Wording of the deed copied by Rynning…for True account. The earliest recorded purchasers of land in Beaverville township and the Middleport townships (from Iroquois county original land purchases 1831-1882, by R.D. Moore and V. N. Moore, 1977). "Using county property transfer records, I was able to find some, but only a very few, records of their land purchases in the area. It is probable that most of them were lost when the US government transferred "unsold swampland" to the states in 1850. The first recorded purchasers of the Beaver Creek land are largely French settlers who arrived in the min-1850s." – communication from Larson (May 3, 1996) to Odd S. Lovoll.
