The range will tell you how far east or west. In Ozaukee County, Belgium Township is T12 North, Range 22-23 East. The village of Belgium is located in parts of sections 14,15,16,21,22 and 23 of Township 12. Looking at the letter I would put the author directly West of Belgium Township. Maybe the writer meant NW of Milwaukee because NE would be in the middle of lake Michigan.<G> Also, keep in mind that the county of Ozaukee did not exist in 1846. According to my information it was made from Washington County in 1853. Originally I thought it was made from the North part of Milwaukee County but I was incorrect. Hope this helps clear things up a little bit. If I had a plat map west of the one that I have, I could pitpoint the authors location. If anyone has access to one, maybe they can look it up. It would have been in Washington County I believe. Happy Hunting, Karen De Groote-Johnson --------------1DD60E0B1EF1813EC1304495--
