Jackson Purchase

I have found a reference to the Jackson Purchase, but don’t sem to find a reference where it included Southern Indiana.

The Jackson Purchase was a historic event before it became a region. The transaction involved prolonged negotiations culminating in a treaty between agents of the United States and those of the Chickasaw Indian Nation. Representing the United States were the aging Isaac Shelby, Revolutionary War hero and twice Kentucky governor, and General Andrew Jackson, hero of the Battle of New Orleans and later president. The Chickasaws were represented by their chiefs, head men and warriors including Levi and George Colbert, Chinubby (the Boy King), and Tishomingo. The two sides signed the treaty in northwestern Mississippi on October 19, 1818; it was ratified by the United States Senate and confirmed by President James Monroe on January 7, 1819.

In return for the relinquishments of all lands east of the Mississippi River and north of the Mississippi state line, the Chickasaws received $300,000 at the rate of $20,000 annually for fifteen years. The states of Kentucky and Tennessee, neither of which had previously extended beyond the Tennessee River, were enlarged by approximately 2,000 and 6,000 square miles respectively. The Kentucky addition became known as the Jackson Purchase, the larger Tennessee portion as West Tennessee.

where it says —

The Jackson Purchase is a region in the state of Kentucky bounded by the Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee Rivers. It was technically part of Kentucky at its statehood in 1792, but did not come under definitive U.S. control until it was purchased from the Chickasaw Indians by Andrew Jackson in 1818. Kentuckians generally call this region simply the Purchase.

Although Jackson’s purchase also included all of Tennessee west of the Tennessee River, the term Jackson Purchase is used only to refer to the Kentucky portion of the acquisition; the Tennessee region directly to the south is typically called West Tennessee.

end of quote —

So The Jackson Purchase was a purchase from the Chickasaw in 1818 of the low-lands between the Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee Rivers.

I understand the “Jackson Purchase” included parts of Southern Indiana too. However I can’t find a reference claiming that the Jackson Purchase also included Southern Indiana.

Bill or anyone, can you help me here?

thanks
