Jay County Land Ownership, 1874

These are the names of some of the landowners of Penn, Knox, Greene, and Jackson townships in Jay County, Indiana as of 1874. The names and acreage figures were taken from a map published in that year by A. L. Kingman and Assistants, a reprint of which I purchased at the Jay County court house. I concentrated on Penn Township, but included some names from the other townships that bordered Penn.
