Tradition declares that the people of Harrisburg cherished the fond hope of securing the county seat in 1819. But they did not take into consideration that Connersville was nearer the center of the county, and, also the influence of John Conner.
HAWKINS.
Hawkins, located in the southwestern part of Harrison township, was for a time a postoffice, getting its name from the store of M. P. Hawkins, and, as far as known, the only industry ever located here is a blacksmith shop now operated by Albert McConnell.

REDVILLE,- REDTOWN OR STUMPTOWN.
Ancient Pompeii was lost to the world from 79 A. D. until the middle of the eighteenth century, but, when it was accidentally discovered by a man digging a well, it was but a short time until the full identity of the ancient city was fully established. The traveler who goes to Italy today may see practically the whole city as it appeared on the day it was covered by the cinders and lava from Mt. Vesuvius.
And what has Pompeii to do with the history of Fayette county, Indi- ana, U. S. A .? Fayette county, like ancient Italy, has an ancient city, but. unlike Pompeii, it has not been lost to history because of a volcanic upheaval. No evidence is left of this village of ancient Fayette; it has disappeared from the face of the earth. The historians have heard vague and indefinite hints of a once flourishing village on the banks of Williams creek in the southeastern corner of Harrison township, but when it came to getting defi- nite facts about it they were completely baffled. Its name was even shrouded in obscurity; it was variously known as Redville, Redtown and Stumptown, according to the person trying to recall something about it. .
But fortunately one person was finally found who had exact informa- tion on this urban mystery. From HT. L. Ludlow, of Glenwood, the histor- ians have been able to get what is believed to be an accurate description of this ancient village. His account is substantially as follows :
About 1825 William Philpott located in the southwestern corner of Harrison township, along Williams creek, and built a rude log cabin. This same structure is now ( 1917) a part of Lydia Hall's residence. His father, John Philpott, built another, house on the site now occupied by the residence of Bunyan Martin: later, John Philpott built three other houses. These houses, together with all the outbuildings, he painted venetian red. Trav- elers and drovers passing this way christened the collection of houses Red- ville. or Redtown, and the name became universally used throughout this part of the state. It was on the road frequently used by men driving hogs to Cincinnati and was always referred to in this manner .. Where the name Stumptown originated is not known, but it does not seem to have had wide usage at any time in the village's brief career.
John Ludlow had a blacksmith shop in the midst of the embryonic urban center-and there were other important industrial establishments located here. William Philpott operated a chair factory; John Philpott, probably (16)
2.42
FAYETTE COUNTY, INDIANA.
the most extensive manufacturer, was a wagon-maker, shoemaker, cooper and blacksmith. William Philpott disposed of his chair factory to James Molden a short time later. John Philpott built the first grist-mill and sub- sequently sold it to Thomas Moffett. While all of these industrial changes were going on in the village, Hampton Stewart opened a tailor establish- ment ; William Hawkins launched out as a shoemaker, shortly followed by a competitor, Thomas Schasick. The latter was a full blooded Indian, but his reputation as a maker of good shoes has been handed down through three generations.
The village was booming by the early forties and gave promise of be- ing something more than a mere cross-roads hamlet. In 1842 John Philpott sought to foster the religious feelings of the increasing population by erect- ing a building for church purposes. Accordingly he built a frame structure and presented it to the members of the Christian church-and this building is now used by Bunyan Martin as a corncrib. Thus has this once sacred edifice descended to a secular use. In the meantime there was a demand for a postoffice: in fact, William Philpott succeeded in getting the United States government to appoint him postmaster as early as December 15, 1832, and in his honor the office was duly designated as Philpott's Mills. Five years later the location was changed to a place about a mile west, Ross Smiley becoming the postmaster on April 24. 1837. At the same time the name of the office was changed to Longwood-just why that name, is not known. Smiley remained postmaster until July 31, 1861, when Thomas Moffett took charge.
But with the disappearance of the postoffice from the vicinity of Phil- pott's mills and the abandonment of the mill, the hope of the inhabitants for further growth was doomed to disappointment. Soon the few red-painted houses became faded, the few inhabitants scattered, and by the time of the Civil War there was little to indicate where the once hopeful village of Red- ville raised its sanguinary head. Its story was told; its race was run. And in 1917 only a very few of the oldest inhabitants of the county recall the name of the village that was well known to every person in the forties and fifties.
JACKSON TOWNSHIP.
Jackson township, named in honor of Andrew Jackson, was cut off from Columbia township by the county commissioners in August, 1820. As first constituted it included all of the territory of the original Columbia township

east of the White Water river. But the six sections in the southeastern corner of the township-20, 21, 28. 29, 32 and 33-did not become a part of the township until January 16, 1826. Prior to that date these six sec- tions had been a part of Franklin county, their attachment to Fayette county being brought about by the legislative act of 1826. In March, 1826, the com- missioners of Fayette county formally attached the six sections to Jackson township. No change has been made in the township limits since that time.
Practically all of the land in the township had been entered before the county was organized in 1819, although there were two small tracts which were not entered until 1837. The complete list of land entries follows :

Many of the purchasers of land in this township were actual settlers, the first of whom, with some exceptions, procured land along the west fork of the White Water river. The first settlements were made chiefly by emi-
.

grants from the Southern states, the greater number coming from South Carolina and Kentucky. Among the first settlers from the former state and those who were active in the early organization of the county were Charles Salyer, who served as a county commissioner for eight years, and his brother, John, who was also active, but held no official position. Coming at the same time as the men mentioned above, was Gabriel Ginn, from Ken- tucky, who served as county clerk and also as sheriff for a number of years. Daniel Green, who came from Maryland, was one of the earliest settlers in this part of the country. The story is told that while.prospecting for land in what is now Franklin county, he was attracted by the sound of a cow-bell and upon following it he came to the cabin of John Eagen and family, who lived near the bridge over the river at Nulltown. The Eagen settlement was the earliest in the township of which there is any record.
Another one of the very early settlers was Daniel Moore, who came to the "Twelve-Mile Purchase" in 1809, and after spending one winter in Brookville, settled in Jackson township in. March, 1810.
Among the settlers . coming in- 1812 were Joel Scott, a native of South Carolina, and James Craig, from Virginia. The Pumphreys and the Renches made permanent settlements in the township about the same time.
In 1813 the southeastern part of the township was settled by a number of related families from South Carolina and included among them Ebenezer Smith. George Stanley, Simon Crist, James Waters and John Waters. John and James Waters had come to the vicinity in 1812, purchased a tract of land and returned to their families. Then in the fall of 1813 the families mentioned above made the journey together, requiring about one month to make the trip. It is believed by the descendants of some of these families . that on their arrival there were no residents south and east of Everton to what is now the Union and Franklin county lines. That section was then very heavily timbered, the forests abounding with fine poplar.
Coming from the same locality as the Waters family, and only a few months after, were Hanson and John Mellwain. Samuel Logan, Alex- ander Sims, and Robert T. and David Taylor. John Jemison made a permanent settlement in 1813 or 1814 and operated a tan-yard for several years. At about the same time William Beckett. a native of Ireland, emi- grated to the township and effected a permanent settlement, James Morrow. a native of North Carolina, and Jolin Milliner came from Kentucky.
Besides those already mentioned, the following became residents of the township prior to 1826: Noble Ladd, Sr., William Kobles, Thomas Waters,

EARLY INDUSTRIES.
Eli's creek was the center of all industry during the early period. The first grist-mill in the township was erected by Doctor Johnson in 1816. The mill is believed to have passed into the hands of Jonathan Wright, who, in later years, erected what was known as the Cockefair mill. In 1818 Jonathan Wright erected the first saw-mill which stood about a half mile east of the grist-mill and on the line dividing Fayette and Union counties.
John Jemison began the operation of a tannery soon after taking up permanent residence and carried on the business for almost a quarter of a century. William Evans also operated a tannery in the Beckett neighbor- hood during the early days.
On Eli creek, between the grist- and saw-mill owned by Wright, was a carding machine, and in connection with it a hominy-mill, built by Zacheus Stanton. In about 1848, Elisha Cockefair became the owner of these indus- tries and converted them into a mirror factory, which was operated for sev- eral years.
About 1846 Wilson Adams built a saw-mill and a pump factory about a half mile above the grist-mill and did an extensive business for many years.
At a very early date Sanford Keeler built a grist-mill about a mile from the mouth of Bear creek. The industry was later owned by Rev. Joseph Williams and John Lambert. North of the mill was a saw-mill built by Charles Malone and later owned by John Conwell. The mill finally fell into disuse and was supplanted by another mill of the same kind on the south fork of Bear creek, built by E. R. Lake and later owned by Wilson Adams,
247

who built the second pump establishment in the township. Adams also installed a pair of bulirs and had a little corn-cracker in connection.
About two miles north of the mouth of Bear creek, on the west fork of White Water, was the Morgan Vardiman grist-mill, which was built at a very early date.
During the early period in which stills were in existence, such were in operation on the farms of Jolin and Charles Salyer, John Baker and William Arnett.
EARLY SCHOOLS.
One of the first, if not the first, school houses in the township was the one that stood northeast of Everton in section 21. John Lee is thought to have taught a three-months school prior to 1817. Lot Green and Andrew Lewis were also early teachers.
The next school house in the township was built in section 26 and on the farm of Obediah Estis. Lot Green is thought to have been the first teacher. School was sometimes held in the old meeting-house that stood by the grave-yard on Poplar Ridge and which for a number of years served the Friends as their place of worship. An Irishman by the name of Thomas O'Brien taught several terms at this place and among his pupils were the Stantons, Truslers, Becketts, Wrights and the Wards.
In 1816 or 1817 a school was taught by David Sloan in a cabin that stood on section 19. Soon after this a log school house was built about a mile farther south in which the first teacher was Joseph Moore.
The third school house built in the township was on section 24, between two and three miles west of Everton. Robert Cathers, Robert Willis and William Eskew were early teachers. Just a little later another school house was built on section 30, on the north fork of Bear creek and John Gunn taught here for several terms.
In about 1827 or 1828 a school was taught by Travis Silvey in an abandoned dwelling that stood in section 12. Another school house of the same kind was standing just east of the Mount Zion church, around which many interesting events occurred. One of these happened while John Barnes was teaching about the year 1829. In this particular case Barnes was "barred out" and after being satisfied that he could not make an entrance was willing to submit to any kind of a compromise. The boys suggested that "Daddy" Baker, who lived close by, had a good store of winter apples and that if going for a bushel was any object the barricade would be removed. Suffice to say that the apples were forthcoming.

EVERTON.
The village of Everton is located near the center of Jackson township, seven miles southeast of the county seat, its banking point, and four miles east of Nulltown, its shipping point. The village as originally laid out was on parts of the farms of William Adams and Eli Lee, who purchased the land from the government in 1813 and 1812 respectively. The origin of the hamlet is quite obscure and bids fair to remain as such because not even tradition has been able to trace the early years of its history. The place seems to have first been named Lawstown, or Lawsburg, and then West Union. During the time it was called by the latter name an addition of twelve lots was made just south of South street, this occurring in December, 1836. In March, 1856, the county commissioners ordered that the name of the village be changed to that of Everton, which was the name given the postoffice, which had been established on November 10, 1827, with Joseph D. Thompson as postmaster. No one in the village in 1917 could explain the origin of the name Everton.
The first persons to whom the county commissioners granted license to carry on business were Thomas J. and Miles H. Larimore, merchants, in 1828: in 1829, Maria Haughton, merchant ; Thomas A. Thorn, tavern; in 1832, Thomas A. Thorn, tavern and liquor; William Beckett and Robert Taylor, groceries and liquor; in 1834, Isaac T. Riggs, tavern and liquor; in 1836, Frederick A. Curtis, tavern and liquor : 1838, Hugh Morrow, tav- ern and liquor. More than a score of different men have had mercantile establishments of one kind or another since the forties. There was a time when Everton even rivaled Connersville as a trading center. In the village itself, or within three miles of it, there were to be found in the period prior to the Civil War a shingle factory, coffin factory, pump factory (still in operation by S. E. Adams), saw-mill, wagon shop, tannery, distillery, woolen factory, grist-mill and a charcoal kiln.
The village became a corporate body, January 20, 1841, and William H. Evans was elected president of the village council and R. N. Taylor was chosen clerk. However, the town had only two separate population returns ; in 1860 it was given a population of two hundred and thirty-nine and in 1870, one hundred and forty-nine. The local records of the town during its period of incorporation have long since disappeared and it is impossible to tell when the corporation was dissolved. If. the corporation had a con- tinuous existence up to 1870, it appears that the town would have had a
240
FAYETTE COUNTY, INDIANA.
separate population return in 1850, but it does not. Returns were made separately for the town in 1860 and 1870 and as none was made in 1880. it is very evident that the corporation was dissolved some time between 1870 and 1880.
The business interests at the beginning of: 1917 were in the hands of the following: Thomas Dawson, general store: Jermain & Griffith. black- smiths; W. M. Moore, general store; E. R. Lake, farm implements; Dr. M. Ross, physician and surgeon. The Methodists have the one church in the village, E. A. Hartsaw being the pastor. The present population is about one hundred and fifteen. The postmaster is Thomas Dawson. Two rural routes, in charge of George Scott and Arthur Clark, are connected with the local postoffice.
A town hall furnishes a meeting place for all public gatherings, lodges, etc.
The government established a postoffice at Everton, November 10. 1827. Following is a list of the postmasters to date with their lengths of service : Joseph D. Thompson. 1827-1838; Robert N. Taylor, 1838-1847 : James M. Cockefair. 1847-1849: William H. Evans, 1849-1851 : Charles H. Chambers, 1851-1853: James W. Oliphant, 1853-1855: William Kerr, 1855- 1861; Allen V. Larimore, 1861-1863; James L. Miller, March 3, 1863, to March 30, 1863: William P. Adams, 1863-1864: Edwin J. Thompson, 1864- 1867: John B. Salyer, January 3. 1867-September 20, 1867; Edwin J. Thompson, 1867-1874: William Johnston, 1874-1876; John D. Lambert, 1876-93: Horace Ridge, 1893-94: Fanny Ridge, 1894-97: R. T. Taylor, 1897-08: Cornelius McGlinchey. 1908-14: Thomas Dawson, since July 14. 1914.
BENTLEY.
The little hamlet of Bentley, located in the southeastern part of Jackson township, was chosen for a postoffice in 1882. The office was established on June 27, 1882, with Ebenezer Glenn, who conducted a general store, as postmaster. Among other postmasters were Henry Trusler, Ira Trusler and "Bub" Smith. The village has no store at the present time and is on a rural route.
JENNINGS TOWNSHIP.
Jennings township, named in honor of Jonathan Jennings, then gov- ernor of the state, was one of the five townships organized by the county
250
FAYETTE COUNTY, INDIANA.
commissioners on February 9, 1819. As originally constituted its bound- aries were as follow: "Beginning at the southwest corner of section 16, township 13, range 13: thence north to the northwest corner of section 21, township 14, range 13; thence east along the line dividing sections 21 and 16 to the boundary line (Indian boundary line of 1795) ; thence south along said boundary to the southeast corner of fractional section 18; thence west to the place of beginning." Thus the township included, in addition to its present territory, a considerable strip of Union county, now parts of Liberty and Harmony townships of the latter county. Upon the organ- ization of Union county, January 5, 1821, Jennings township was left with its present limits.
When the county was organized, February 9, 1819, all of the land in this township had been entered with the exception of the northeast quarter of section 15, this tract being entered by William P. and James A. Belton on November 18, 1831. The complete list of land entries of the entire township is as follows:
