---

According to the INDEX TO LANDS, Caroline sold the NW/4 of Section 25 to Orville M. Hundley. Orville is also shown as a nearby “Head of Household” in the 1860 census page above. Moreover, he is further discussed in the Summary Report for the Clark Cemetery, 65-2. After Orville, the land came under the ownership of Jacob and John Hertzler (1870s). The Hertzlers were pioneers of the town of Madison also. One of the old mansions along Front Street in Madison is the old Hertzler house. After the Hertzlers, the land was owned by Thomas J. & Robert A. McClelland (1881), then passing to Octavia Wiggins in 1885. Octavia was the wife of Richard Wiggins, as shown by the marriage index record below, downloaded from the Madison County Records Center website. Wiggins, Richard A. Bass, Octavia A. Vol. 5 p. 290 14 Jan 1867 Richard Wiggins was a son of James Wiggins, who had a plantation on what is now the east side of Wall Triana Highway and south of Martin Road. The old Wiggins family cemetery is there, behind what was once the Chrysler complex, now owned by Siemens. Octavia Wiggins sold the land to W. T. Duncan and Jackson Rand in 1886. The census records for them do not show either of them as living on the pre-arsenal land. W. T. Duncan lived in the Maysville area, and Jackson Rand lived in Huntsville, but he was listed as a “Farmer” by occupation. 26 - (2324)
