Aleise, Thank you for the offer to do a Plat Map look-up. Does your map show a parcel of land in south end of Wingville or north end of Clifton township owned by Michael Steel/Amelia Wachtler about 1860?

The closest I find on the 1918 map is 160 acres in Sections 30 and 31 of Wingville Township owned by B. L. Walker and 240 acres in Section 30 of Wingville Township owned by Thos. Watchorn Jr. There is also 240 acres in Sections 29, 30 & 31 of Wingville Township owned by W. A. Walter. In Clifton Township there is a U. W. Walter who owns 160 acres in sections 5, 6 & 8.
