If anyone happens to be doing any reaearch at the Calhoun Co Recorders Office I wonder if it would be possible for you to check the Deed Book Index and see if there may have been any land transactions by BENJAMIN BABCOCK during the years of 1844 - 1860 ? Possibly in the Township of Sheridan. I would be happy to pay for the cost of copying the documents if anything is found. Thank you, Mike Gillmore
