The best available source I found says Midvale Farms in Tucson was owned by descendants of John Deere through his company.

What that means

  • A local history article states that Midvale Farms “is said to have been owned by the descendants of John Deere through his well-known company.”
  • The same source connects Midvale Farms to the area that later became Midvale Park.

Caveat

  • The wording “is said to have been” suggests this is a reported historical account, not a fully documented deed record in the source I found.
  • If you want the original individual or the exact chain of ownership, the next best step would usually be county land records or subdivision history files.
