The settlement's women, named from the deed and census record
The marriages are the settlement's binding record, and the wills put land in women's names. Jane Clark Huggart (m. Andrew 1839; d. 28 January 1890; her will and life-occupancy in the land record); Sarah (Huggart) Manuel and Mary A. / Sarah M., in Chapman's conflicted telling; Amanda Bass (m. Noah Boone, Vigo County, 17 June 1858); Eliza Bass, then Janetta Bass (m. Hardy Manuel, 1858 / 1866); Dila Bass, Benjamin's wife, with personal property in his will; Zipporah Boone; Rosella and Addie Huggart in the 1880 households. Bass to Boone, Bass to Manuel, Huggart to Manuel — that interweaving, and the occupancy the wills gave women, is documented, and it prints at exactly that size. Separate Black women's organising in Union Township — a club, society, church society, or suffrage organisation of this township — was not found in any carrierWhat the record shows is the settlement's women organising inside the shared institutions — the Sumption Prairie and Olive Branch church and school record — and inside the household and deed record above. At a settlement whose counted peak was twenty-eight persons, that is the true size of the finding; South Bend's Black women's institutions are South Bend's build's whole, at pointer only.
