Selected Early Land Claims
I have chosen a variety of different areas within Owen county.
No one area in particular; using the land patent office as a basis for the information
I was able to view a listing of neighbors. When these lands were signed up for or "claimed"
they were assigned a location using numbers for township, range and section designations.
Owen County was comprised of Townships 9, 10, 11, and 12; these were numbered north to south.
The Ranges ran east and west and Owen County contained Ranges 3, 4, 5, 6.
I have broken these into Township listings as best as I can. Please don't think
these are all of them, only a small selection. I am hoping to be able to provide at some information
for a few persons, I cannot gain all of them but will do an assorted.
