There was an 1868 plat map for Grant County Wisconsin. If he farmed it is likely his name would be listed on the Boscobel page of the plat book. I have copies of some of the 1868 but not Boscobel. I got my copies from Helen Jentz of the Grant County Genealogical Society. I believe her address is 955 Williams St. Platteville WI 53818. 2. A number of years ago the Southwest Wisconsin Area Research Center at the Wisconsin Room of The UW-Platteville's Karrmann Library microfilmed many church records from Grant and surrounding counties. This was a voluntary project so not every church participated. You may want to write to the Wisconsin Room, Karrmann Library, UW-Platteville, Platteville, WI 53818 and enquire if the church records you seek happened to have been microfilmed.
