You have the legal description of the land. What can't you find? Perhaps find the local abstractor and see if he can find it for you. According to this map those coordinates are not in Athens County but in Chesterhill. Do you know when Athens County was formed? <br />http://ngmdb.usgs.gov/img4/ht_icons/Browse/OH/OH_Chesterhill_224397_1906_62500.jpg<br /> Find the town of Broadwell. The T7N and T6N are right on the R12W line. This happens to be a 1906 map. The townships are not in the typical 36 township format. I haven't taken the time to really look at other maps but if you want to discuss this with me I will try to be more help. Do you know how to read the plat map coordinates? <br /><br /> 1/2 of 1/2 of 3/4 of Section No 23: of the 3/4 of Sec. 23, they are saying he owns 1/4 of the 3/4. These directions don't say N,S,E, or W so I don't know if this is the right township since it's T North and R West. It's possible your legal description is T South and/or R East but it's not clear. <br />More maps: <br />http://www.oldmapsonline.org/?utm_source=Copy+of+April+9%2C+2015+newsletter&utm_campaign=Growing+Pains&utm_medium=email/en/Ohio#bbox=-82.298476,39.18056000000001,-81.7218080032037,39.556574&q=&date_from=0&date_to=9999&scale_from=&scale_to=Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13256855136448978468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-29395010555036317302015-10-16T13:25:39.599-07:002015-10-16T13:25:39.599-07:00Thanks for your comments Wendy!

Anyway, about Moses, I've seen several family trees on Ancestry.com that have Moses' date of death in 1881. But, I need to verify that before I believe it.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-19828429169160792322015-10-16T13:18:56.246-07:002015-10-16T13:18:56.246-07:00Hmm.

In the petition I shared it seems William's guardian was not technically representing him because the petiton says "Guardian of Wm Wesley Rardin vs Wm Wesley Rardin (a minor)" and that no person came to represent the Defendant (William). I don't really understand that. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-28983419611814194422015-10-15T08:01:46.268-07:002015-10-15T08:01:46.268-07:00Interesting.

I would guess that William's father was dead; otherwise, there should not have been a reason for a guardian unless, of course, Moses was insane or otherwise incapacitated. One reason to sell the land could be that they did not live close to the inherited land. Also as a minor, he probably could not farm the land or make improvements on it whereas selling it would allow the guardian to invest the money more profitably.
