfilm today, unless someone has the original newspapers saved. Thank you Susan for adding these news bits to the list. They do help place our people in a timeline.
