That is the area presently in Delaware Township and is in northwest portion of Jefferson Co. I find no record of death or burial in Jefferson Co. records. Official death records did not begin until 1911, so deaths prior to that are from tombstone record, cemetery records, obituaries, etc. Some are obviously missed in that situation. I also checked Jefferson Co. probate records and origional land records and land ownership map of 1876. The Kansas census records for 1865 and 1875 do not show either the Poorman nor Dugan surnames. The burial records for Jackson Co. (adjacent to the west) do not list any Poorman surnames either. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
