Can anyone on the list tell me why so many families left Hawkins county, TN and went to IN? Seems many did same. Still searching for SAR members wherever they went.

The Government was opening land offices to distribute the lands of the Northwest Territory, and the Louisiana Purchase. Usually 160 acre parcels by cash sale or to Veterans by Grant. This encouraged populations to fill the area and created the base for government and management of the lands. Jeff (Three USGenWeb counties in Indiana) -- Jeffery G.
