I hope this is the most appropriate forum... sorry if not.
I need help understanding the below (directions from early 1800's):
Start near the oak and maple on the north east branch of the *** Fork of the *** River, running thence due north (number) poles to an elm and mulberry... then east (number) poles to an ash and black oak... passing through a small lake in (number) rising hill in (number)... thence south (number) poles to a chinkapin oak and cedar on crossing a small branch in (number)
There are a couple parts that are not clear to me. Noted in RED
I assume the reference to poles are fence posts? What was the nominal distance back then? Because I know they are for sure gone!
Are the other numbers not referring to posts steps or something? Maybe a parcel number? I cant find a map on this area from then... were decendants of the first settlers from the area. SW of St. Louis MO
Any advice?
Think those trees are still there? NOT
