CLAY TOWNSHIP.
The early settlements of this part of the county were made between the years 1825 and 1831, and among those who should be held in grateful remembrance by posterity for undergoing the privations and hardships of pioneer life, might be mentioned the names of George C. Brightman, Josiah Bryant. Caleb Johnson, Obadiah Tincher, George Tincher, Nicholas Osborn, William Benbow, Newby Hunt, Jesse Hodson, John Cosner, George Hancock, John Moon, William Thomas, Thomas Ray, and Abraham West.

ORGANIZATION.
By an act of the Board of County Commissioners, March 3, 1845, Clay township was organized into a separate incorporation, and was taken from the townships of Franklin and Marion, and contains very nearly twenty-four square miles. The County Commissioners at this time were, Gudlow Walker, Ebenezer L. Watson and Simon Hornaday.
IMPROVEMENTS
There are about ten miles of railroad track extending through the township; three miles of the Indianapolis and St. Louis line, valued by the appraisement of 1873 at $50,410, and about seven miles of the Terre Haute and Indianapolis, valued at $120, 115. Total value of railroad property $170,525. And under the same assessment the value of real estate and personal property in the township was $843,621, making a total of $1, 014, 246. It will therefore appear that the railroad incorporations are liable for the payment of about 17 per cent. of the burden of taxation.
POPULATION.
By the census of 1870 there were 1568 persons in the town- ship, and the population October 1873, was 1658. That of Coatsville 340, and Amo 280.
