Normally, it would be posted to queries, but since they are down right now - A big thank you to Rollie Littlewood <rklittle@facstaff.wisc.edu> who answered this reply.

Does anyone have any idea what county this would be today?... Reply from Rollie Littlewood <rklittle@facstaff.wisc.edu>: This is in Wood County today--I believe in Rudolph Township. Mineral Point is where the land office was, not where the land itself was.
