Research Notes:

1843 Abraham Worline 2d, Margaret Ann Elliott, and Adam Branizer and wife Jane R. sold land to Christian Black on February 4. The tract was in Delaware County, Range 19, Township 6, United States MIlitary. The tract was adjacent to lands of Cone, W. T. Sharp, Black, and Worline. [33]

1850 Eve Brenizer sold an acre of land in Morrow County, Ohio to Ruth Ann Brown, witnessed by Adam Wolfe, Lester Bartlett, and John C Brenizer (perhaps a grandson, son of Jacob). Deed dated February 6. The tract was in Section 19, Range 18, Township 7, adjacent to lands of Samuel Foust and Timothy Aldrich. Lester Bartlett had deeded the 1 acre tract to Eve Brenizer as recorded in Delaware County deed 22-272. This is inconsistent with the date of death recorded here. Perhaps there was a daughter Eve or one of the dates is wrong. [35] [36]
