Description

Josiah Hedges (founder of Tiffin) writes to Finley (missionary to Wyandot Mission) concerning a land squabble he is having with Mr. Spencer (Jesse Spencer). Hedges has been compelled to buy Mr. Spencer out in order to avoid a lawsuit or loss of his gristmill. [The property Hedges is trying to buy is part of the acreage granted by the U.S. government to Robert Armstrong in 1817, later sold to Jesse Spencer. The heirs of Robert Armstrong are living at the Wyandot Mission.] Hedges is checking to make sure that the title from Spencer is a good title. He asks Finley to check with the heirs of Mr. Armstrong to determine whether the family has any claims to the land. If so, they need to notify Hedges immediately. Abstract Number - 44
