Thank you Carole, I sent for all the John Berry deeds in Fairfield Co.,to try to pinpoint where in Fairfield Co the land deed was transacted.So far I can draw no conclusion which John Berry in any of the Twps I recieved deeds on is the right one .I am trying the process of elimination in finding the right John Berry.I have also sent for the index on any land deals Abraham Bobp made in hopes of finding the right John Berry .It looks like Abraham was into real estate,I can so far draw no conclusion this way either.I have started to realize the way letters were made back them gives a novice like me a throw,I have printed your e-mail out for future referrences on the letter s every thing helps I found in searching for an ancester.Thank you.

The name "Bobp" turned up nothing so I checked anyone with the first name of "Abraham". There was an Abraham Buss in Liberty Township in the 1830 census. In the old handwriting when "ss" was written, it looked liked todays "ps", "fs", "bs", etc. "Buss" could be easily read as Bobs or Bops or Bopb or ad infinitum by someone not familiar with old style writing. Hope this helps.
