Thanks Jim, this was a lot of fun. These checks have been in my collection for 15-20 years, just waiting to tell their story.

I googled the people's names together with the name of the town and/or bank names and "cashier", "treasurer", "lawyer" as appropriate, along with 1863 or 1864 (in my case) or other words to narrow the results down (like the county name), and finally then re-googling with what I found out.
