On November 18, 1862, John and Mary Hatfield of Wayne County, Indiana sold 80 acres to Alexander Dean…for the tidy sum of $100.00, The land was located in Pulaski County, Indiana. On this Deed appears the signatures of John and Mary Hatfield and- Mayor John Finley, the Civil War Mayor of Richmond, Indiana. Wonder how long the Buyer & Sellers negotiated to reach the $1.25 per acre price?…and who paid the closing cost? ($1.00) :-)
