Q 1818, April 18 Ohio land documents: On 29 Sept. 1817, Alfred Wolcott, surveyor, drew up a map of 8 parcels of land totaling 1300 acres. A copy of this map was made 18 April 1818 for William Robinson of Southington Ct. who had purchased lots 1, 2, 7, 8, totaling 636.43 acres, at $5. per lot from Linius Tuttle.
