Good Morning Rich.
I found it.
While looking for something else.
And it goes to prove that memory is not always correct and I acknowledge that I can and do make mistakes.
The Source for my Moniker for {Rustic} Randal Largent is Joshua Antrim.He wrote'The History of Champaign and Logan Counties, From Their First Settlement' about 1870.It was published in 1872.
However I quoted him incorrectly.On page 35 of that work he stated; 'Randal Largent occupied a small rough (not rustic as I called it) cabin on lot No. 24, on the north-west border of a small pond,...'.
This lot was located in the town of Urbana.Antrim states that his father arrived in Urbana on 9 Aug. 1811 and Randal Largent is included in a list of names of 'old settlers at the date here indicated.'.
So.
Now I have an enigma.
What do I call Randal?
For now the new Moniker will be {Urbana} Randal Largent.
Have a great weekend.
Randy Largent
