T' TT has been impossible to obtain the name of the first white man to visit the spot where now stands the thriving town of Winamac. The fact that white settlements had been founded at Logansport and at numerous other places along the Wabash River, long before the present Pulaski County had a single white family within its borders, or before the county had any existence even in name, renders it certain that wandering hunters, trap- pers and prospectors had penetrated its almost unexplored regions, and had erected rude cabins in which their semi-civilized families were domes- ticated. These facts are clearly proved by the old settlers. A few fam- ilies of the wandering hunters were found here, and as many as twelve or fifteen of their log-cabins, or " shanties," were yet standing, scattered throughout the county, mostly along the larger water-courses, to testify of the earlier presence of this vanguard of civilization. Two of these cabins were standing on the present site of Winamac, and two or three others were on the river in Monroe Township, two miles south of town. Who erected and for a time occupied these rude dwellings are unknown.


Settlement .- As Pulaski County was settled largely by squatters com- ing from the older localities along the Wabash River, and as the soil in the southern part and along the river was deemed the most valuable, Monroe Township was not settled as early as the more favorably located land in those sections of the county. The squatters who became the first permanent white settlers established themselves, accordingly, in Van Buren, White Post and Indian Creek Townships, and, a little later, in other promising locations. Of the seventy-six tracts of land entered in the county in 1838, not one was in the present Monroe Township. The first entry was by David Klinger on the 5th of February, 1839, the land being the fractional southeast quarter of Section 25. The second was Lots 1, 6 and 7, on Section 25, by Joseph Wason, June 19, 1839.

These were the only tracts entered in 1839. The next was by Ebenezer M. Watkins, the northwest quarter of Section 24, September 16, 1840; and the next by George P. Terry on Section 12, December 5, 1840. These were the only tracts entered in 1840. The year 1841 saw a great increase. The following men entered land in


this year : Grosvenor S. Adams, Benjamin T. Ballinger, John Ballin- gef, James Ballinger, John Cunningham, Moses Cleveland, Henry Chase, Jesse Conn, John Crook, John Davenport, Joseph Foust, William Green, Benjamin Ganson, Jerome J. Ganson, Daniel Gabler, T. J. Galbreath, James H. Hodges, Elisha Hall, Rudolph Hoch, Samuel Hoch, James Hicks, Moses Hicks, O. B. Hayden, Andrew Keys, Francis Kelley, William M. Lemon, P. J. Larose, James Mulvaney, Jesse Milli- son, John P. Miller, Bartholomew Noel, William Neff, Peter Nickless, Comfort Odds, John R. Price, John Pearson, Peter Quigley, John Shearet, Abraham Stipp, George Shidler, John Spencer, Samuel Yance, Henry Nitcher and John Watts. It should be noted that many men were in the township during these years whose names do not appear in the above list, for the reason that they owned no land. Their names, or many of them, however, are found upon the election returns, and appear in the following pages.


The First Settler .- The name of the first permanent settler in Mon- roe Township cannot be indicated with absolute certainty. The family of Hacketts, which settled up the river from Winamac about two miles, though in Congressional Township 30, Range 1, but now in Monroe Township, was one of the very first, if not the first, coming early in the year 1838. It is likely, also, that Joseph Wason squatted some two miles south of Winamac, about the time of the appearance of the Hacketts. Of the two cabins standing on the present site of Winamac when the first settlers came, one was located about two hundred yards northwest of the present grist mill, and the other in the street between the woolen factory and the river. Who had occupied these rude buildings cannot be learned. In about September, 1838, George P. Terry purchased of the owner, a resident of Logansport, the "squatter claim " to the old log cabin, located about two hundred yards northwest of the grist mill, and the land upon which it stood, and immediately came to the cabin, accom- panied by Hampton W. Hornbeck, a native of Kentucky, whom he had hired, and began to fit his land for cultivation. These two men. Terry and Hornbeck, brought with them a quantity of rude bedding, some nec- essary cooking utensils, and the necessary instruments and implements to carry on their work. They lived alone, or " bached," doing their own cooking, going occasionally to Logansport for provisions, and depending largely upon their rifles for supplies of wild meat. Deer were every day

seen moving through the "oak openings," or grazing upon the rich wild grass that grew in abundance upon many of the open glades. The trees were filled with coons and squirrels, and afforded excellent repasts, although neither Terry nor Hornbeck were as good cooks as they, no doubt, often wished. Five times as many fishes were in the river as at present, and the two pioneers, probably respecting the memory of Isaac Walton, often drew out fine " strings " of black bass and other excellent fish. They brought salt pork from Logansport, besides flour, meal, sugar and coffee. There were no bears, and as the men were not experienced hunters, and as they had an abundance of hard work before them, their time was passed in swinging the ax and grubbing hoe.


Subsequent Improvement .- After about two months, other settlers be- gan to arrive. Moses Cleveland and John Davenport appeared and located north of Terry, and immediately afterward came Peter Quigley, Oliver Hayden, Andrew Keys, John Pearson, John Davis and several others. Pearson moved into the log cabin standing between the woolen factory and river ; but occupied it only while he was building a larger and better log building, into which he moved in November, 1838. He began to entertain travelers, and his log dwelling was soon known as a " tavern." He obtained some $200 worth of goods and notions, selling the same to the few settlers and to Pottawatomies, who often came to trade cranberries, maple sugar, venison and trinkets with him. The old log cabin upon being vacated by Pearson was immediately occupied by Joseph Conkling; but in January, 1839, was again vacated, and imme- diately re-occupied by David Harris. Andrew Keys, upon his arrival, moved first into the Pearson log cabin and later into the log cabin in which Terry and Hornbeck had "bached," the latter two beginning to board at the tavern. In January, 1839, Pear- son, who had some means at his command, employed several work- men, among whom were H. W. Hornbeck, John Sheram, Abraham Hatterbaugh and others, and began digging a long race across the neck of the river, preparatory to the construction of a dam and the erection of a saw mill, and perhaps a grist mill. The tavern was not fully completed until the spring of 1839. Both Hatterbaugh and Conkling were good carpenters, the former being something of a millwright. Hornbeck took the contract to dig the entire race, and employed the other workmen, re- ceiving his pay in estimates at stipulated periods. Several of the Hack- ett boys worked on the race, as did Moses Hicks, and almost every other settler who came to the immediate vicinity. Mr. Hornbeck thinks that Pearson continued his store and tavern more for the accommodation of the workmen than for any profit he expected to realize. The store sup- plies he kept on hand were only about such as his workmen and their fam-

ilies required. Abraham Hatterbaugh took the contract of furnishing the lumber or timber for the frame work of the saw mill for $101.25, com- pleting the task early in the spring of 1839; and immediately afterward the building was raised. The work on the race slowly continued, and thus the time passed, with the advent of a few more settlers, until the location of the county seat at Winamac, in May, 1839. Previous to this, however, about the 1st of April, John Pearson, Jesse Jackson, John Brown, John B. Niles and William Polke employed a surveyor, and laid out twenty blocks of eight lots each, and two fractional blocks, partly on Section 13 and partly on 14, the north street being Madison, and then south in order, Spring, Pearl, Main, Jefferson, Adams and Washington, and, next to the river on the east, Water street ; then west in order, Front, Monticello, Market and Logan. The town thus laid out was named " Winnemac." The direction of the streets was south twenty-four degrees east ; Lot 159 was donated for school purposes, and suitable land outside the town site was donated for a cemetery and for county seminary pur- poses. When May came, and the Commissioners to locate the county seat performed their duties, a resurvey of the town took place; but, so far as can be learned, no material change was made in the original plat. The date of the resurvey cannot be given, but must have been at the time of the location of the county seat. The plat was acknowledged by all of the above proprietors, except Polke, who, probably, had sold his interest before the date of acknowledgment-January 22, 1840. The plat was recorded May 7, 1841.


Later Progress .- When it became known that the county seat had been located at Winamac, the Government Land Officers were directed to establish an office there, and immediate preparations were made to erect the necessary buildings. E. A. Hannegan, the first Register, moved at first into a small log cabin which had been built by John Davis ; and Dr. Jesse Jackson, the first Receiver, built a small log house, into which his family was moved. Dr. Jackson was the first resident physician. G. S. Adams was Jackson's Clerk ; and II. P. Rowan was Hannegan's. John Pearson had been elected County Clerk and Recorder, entering upon his duties in May, 1839, though his oath of office was not taken until Octo- ber. He continued to keep hotel until late in the autumn, when he was succeeded by Andrew Keys, who continued for several years, selling liq- uor, as all tavern keepers did in those days. Mr. Pearson's store (if it can properly be called such) was not continued longer than the early sum- mer of 1839. John Davis was the first blacksmith. Benjamin Ganson and J. C. Waldo (the latter acting as clerk) were licensed to vend foreign merchandise and groceries for one year, beginning May 13, 1839, for which they paid $5 license. The next merchant was Charles Wheeler,


510

who began in December. Mr. Keys paid a license of $25 for one year for the privilege of selling liquor and keeping tavern. The following year Ganson & Waldo paid a license of $25. During the year 1840, J. J. Ganson began merchandising with his brother Benjamin. He probably had an interest in the stock the year before. In 1840, there were living at Winamac the families of John Pearson, Andrew Keys, E. A. Hanne- gan, John Davis, Dr. Jackson, H. W. Hornbeck, Joseph Conkling, M. A. Hadden, John Nitcher, and perhaps two or three others. Besides these, there were some ten or twelve single men, workmen on the race and saw mill (not yet completed) and adventurers and others, brought to the town by its being the county seat. This was the Winamac of 1840.


During the year 1839, many families arrived in Monroe Township, quite a number settling near Winamac-so near, in fact, as to become like the Jenkins family, almost identified with the town. For some time before the location of the county seat, it had become evident to the busi- ness men of Logansport and other settlements, that the seat of justice of the new county would not be far from what is now Winamac, and with this object in view the soil in the vicinity of the town was rapidly claimed, and the proprietors mentioned above, to be ready when the Locating Com- missioners appeared, laid out the town as already stated. Quite a num- ber of men who never lived at Winamac owned lots and other property in and near the town. Their names may be seen elsewhere in this volume.


The county seat was named for a distinguished Miami chief known as " Wynemac," who, in some of the early cession treaties, reserved a tract of land comprising several sections on the Wabash River. It is stated that this chief once had a village in what is now Pulaski County, but the writer has been unable to discover any satisfactory evidence that such was the case.


The old Klinger Mill on the river in Monroe Township, south of Win- amac, was built not far from 1844, and was well patronized for many years. School was taught in this neighborhood in 1840, but all the cir- cumstances connected with it have faded from the memory of the old set- tlers. The school is referred to in the county records.
