My guess is that he leased the land he was living on. The only other suggestion I have is to not some of his neighbours who appear in both the 1850 & 1860 Census, and let us search the deeds for them. Sorry we were not more successful. If we can do anything else for you, please let us know. Cordially, Neal Thompson Gardner Genealogy Division Assistant Stark County District Library 6 January 1998 Dear Ms. Hodgson, Thank you for your E-mail of 30 December 1997. Enclosed are copies of the Stark County, Ohio Deed Index and Stark County, Ohio Range Books. The Deed Index copy shows the purchase of land by John Shilling from Edward Griffin in 1827 in Section 25, Range #10, Twp #12 (Tuscarawas Twp). The Range Book copies sit side-by-side and show purchases and sales of lots by John & Barbara Shilling and George & Samuel Crider in the NE & NW quarters of Section 25 just SW of the city of Massillon. This area was known as Pidgeon or Pidgeon Run. The 1875 Stark County Atlas notes S. Cryder as still owning land in the NW quarter of Section 25. As you see on the modern day map, US Route 30 cuts through much of this area. Please sign the accompanying Photocopy Requisition Form and return to the Genealogy Division at your earliest convenience. If we can do anything else for you, please let us know. Cordially, Neal Thompson Gardner Genealogy Division Assistant Note: The Weflers also lived in Pidgeon Run and one line still lives there.
