Boundary line dispute between Ohio and Indiana a century ago
A long excerpt discusses a disputed boundary between Ohio and Indiana based on an 1800s survey. It covers how traders influenced early lines, the resulting twelve mile east drift, potential effects on Richmond Union City and Decatur, and Fort Wayne. It also cites opinions by Gov. Hayes and Union City lawyer John M. Smith about Supreme Court precedents on settled boundaries and acquiescence.
