Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for help with land deeds. Thought I would pass along this tip: "In the lower left corner of most old deeds you will find two to four witnesses. The first one is always from the husband's side, the next two from the wife's side. That is to protect her one-half dower rights under the law. Nothing you will ever use will give greater clues to maiden names". I hope this holds true in Licking County!! Peggy
