    Notes

    Land records 21 Nov 1837, 40 acres bought in Ohio, paid in cash, land office Lima.
    "The first regular meat market in Warsaw was opened by Jacob Boraman. It was in a small frame building, just south of what was known as the first 'tavern', and afterwards the Wright House, and he only asked four cents a pound for round steak. He supplied his market by buying an occasional quarter--sometimes a whole half of a beef--from the farmers who brought it to town for sale and occasionally the old gentleman was short on his supply" - extract from Warsaw Daily Times, 3 Aug 1901 (http://yesteryear.clunette.com/earlytimes080301.html)
