The other instruments, each tested

1821 · 1826 · 1832 · 1833

Every remaining candidate cession was tested against the townsite, and each is negative. The Treaty of Chicago, 29 August 1821 (7 Stat. 218, Royce Area 117), ceded the country between the 1817 line and the meridian of Parc aux Vaches on the St. Joseph — the townsite stands south of the 1817 line and west of that meridian, outside the tract on both of its limbs. The Treaty of 16 October 1826 (7 Stat. 295; Royce Areas 132 and 133) ceded, in its two tracts, country north of the Wabash far south and east of here, and the northwest-corner tract bounded on the south by the 1817 line — the townsite is south of that line, outside both tracts; the same treaty's schedule of grants to fifty-eight scholars of the Carey Mission laid its quarter-sections on the St. Joseph river by the mission, in the county's north, a placement the sister build to the northwest plotted tract by tract, and none of them touches Liberty Township. The first Tippecanoe treaty, 20 October 1832 (7 Stat. 378), with the Potawatomi of the Prairie and Kankakee, cedes a tract bounded by Lake Michigan, the Chicago and Kankakee rivers and the Illinois, and on the east by the Indiana state line itself — the townsite is east of that line, in Indiana, and outside it. The third Tippecanoe treaty, 27 October 1832 (7 Stat. 399), ceded the Potawatomi country on the Tippecanoe and Wabash, south of this county. And the Treaty of Chicago of 1833 (7 Stat. 442) ceded the nation's remaining lands in Illinois and Wisconsin and its Michigan reserves — by 1833 this ground had already been ceded the year before, and the mapped record returns no polygon of any of these instruments at the townsite: one cession, 180, and no other, covers the point.
