The Askin Family-Land-1789-1829.

I normally don’t devote a full page to one family, but I found this family very interesting. Their names were John, John Jr. and John Askin Sr. This is the history of their land, although there is no family history you will learn where they were and what they were doing in this time in history. These men had land in Vincennes, Illinois, Michigan Territory and the District of Detroit.

Note. This information comes from the Library of Congress of the Department of Public lands. This info comes from two Volumes, Vol. 1. 1789-1809 and Vol. 5. 1827-1829.

Important Note. As there was so much info I could not put the info on this page, so I have given you links to the info, as you open these links you will find the info is little, but not to worry there will be a enlarging box in the lower right hand corner of the page, just move your arrow around till it come up then push on it.
