Early Land Entries
The following list is
compiled from various sources including the
“History of Logan County,
Illinois Vol.1” by Lawrence B. Stringer
Pioneer Publishing Company,
Chicago, 1911
Names are only entered
once in the year the first entry was made, even if there were subsequent land
entries. At the time of the land entry, many of the townships had not yet been
formed, but eventually all these land entries were incorporated into Mt.
Pulaski, Logan County, Illinois. As you can see from the chart below, most of
the land purchases were made in the years 1835, 1836 and 1837.
