• • • • This land is right next door to Sanford Robertson. Sanford patented land 4/9/1842 (patent identified him as being of Edgefield South Carolina) and his land was cited as being in Township 14 Range 2 East Section #25 Southwest Quarter (160 acres) -- Township 14 Range 2 East Section #26 the East Half (319.48 acres) and Township 14 Range 2 East Section #27 (159.57 acres). Nathan's land shared a common boundary with Sandford in Section #26. A man named William G. Little owned the Northwest quarter in Section #26. There is definitely a connection between Nathan and the Robertson family but I just don't know what it was.
