This was back-entered onto the maps from GNIS, which cites an 1876 atlas of the state. Baird's History of Clark County, Indiana on p. 100 has a very brief reference to it as a post office, and I found nothing else of relevance other than that there was a school there at some point. I just don't see that there was ever a settlement here. Mangoe (talk) 02:20, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: No information found; furthermore, the coordinates don't match the description in Baird's, which says Sylvan Grove was one quarter mile south of Memphis, while the coordinates are for a site about a mile southeast of Memphis. Someone made a mistake somewhere, and we might be able to figure out where if we had information, which we do not. Thus, delete. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:17, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment The marker is probably in the wrong place because Sylvan Grove is 3 miles NW of Charlestown, I think it's more likely along the other road running NW. Problematically it's also this guys birthplace Jefferson_C._Davis [1]. Someone in Clarke county also graduated from "Sylvan Grove". Those were the only two hits in the local paper. This is just me dropping a hot potato and fleeing.James.folsom (talk) 00:09, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
