OK, I'm confused! According to the Delaware Co. Deeds, Jacob Crousore sold 80 acres - N1/2 of NE1/4 of Section 13 Twp 21N of Range 8E to Isaiah Love for $225 on 11 March 1844 [14:102]. Then on 30 May 1849 he sold the same property for the same money to the same person! [20:576] On that same date Jacob purchased the same tract of land from John Hutson/Hudson for $214.[20:575]
Now, Hutson purchased that tract as well as another adjoining tract in Sec. 13 from Joseph Cook on 5 March 1839, but the deed wasn't recorded until 7 April 1845. That was 13 months after Jacob Crousore sold the property to I. Love. Maybe that accounts for the 1849 deed? Hutson hadn't recorded the original purchase. Jacob would then have had to acquire the land between March 1839 and March 1844.
Jacob and most of the rest of the family moved to Howard Co. about 1849. Daughter Edith married there in June of 1849.
