Alphabetical index for the above plot that includes all the Land Owners by Last Name, Middle Name(s), Legal Description, Section # (and Tract # within each Section), # of Acres, Date Purchased, County or State of Purchaser, and occasional comments. Contributed by Robert E. Ford. Bob used Deed Plotter+ (DP+) to plot the tracts for the original IL Public Domain tract sales to Patentees for that part of Township 9, Range 11 that is located within Jersey County, then numbered the tracts in each section and added the Patentees name and the year the tract was acquired from the U.S. Government.
