Wolcott claim to Fort Wayne land disputed by local experts
Local authorities argue the Wolcott claim on Fort Wayne real estate rests on a mislocated Wells reserve land. They contend the disputed tract lies in Salamonio township Huntington County, not within Fort Wayne, and that Wells bought land at the St. Marys and St. Joseph rivers, with subsequent divisions by heirs. The case hinges on historic patent dates and county boundaries, with no clear impact on current Fort Wayne property owners.
