HI,

I was wondering if its possible to view a map from 18th or 17th century showing the farm , Butt Hill farm on it. Meaning back then it must have had a different name , what I would like to know is what was it. :confused:
Thank you
Sam

Do you have a current address for it?


I found this have no idea if it is what you are looking for
Perhaps it was a different family who produced an incendiarist at Mr George Webster's Butt Hill Farm in February, 1875. A report in the Retford and Gainsborough Times reads,

'The fire was prevented from spreading to four other stacks. On Tuesday evening, a man named Drabble, living in the neighbourhood of Whitwell, gave himself up to the police at Whitwell, and on being taken before Mr Webster, and interrogated by him as to his reason for the dastardly act (a very different procedure from that of today!) his reply was that he had no particular reason, but that he was drunk and a fool.'

The quick answer is "usually" but it might not help you. Where is the farm? You can almost always find section and township information with plats at the local courthouse or wherever the records for that area are kept. Some of it is on-line, but not a lot of historical data in my experience.
