Commentary:
Although we find this record with the Ohio County Recorder in Rising Sun, Indiana, it was clearly authored in Pope County, Illinois by the clerk for that county's circuit court. The lines at the bottom of document which carry the September 1853 dates were added when it arrived at the Ohio County Recorder. Henry B. Newman was the Ohio County Recorder from 1851 to 1855 [1].
