Crousore land: Howard Co., IN

Boy am I dragging behind with posts! I've been examing land and census records for my Crousore & Simmons families. The 1850 Howard Co. census shows Jacob, John, John C. and Stephen Crousore, Samuel Langley and John Simmons as neighbors. Stephen, both Johns and Langley all are shown on Section 5 Twp 23-N, R4-E and John Smith on Section 4. These are all 1849 BLM-GLO purchases. Jacob Crousore and John Simmons [father & son-in-law] must have acquired property from their relatives or other neighbors by 1850. A Jacob Crousore [Christian] also bought land in 1849 - but not close to John's brood.
