ADAMS TOWNSHIP.
ADAMS TOWNSHIP.
ADAMS TOWNSHIP is bounded on the north by Tipton county, on the east by Jackson township, on the south by Washington, and on the west by Boone and Clinton counties, being situated in the northwest corner of the county, and contains 48 square miles. Among many it is supposed to be the third township in the county. The surface is level, the soil fertile, and its princi- pal timber is burr oak, walnut, poplar, and ash, with a fair sup- ply of beech, sugar, and elm. It has several clear streams run- ning through it, the chief of which is Cicero, with numerous ditches, which are filled with stock water throughout most of the year. There are three post-offices in the township, and two lively villages-Boxley and Sheridan-both of which are voting precincts. .
The first settlement of the township was on the spot where Boxley now stands. George Boxley's family gave name to the village, and Addison Boxley was the first postmaster. The first Justices of the Peace were Reuben Tanzey and James Lackey. Boxley was laid out in 1836. The old residence of George Boxley still stands a relic of the olden years. It is beautifully surrounded with a domestic forest of pine, cedar and fruit trees, evidences of both taste and utility: Boxley is incor- porated, and contains a population of about 200.
Sheridan also contains about 200 inhabitants, although it is only of recent growth. It is well worthy of notice for the en- ergy. of its business men, and for its village enterprise.
The lumber and stave business of the place is very considera-

ble. There are perhaps 13 miles of gravel road in the township.
T. B. Spencer claims to have split the first rails, built the first cabin, and to have made the first clearing in the township.
Among the first settlers of this township were George Box- ley, Washington Mckenzie, Samuel McMustry, Thomas Jones, J. A. Mclaughlin and John McKinzie, who have all passed away. Those yet living are Coleman Burton, Samuel Burton, Eber Teter, and John Moore. The family of the latter make one of the first of the township in intelligence, enterprise and good sound constitutions.
