A HISTORICAL SKETCH
OF
HENDRICKS COUNTY.
HENDRICKS COUNTY is near the centre of the State of Indiana, and is bounded on the north by Boone county, on the east by Marion, on the south by Morgan, and on the west by Putnam and Montgomery. It contains about 420 square miles, or near one hundred and thirty-five thousand acres of land. The county was organized in the year 1824; it was named in honor of one of Indiana's noble Governors, William Hendricks, the sec- ond Governor of the State. The surface of the county is generally level or slightly rolling; there is but very little of the county but what can be cultivated. There is some broken land on the creeks or streams that run through the the.county, but it can all, or about all, be made profitable for grazing and stock-raising. The timber of the county is of very fine quality and of great abundance, especially in the northern part of the county, where staves are shipped by the hundred thousand, and saw logs by the hundred.
The county is watered by Eel River, Mill Creek, Mud Creek, White Lick Creek, and their tributaries. Eel River runs through the north-west part of the county, Mill Creek the south-west, Mud Creek the south, and White Lick the east. The soil is generally of fine quality and well adapted to the raising of wheat, rye, oats, barley and Indian corn ; roots and vegetables are grown in abundance ; blue grass and other grasses grow spon- taneously, thereby making this one of the best stock-raising counties in the State. Almost all kinds of fruit raised in this climate do well here, and fruit-raisers receive profitable returns.

The first settlers emigrated from North Carolina to this county about the year 1818, and settled on Government lands prior to entry. The first land entered in the county was entered in July, 1821, about three years before the organization of the county. The first settlements were made in the south-east part of the county, in what is now called Liberty and Gilford townships. Some of the first settlers were David Downs, Ross Nichols, Richard Christie, George and David Matlock, Wm. Ballard, Jonathan Rodgers, James Thompson, Thomas Hadley, Josiah Tomlinson, John Bryant, and Thomas Lockhart.
After the organization of the county, in the year 1824, the three first County Commissioners, Thomas Lockhart, Gideon Willson and Littlebery Blackley, met in council and divided the county into four townships. They made arrangements for the · sale of lots in Danville, the county seat, and ordered elections for a Justice of the Peace to be elected in each township, and appointed the necessary township officers. And right here let me say, that notwithstanding Thomas Lockhart was of sufficient age to be one of Hendricks county's first Commissioners, he is yet a citizen of the county, acting in the capacity as minister of the Gospel for the Christian Church. He has lived to see the county reared from poverty to wealth-from a howling wilder- ness, inhabited by the wild beasts of the forest, to one of the best improved counties in the State, populated by over twenty thous- and intelligent, Christian people. Long may he wave !
The first Clerk of the county was Levi Jessup, who did all the business of the county as Clerk, Recorder and Collector, and was succeeded in office by Simon T. Hadley. The names of those who have since held the position of Clerk of the county are James M. Gregg, Joshua D. Parker, John Irons, Levi Ritter, N. T. Hadley and Lotan Jinkens.
The first Sheriff of the county was Thos. J. Matlock ; the first Prosecuting Attorney, Harvey Gregg. The first marriage license issued in the county was issued to James Renolds and Rachel Demoss, who were joined in marriage on the 17th day of No- vember, 1824, by Samuel Jessup, Justice of the Peace. The first white male child born in the county was Thomas Nichols, son of Ross Nichols. The first Circuit Court held in the county was
x
·
held at the residence of Wm. Ballard, about one-half mile south- east of Bellville, on a farm now owned by John T. Hamrick. W. W. Wick was Circuit Judge, Nathan Hick and James Doun- ard were Associate Judges. The only private room that could be found for the grand jury at that time was a dry spot in the forest where they could be seated on a log. But I presume that nothing intruded on their privacy to startle or molest them, ex- cept the occasional wa-oo of the owl, the croak of the bullfrog, or hiss of the rattlesnake.
The first Representative of the county was Lewis Mastin, his L successor Col. Thomas Nichols. Col. C. C. Nave may possibly remember that others were elected to the office of Representative of the county prior to his election for the same, but can not re- member that the county was ever represented until he did it.
The first school taught in the county was taught by Wesley McCinley, at Danville, in the year 1824. The first church organ- ized in the county was the regular Baptist Church, at Danville. The first steam sawmill in the county was built at Old Spring- town, in Clay township, by Mr. - Coffen. The first steam woolen mill in the county was built in Danville by Wm. C. Cline, who afterwards attached a gristmill, and was burnt out in the year 1852. Said Cline thinks the first cook stove used in the county was bought by him in 1840.
The first dry goods merchant in the county was James L. Givan, who located at Danville in a very early day, and sold goods for a long period in Danville. Mr. Givan is still living, but is not now a resident of the county.
We will now go back to the first settling of the county, and see how rapid she has advanced in population, wealth and im- provements. About the year 1818 the first white man settled on her soil, and felled the first timber to build the first log cabin on her territory. In 1824 the territory of the county had in- creased in population to a sufficient number to become necessa- ry for an organization of the county, with a population of about 1,000. For the next six years emigration kept rapidly flowing in from the States of North Carolina, Kentucky and other States of the Union, until in 1830 her population had increased to 3,975; in 1840 to 11,264; in 1850 to 14,083; in 1860 to

16,963, and in 1870 to 20,277. Her vote has increased at the same ratio of the population ; her improvements and wealth have more than kept pace with her increase in number, and her four townships have been subdivided into twelve. Her post offices have increased to the number of twenty. Her old Court House is no more, but instead she has erected one of the finest buildings in the State. Her old log jail has vanished, and made room for the building of a home for the Sheriff and a place of security for her convicts, which has been done at a cost of $40,000. Her two-roomed poor house has been exchanged for a fine, beautiful and expensive asylum, which is an honor to the county and a comfort to the destitute. Her two or three log school houses are gone, but in their stead she has over one hundred fine brick and frame buildings, at a cost of, over $100,000. Her mud roads are being graveled and turnpiked. Her immense forests have been hewn down by the ax of the settler, and fine improved farms have taken their place. Her eight or ten log cabins have grown to be mansions and nice dwellings or beautiful homes for her citizens. Her straw-cov- ered rail pens, used for the sheltering of stock, have about gone out of existence, and fine barns are supplying their places. The wild beasts of the forests have been slaughtered and driven from h'er borders, and the serpent and reptile have been killed and destroyed until there are but few to be found. The settler no longer stands guard as sentinel to drive the wolf and bear from his cabin.
Then the howl of the wolf the settler could hear, There were bears, wild cats and varmints ; There were scorpions, lizards and serpents to fear, To frighten a man out of his garments. Now the wolf howl no more do we hear, The black bear is not here to roam, Now no hiss of the serpent to create in us fear, No varmints molesting our home.
But for fear that some one may think that the writer has snakes in his boots, we will stop here and take a look at the present wealth and resources of the county. She now has 130,000 acres of improved land, valued at over $12,000,000. She has seven thousand five hundred and fifty (7, 550) head of
-
.
horses, one thousand one hundred and seventy-six (1, 176) head of mules and asses, five thousand four hundred and ninety-two (5,492) milch cows, two hundred and twenty-one (221) work oxen, twenty-one thousand four hundred and sixty (21,460) head of sheep, and between thirty and forty thousand head of swine. The total estimated value of all live stock is one mil- - lion six hundred and forty-five thousand seven hundred and one dollars. The statistics of 1870 show that she produced in that year three hundred and seventy-six thousand nine hundred and ninety-two (376,992) bushels of winter wheat, two thousand three hundred and nineteen (2,319) bushels of rye, nine hun- dred and seventy-five thousand eight hundred and twenty-five (975,825) bushels of corn, fifty-three thousand five hundred (53,500) bushels of oats, seventy thousand two hundred and thirty-three (70,233) pounds of wool, two hundred and eighteen thousand five hundred and twenty-six (218, 526) pounds of but- ter, and over twelve thousand tons of hay. The total estimated value of all farm productions is one million seven hundred and twenty-two thousand eight hundred and thirty-two dollars ($1,- 722,832). She has one hundred and sixty-six manufacturing establishments, consisting of flouring mills, woolen mills, saw mills, stave factories, carriage factory, broom factories, furniture manufactories, etc. She has forty-two steam engines and one water. wheel. There are now four railroads in the county, three of them span the entire county from its eastern to western boun- dary ; the Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western Railroad cross- ing her northern border, the Indianapolis & St. Louis the cen- ter, the Terre Haute, Vandalia & St. Louis near the south, while the Indianapolis & Vincennes crosses the south-east corner, whereby travel is made convenient and speedy, and good mar- ket at home for all her surplus.

In 1870 the assessed value of all the taxable property in the county was eleven million four hundred and ninety-nine thous- and one hundred and seventy-two dollars ($11,499,172); the true value is over twenty million dollars ($20,000,000). The amount of all taxes for the year 1870 was one hundred and fifty-seven thousand five hundred and fifty-seven dollars ($157,557), which is divided as follows: Fifty-four thousand four hundred and

fifty-six dollars ($54,456) is for township and corporation taxes ; fifty-two thousand four hundred and twelve dollars ($52,412) for county, and the balance, which is fifty thousand six hundred and seventy-nine dollars ($50,679), is for State purposes. The public debt of the county the same year amounted to thirty- eight thousand one hundred and fourteen dollars. All things considered, her financial standing will compare favorably with the best counties of the State. Her citizens as a class are indus- trious, honest and temperate ; there is not a licensed saloon in the county, nor has not been for a number of years. In every town and village, and at almost every cross road, her church spires are to be seen, telling the beholder that this is a liberal, intelligent and church-attending people.
BROWN TOWNSHIP.
Brown Township is situated in the north-east corner of the County and is bounded as follows: On the north by Boone county ; on the east by Marion ; on the south by Lincoln town- ship, and on the West by Middle, and contains an area of twen- ty-four square miles. The surface of the Township is generally level, and the eastern portion wet. The soil is rich and where drained is very productive. It is watered by the east branch of White Lick creek and School branch. This was one of the last settled townships in the county, but is rapidly filling up. The present population is 1233. The eastern portion of the Town- ship is principally settled by emigrants from Ireland, who seem to be honest, economizing and industrious, with more wit and less education than any other people that I have found in the County ; although some of them have good educations, and all seem de- termined to educate their children and are giving them the ben- efit of the public schools. The Township is well supplied with timber, and at present there are great quantities of staves and saw-logs being shipped to other markets. Her school privile- ges are good and education is advancing.
