I am a member of the Lenawee County Family Researchers, our local genealogy\u00a0group up here in Lenawee Co, MI just north of the state line from your\u00a0neighbor county of Fulton Co, OH. I write genealogical research articles for\u00a0the LCFR newsletter, and this summer I wrote one on my ancestors William &\u00a0Catherine (Cole) Walker, which I intended to attach, but your contact format\u00a0will not permit me to do so. William & Catherine were married in 1851 in\u00a0Bedford, MI, just north of the state line from Toledo. Both were shown as\u00a0residents of Toledo at that time. In the 1860 Federal Census, they were\u00a0shown as residents of Washington Twp, Henry Co, OH. (The death record for\u00a0one of their sons states that he was born in Colton, which is in the NW\u00a0corner of Washington Twp). By the 1870 Federal Census, they were living up\u00a0here in Seneca Twp, Lenawee Co, MI. The assumption is that sometime between\u00a01851 and 1860, they bought a farm in the Colton area, which they in turn\u00a0sold between 1860 and 1870. My question is, how would I go about getting the\u00a0land record – either a transcription or a photocopy of the original record –\u00a0for the purchase and sale of their farm in Colton? By the way, you can add\u00a0William Walker to your list of Henry Co soldiers who served in the Civil War\u00a0if he is not already on it, as he served in Co. A of the 192nd Ohio\u00a0Volunteer Infantry, Hancock’s Vet. A.C. Any response on how to access the\u00a0old land records would be appreciated.
