CLUE 7, Meeting House Tract - “... bounded by the lands of ... Alexander P. .Jones....” [adjacent to land owned by Bartholomew Jordan in 1826]. The land transactions of Alexander P. Jones were quite numerous in Madison County, according to the indexes to real property at the courthouse. It appears that there was most likely a “senior” and a “junior” by the same name, considering the lengthy period of transactions recorded under the name. However, it was obviously the “senior” who had land around the holdings of Bartholomew Jordan. A review of the known holdings of Bartholomew Jordan helps to select those holdings of Alexander P. Jones that would “bound” the Meeting House Tract relative to Jordan holdings and in conjunction with the lands of Samuel Ward per the previous clue. All of the parcels of land known to have been owned by Bartholomew Jordan were entirely within Sections 4, 8, and 9 of Township 4 South and Range 1 West, as shown in the section maps above for Sections 4 and 8 and below for Section 9: 33 - (3187)
