(If you don't get Missing Links from Rootsweb, maybe this will help you) I recently located the full title history of Lot #15, Fischer Highlands, property formerly owned by my parents in Johnson County, Kansas. The transcript contains information that would lead a researcher to the originals in deed book 56, page 392, and provides a great example of the genealogical material waiting to be found in those old deed books and title abstracts. Granted to a member of the Shawnee tribe, Che-ti-ton-kwa, head of a family consisting of himself and No-tah-wah, were certain tracts of land described as: "The south half of the southwest quarter of Section one (80 acres), the south half of the southeast quarter of section one (80 acres), the northwest quarter of the northwest quarter of Section Twelve (40 acres) in township twelve south of range twenty-four east, the northwest quarter of section eleven (40 acres) . . . total of 382.36 acres." On Nov. 22, 1858, 40 acres of this land was sold to Milton P. RANDALL by Che-ten-qua, a female who signed by mark. Book A, p. 415. On Feb. 25, 1860, Che-ti-ton-kwa, who signed by mark, sold another 40 acres to Milton P. RANDALL. Book 57, p. 371. Graham ROGERS and Eli BLACKHOFF are mentioned and described as "two of the regular chiefs of the Shawnee Tribe of Indians." Graham ROGERS signed and Eli BLACKHOFF signed with a mark. The U.S. Indian Agent who signed was B. J. NEWSON. The interpreter was Charles BLUEJACKET. Payment was made in gold coin. Mary Jane RANDALL, daughter of Milton P. RANDALL and Eliza, and her siblings William P. RANDALL and Juliann RANDALL inherited the land. Milton P. RANDALL died 11 October 1864, Eliza died on 24 October 1898, and Juliann RANDALL died without issue on 16 April 1880. The two remaining, Mary Jane RANDALL and William P. RANDALL, transferred part of this property to William HOLMES in 1879, Jacob DUFFNER in 1871, and other individuals. The divorce of Jacob DUFFNER and his wife Pauline is included because the land was part of the settlement. A court case about a portion of the land involved H. C. HARDING. Others involved in 1871 were John CAPTAIN and Henry WEDD. Other names and court cases related to this property include: William W. JEWETT, Francis A. GOODENOUGH and his wife Anna GOODENOUGH, William P. BRADLEY, S. H. BRADFORD (later typed as RADFORD), William KAUFMAN, Peter MEYERS, and a foreclosure in 1894-1895. The property continued to change hands and be divided into smaller pieces, going to Mary FISHER (Fisher Subdivision) and R. W. HOCKER of Jackson County, Missouri (property is located near Hocker Drive), David B. JOHNSON (the next street south of Hocker Drive is Johnson Drive). Mary FISHER married James F. WILLIAMSON and sold part of the land to Lewis F. FISHER. Lewis FISHER was married to Cecil. Another part went to their son, Benjamin W. FISHER. The land was subdivided as Fisher Highlands and restrictions were placed on it by Nellie L. FISHER in 1946. Nellie L. FISHER is described as a widow on Nov. 12, 1946. The land passed on to Jack E. and his wife Virginia REVARD; to John T. BARNARD and wife Clara L. in 1949; and to John Houston CROMAN and wife, Virginia Marie, in 1951.
