Hogmarkings in Jefferson County, Indiana

Each person owning cattle, hogs, or live stock was required to have and use a "stock mark" because there were few fences and most livestock ran wild. The mark was required to be registered by the recorder of the county in which the owner lived. This procedure also identified stock for tax purposes. The date indicates the date the mark was registered and the township of residence
