I am trying to find proof that Alexander Lewis purchased Lot #7 from John Vawter when the town of Vernon was first platted. Is there a Vernon history that would have this? Or any public record of this transaction? I need proof for Indiana Pioneers.

I don’t know if this is enough, but Alexander Lewis is by 7 in a list titled PURCHASERS OF LOTS IN THE TOWN OF VERNON, JENNINGS COUNTY September 7-8, 1815 and June 17, 1817 on page 95 of the Book JEFFERSONVILLE LAND ENTRIES 1808-1818 compiled by Janet C. Cowen.

Karen,
I think this may be exactly what I need. Do you know where I may find a copy of that list? Would the book be in the Jennings County Library?
Thank you very much for this information.
