Below is the land grant purchased from James Truel who also served as a private in the War of 1812.
Below is a Map of Illinois indicating Principal Meridians and Baselines which shows the property matches the
plat map and legal descriptions.
All the land grants were processed in Washington DC by President Franklin Pierce on July 9, 1853, though the Illinois database indicates the property was acquired on July 1, 1852. These documents also verify that the plat map incorrectly spelled Henry's last name as "Emry" rather than the correct spelling of "Emery".
