Tract Book of Entry, transcribed by Janice Stucky and Nadine Miller in 2009, is an index to the names of people who first owned land in Jay County.
They purchased directly from the government. It is a reference to books in the Recorder’s office at the courthouse. The index includes the following: township, section, acres, land description, and purchase date. Patent deeds before 1837 will probably be in Allen County, as that is where the land office was located.
