TOWNSHIP HISTORIES.
INTRODUCTORY.
TN the preceding pages. it has been the purpose to generalize and classify the material so as to condense and arrange. it under topical heads, and by that means. bring together. in con- nected narrative. as nearly a complete review of all the facts per- taining to the subject being discussed as opportunity and space would permit. By such a process. the reader might be enabled. with less labor and research, to glean the information sought for. and pass then to examination of other topics conunanding his at- tention. A somewhat different method. however. necessarily prevails in the presentation of historical data belonging especially to the townships and neighborhoods of the county. In this do- partment, less generalization and more detail is required, since it is reasonably expected that the recitals will in the main refer to what has taken place under the immediate observation of per- sons formerly or at present residents of the township. or in which many of them may have individually participated. Henco. it is the province of the township historian to confine himself to the consideration of home matters. - individual matters - as opposed to what may be properly recognized as public matters.
This is the more natural method, since. in the early days of our pioneer history. there were no immediate boundaries circum- scribing our homes and settlements, making us especially inhabi- tants of a merely local jurisdiction. The settlers then were free, amenable only to the laws of our country as a nation, and to the great principles of inherent liberty and right. accepting the limit of freedom to be the exercise of personal prerogatives not in con- fliet with the rights of others. It will be the aim. therefore, to so treat the subject as to commence with the period of settlement and trace the progress of local improvement from the individual homestead in the wilderness to the stately farm-house and the broad acres. with the elaborately cultivated fields of to-day: giv- ing. measured by the best results of our opportunities. the de- tails of fact and incident that make up the family. neighborhood and township history. In this department will be found. also, the names of individuals, with the dates of their settlement: township organization and early local officers: the formation of early religious societies, the erection and dedication of churches; the location, building and occupancy of schoolhouses: the build- ing of mills and the introduction of such mechanical contrivances as tend to the enlargement of facilities and area of productive industry. In short. the reader will find in the pages following a comprehensive review of the features that give character to the locality. Beyond these features, whatever of interest indicative of the progress of society in the acquisition of those classes of knowledge. the possession of which enlarges the sphere of use- fulness in the double capacity of citizenship and individual con- sideration, will find mention in its appropriate place.
DEER CREEK TOWNSHIP.
At the time when the first settlements began to be made in Carroll County. the entire territory embraced within its limits was in a state of nature, and only a portion of its lands had been surveyed. About the time the public lands in this vicinity were subject 10 entry and purchase. Henry Robinson, who, it would seem. had been here on a tour of inspection and selected an eli- gible site for a homestead. repaired to the land office at Craw- fordsville and procured a certificate of purchase at the established rate, for the east half of the southeast quarter of Section 20, in Township 25 north, Range 2 west. containing eighty acres, the certificate bearing date December 21. 1824. A week later. he, with his eldest son, Abner. and other necessary help, started on their journey for the spot selected for their future home. reach- ing it on the last day of the year, 1824. An account of the erection of that first cabin, and the circumstances attending it, having been given elsewhere in this volume, it is not necessary to repeat the same in this connection. Suffice it to say, this building was. no doubt. for the purposes of a residence. the first one erected in the county. and, of course, the first one erected in Deer Creek Township. because the first permanent settlements in the county were here. Four years previous. however. a trad- ing-house had been erected by Col. John B. Duret, on the left bank of the Wabash. just above the mouth of Rock Creek. in what is now Carroll County. but not in this township as at pres- ent organized.
