In Early Land Records of Wayne County, Ohio by Richard Smith I see that your (?) Thomas Watson bought school lands in Prairie Twp not far from my Camerons, Millers and Adams families. This is how the line reads. Mr. Smith had his own type of shorthand that makes us wish he was still living so we could ask what it means. frse16D 19 acr Watson, Thomas Reports 1836-65, Price 305 Deed date 1846 Assigner George Hites. In the drawing of this section 16 twp 13 range 13 shows this 19 acres in the southeast qtr being D. The southern border is along the Greenville Treaty Line. There is also a Thomas who in 23 May 1815 bought Sne4 T15 R13 86 acres. this looks to have been a part of downtown Wooster maybe.
