1848 Land Transfer Book

The Morrow County Genealogical Society has reproduced the Original 1848 Land Transfer Book. In order to preserve this book,
each page has been professional photographed. Faded lines/ names on each page have been read by magnifying glass and the name inserted in book by page number. Many resources have been added to the book to help in research such as: 1848 Map; history of old towns and townships,range, section information, road names, road numbers etc.

Morrow County was taken from parts of four other counties: Delaware, Knox, Marion and Richland Counties; thus, names and locations in the book were originally in another county.

This is a 167 page spiral bound book, printed on 11 x 17 paper. (Ledger paper size) It is twice the size of a normal book.

1850 Morrow County Census Records

Prior to 1848, Morrow County did not exist. Land was taken from four surrounding counties to create Morrow County. Thus the expression “From Four Came One”.

Through the efforts of Jane Peppler and Sandra Oty, the complete 1850 Census for Morrow County has been transcribed
and typed into a format for easy research. With their permission, and the additional assistance of
Sandra Oty, Nancy Heimlich, and Betty Meier, the Morrow County Genealogical Society has published these
transcriptions in four (4) volumes. Each volume covers one of the four parent counties and contains the
census data for the townships that were originally in that county.

It was thought by the compiler (Betty Meier), that these folks were lost during the census periods as this home was not only for the poor, but also the sick and afflicted. (It was almost a hospital). Often times the Morrow County Home was their last home. These records show where most of these folks moved upon their discharge, or where they were buried . For example: a father from Indiana brought his son, a child, to an orphanage in Cleveland.
