Zanesville, Wells Co., IN pretty small to have a Land Office. Most likely Zanesville, OH which did have one and was close to a US military survey.

For lookups in Fort Wayne directory - try Allen Co. Public Library Genealogy dept. at http://www.acpl.lib.in.us/genealogy/index.html

Carolyn,
There are many Weikel's in the Wells County and Allen County area. Is Weibel another spelling for Weikel or is this a different family?

This post about the Zanesville Land turned out not to be anything related to my William B, Weibel who came over from Switzerland through New Orleans to Indiana, settling in Washington, Daviess Co IN. I've never seen a Weikel in my line, but have see misspellings such as Weivel and Weible, and Wible.

If I were you I'd google the Weikel name. Then I'd go to family search.com and put in his name and his birthdate, then again with his name and a year that would be about 20 years later to see if a marriage comes up. All you really have to know is a state. If you know his wife's name as well that would be helpful. On rootsweb.com you can serach by the surname only. Just enter Weikel and see what you get. If you know the county he was born, married or died in call the county clerk and ask her to check the various index lists. You can also go to your local library and use their access to Heritage Quest and view census information. You can browse a year or county, but you will save a lot fo time if you know the city, state and preferably a county.

You can use my email if you think I can be of further help. cheers1004@yahoo.com.

Just go to the top of this page and enter WEIKEL in the search box and be sure the "all boards" is checked. I did that and 677 hits came up for you to read and check out.

Cheers
