GUILFORD TOWNSHIP.
DESCRIPTION. --- DRAINAGE. - EARLY SETTLEMENT. - FIRST POLITICAL CAMPAIGN .- POLITICAL HISTORY .-- TOWNSHIP OFFICIALS. -- PROP- ERTY AND TAXATION .- PLAINFIELD .- BUSINESS, SCHOOLS, CHURCHES AND SOCIETIES. - BIOGRAPHICAL ..
The township of Guilford, the only one of the size of a Congres- sional township, occupies the southeastern corner of the county, and is bounded as follows: On the north by Washington Township, on the east by Marion County, on the south by Morgan County, and or che west by Liberty Township. It has the best natural drair age of any part of Hendricks County. White Lick passes thi ough its center, the East Fork through the east side, Clark's Creek between them, and the West Fork and a small tributary to it passes through the west side. The uplands are only gently roll- ing, and are generally quite fertile, while along each of these streams are valleys of unsurpassed fertility. In these streams is gravel enough to macadamize all the roads in the county, and along their banks is grown corn enough to feed a city. Much of the upland along the Middle and the East forks was originally cov- ered with walnut, poplar and maple trees, and is almost as good as bottom land. The only land in Guilford Township which may be called second rate for Hendricks County, is along the water- shed between the East Fork and Clark's Creek, and on the high- hands on the west side of the West Fork; and any one who will pass along the ridge will be able to controvert the idea that oak timber is growing scarce in this county.
FIRST SETTLERS.
Guilford was the first settled township in the county, and its oc- cupancy dates back to 1820. In that year Samnel Herriman, James Dunn, Bat Ramsey, Harris Bay, John W. Bryant, and George Moore settled on White Lick, south of Plainfield, near the Morgan County line. Some of these settlers raised some corn and potatoes in 1820. In the spring of 1821 Noah Kellum, Thomas (607)

60S HISTORY OF HENDRICKS COUNTY.
Lockhart, & Mr. Plummer and Felix Belzer settled ou the East Fork, and Matthew Lowder, Elias Hadley, Jesse Hockett and Rob- ert Tomlinson, on White Liek, south of Plainfield. In the spring of 1823 David Carter settled in the northern part of the township, and was the first to locate in the neighborhood of Plainfield. In the same year, James Downard settled on the State farm.
The settling-up of Guilford Township was more rapid than that of any other portion of the county, so that in 1824 it contained more populatien than the other townships combined. A very large majority of the early comers were Friends. The township was named by Samuel Jessup, in honor of Guilford County, N. C., whence a large number of its settlers immigrated.
FIRST ELECTIONS.
Samuel Jessup was the first Justice of the Peace in Guilford Township and Hendricks County. He was elected in the autumn of 1822, under the jurisdiction of Morgan County, to which Hen- dri ks County was attached for two years for judicial purposes, be- fre its organization. Mr. Jessup's election was the result of the " first politieal campaign in the county. John and Samuel Jessup, on East Fork, were candidates, and Gideon Wilson, up by Shiloh, was also a candidate. There were fifteen voters below and eight up in Mr. Wilson's neighborhood. A caucus was held in the Fair- field neighborhood, and it was found that there would be no elec- tion if all the candidates remained in the field, and as Samuel had the most votes, it was decided that John should withdraw from the race, which he did, and Samnel was elected.
The poll-book of the first general election held in Guilford Town- ship (Aug. 7, 1826, at the house of John Jessup) gives a list of forty-two voters, which is here copied in full, as the best possible catalogue of the early settlers: Timothy Jessup, Thomas Lock- hart, James MeClure, John White, Noah Kellum, Isaac Sanders, Harmon Iliatt, Adin Ballard, Benjamin Sanders, Henry Bland, Robbert Tomblinson, Joseph Chandler, John Hiatt, Elihu Jackson, Joseph Ballard, Charles Reynolds, Prat W. Jessup, Joseph Jessup, Joel Jessup, John Hawkins, Lee Jessup, Abijah Pinson, John Jes- sup, Joseph P. Jessup, Lev: Cook, Henry Reynolds, Timothy H. Jessup, James C. Tomblinson, Joseph Cloud, John Lemon, John Carson, David Stutesman, James Ritter, William Merritt, Solomon Edmunson, John Ballard, David Ballard, Robert Lemon, Joseph Hiatt, Jesse Kellum, Thomas R. Ballard and John Burris. The

vote in this township at that eleetion was as follows: For Con- gressma", Thomas H. Blake, thirty-seven; Ratliff Boon, three. For Senator, Josiah F. Polk, twenty-one; Calvin Fletcher, four- teen; John W. Redding, two. For Representative, Thomas J. Matlock, thirty-nine; Isaiah Drury, two. For Sheriff, Robert Cooper, thirty-nine. For Coroner, James McClure, fifteen.
Two years later, at the presidential election of 1828, the number of votes had increased to seventy-two, of which number John Quincy Adams received sixty-nine and Andrew Jackson only three.
Another interesting election return bears date of April 5, 1852. The township voted on the question of granting liquor license, and seventy-nine votes were cast against the proposition, while not one was given for it.
POLITICAL.
Few communities in the world are as unequally divided in politi- cal senti nent as Guilford, which has been almost unanimous in its loyalt to the Whig party and its successor, the Republican party. The largest number of votes ever given the Democratic ticket was fifty-two, in 1836. In 1864, Lincoln received 575 votes, and McClelland.one. Following is the vote for President at each elec- tion since 1828:
