Index to J.E.Y. Hanna Survey Records, 1830s - 1890s from Pope County, Illinois Now Available

This is a full-name index prepared exclusively in 2022 by Backstory Bloodhound, LLC (a genealogical research and consulting business of Rick Allen) to the Survey Records of J.E.Y. Hanna in Pope County, Illinois.  These were people whom he or his father Geo. H. Hanna did survey work for in the county.  The original records are at the University of Illinois in the Illinois History and Lincoln Collections.  They will be scanning the original records with free online access very soon.  Until that time, please feel free to email rick@backstorybloodhound.com and request a scan of the specific record in which you are interested.

Below is the link to Index in a Google Docs spreadsheet. The index includes the name of the owner, the section, township, and range of the property, the quarter section with a more precise location, the date of the survey when given, and any notes or observations.
