Columbus, with dates ranging from 1801 to 1870s. Areas covered include land in
Southeast Ohio, Congressional Lands, Ohio River Survey, Ohio Company Purchase
(see map of Ohio below) ... School lands to 1913 in some cases as school boards
sold them when they needed funds to operate and build schools.
