Eldred Rawlins, who married a Lanier (see the Summary Report on the Rawlins - Lanier Cemetery, 37 - 4) took the Southwest Quarter of Section 25 on the same date that Elijah Boardman got his land. Isaac Inman (see the Summary Report for the Emeline - Inman Cemetery, 62 - 1) took land in adjacent Section 26. 4 - (2273)
