DAYTON.

Dayton had the first flouring mill in the county, and the first woolen mill run by water, in the State. At one time, about 1834 and 1835, it was in advance of Ottawa ; it had a flouring mill, do- ing a heavy business, a saw mill, wagon shop, tannery and chair shop, and stores doing a large business.

The dam across the Fox River is maintained by the State. It was built to turn water into the feeder for the canal, and the Messrs. Green, who were the owners of the land, had what water they wanted, without any expense for dam or race.

When the Fox River branch of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad passed through Dayton the flouring mill and woolen mill were both in use, and a paper mill went into operation ; and there was water power for many more.

The towns of Dayton and Rutland were set- tled simultaneously ; and their early settlement so connected that it is difficult to fully separate their history. They are separated by Fox River, and between them lies the rapids of that stream, formerly furnishing an excellent water power and from where the feeder of the Illinois and Michigan Canal was taken.

The first settler here was William Clark, said to be a South Carolinian, but last from Fort Clark, now Peoria, in the spring of 1829. He built his cabin on the N. E. I-4 S. 24; sold his claim in September, 1829, to John Green, and went to Du Page County.

John Green, who purchased Clark's claim and improvement, in company with William Green, Joseph Grove and William Lambert, left Newark, Ohio, on the 27th day of August, 1829, on a tour of exploration of the Northwest. They traveled on horseback by way of Fort Wayne, Kala- mazoo, Michigan, and along the south shore of Lake Michigan, to Chicago. They found but few settlers, and frequently had to sleep on the ground with the sky for a covering.

In September, they reached Walker's (now Holderman's) Grove, and the Fox River, where Millington now is, following it down to the cabin of Clark. He showed them the rapids of the Fox, and told them it was the best mill privilege in America. As such a privilege was what Mr. Green was seeking, he purchased Clark's claim and determined to locate here. They found a corps of engineers surveying the canal feeder, and passed on to Ottawa, where they found one cabin near where the Boat Club house now is, occupied by James Walker, and one cabin on the south belonging to Dr. David Walker. They went on to Bailey's Point, where they found

Lewis Bailey and William Seeley. They ex- plored the country as far south as Vandalia, then the capital of the State, when he purchased eighty acres for his mill site, at Dayton, and returned to Ohio, arriving on the 15th of October, and immediately prepared to emigrate to Illinois.
