And, if any of you have plat maps, prior to 1944, and would like to share them, let me know!  These maps can be a GREAT resource for land deeds when doing research & trying to locate those elusive relatives.  The "key" at the bottom lists landowner & acreage if known.  ENJOY!


The following are the names (and acreage, if known) of the farms/homes from the above map. Lessor Township is divided into 36 sections and these are grouped together, just like they are on the map.
