one hundred and twenty acres of land, on section six, in Raisin. He immediately moved upon this land, put up a log house, and has lived there ever since. The land was heavily timbered, and he was obliged to cut a road two miles through the woods before he could get his team and goods through. He built a log house, but made a "grand mistake " in locating, building on the wrong side of the section line. This fact was soon discovered by the wily and watchful speculators, and shortly after he had got com- fortably into his new house, about five o'clock one afternoon, a neighboring settler-Gideon Bryant-found his way through the woods, and informed him of his mistake, and told him that a man named Derbyshire had gone to Monroe to enter the lot on which his house was built, and advised him to start at once for Monroe. Derbyshire had started that morning with a load of wheat drawn by a yoke of cattle. Mr. Lanning had but fifty dollars in money to live upon until he could raise a crop, but he finally concluded to "trust to luck," and get to Monroe before Derbyshire if he could, and started immediately. He passed Derbyshire during the night, secured the land, and saved his house and little clearing, but with only five dollars in money left. He says it was hard to get along then but he never regretted it, after he got a start. The second year of his residence here he and his family were on the verge of starvation for the want of flour. The mill at Tecumseh could not grind enough for the settlers, people coming with their " grists " for forty miles, and everybody was obliged to take his " turn " in grinding, and before Mr. Lanning's turn came he was destitute of everything but potatoes and pork. He finally went to the mill, and stayed, assisting the miller one day and one night, before he could get his flour, the miller " slipping the grist in be- tween," about three o'clock in the morning. February 12th, 1830, he married Miss Margaret Bodine, daughter of Peter Bodine, of Ovid, Seneca county, New York, by whom he had four children, as follows: George, born August 6th, 1831, of Fairfield, this county ; Rachel Ann, born February 18th, 1833, wife of William Allen, farmer of Macon; Mary E., born March 30th, 1837, wife William Mattis, a farmer of Franklin ; Peter B., born February 20th, 1840, died June 5th, 1840. Mrs. Margaret Lanning was born in Ovid, Seneca county, New York, July 18th, 1808, and died February 25th, 1840. May 31st, 1847, he married Miss Maria Dalley, daughter of Julius and Martha Dalley, of Reading- ton, Hunterdon county, New Jersey, by whom he has had two children, as follows: Martha H., born March 3d, 1848, wife of Chauncy Vedder, a farmer of Raisin ; Joseph, born February 20th, 1843, a farmer of Macon. Mrs. Maria Lanning was born

The same year he went to the village of Clinton, in the employ of S. R. Green, where he remained some two years, working upon the J. Payne, house and " Atlas Mill," owned by Mr. Payne. In the years 1839-40 he built a" large frame house for his uncle William, in the town of Franklin, as well as one for Hon. John J. Adam, in the same town. Mr. Bradley was married to Miss Laura W.

About the first work done after forming this co-partnership, was the building of a furnace for E. H. Winans, and a dwelling house for Ira Bidwell, now owned by Dr. V. A. Baker. The partnership with Mr. Green lasted about two years and was dissolved, Mr. Bradley continuing the business alone up to 1851, when he formed a partnership with Daniel A. Loomis. They soon after commenced building the Episcopal church, on the corner of Maumee and Broad streets, and the central school building on Maumee street, afterwards burned ; Also the railroad machine shops and engine house were built by them.

- TILLIAM LOVETT was born in Warwick, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, August 3d, 1822. His father, John Lovett, was born in the same county, in 1791. He was a farmer, and owned a large farm in Pennsylvania, where he lived until the fall of 1830. In 1829 he came to Michigan, and located in Raisin, this county, three hundred and twenty acres of land, on section nine. He then returned to Pennsylvania. In the fall of 1830 he came back with his family, and settled on his land, subse- quently adding to his original purchase, until he owned one thousand and five acres. This was the finest purchase, without a doubt, that had ever been made in Michigan, at that time, and we doubt if there was a better thousand acres of land in the State than was contained in this farm. No prairie in Illinois, Wisconsin, or Iowa, can be any more beautiful or productive than this land is to-day. With the exception of about ten acres, the entire tract is tillable, without creek, swamp, or broken land, and presents the appearance of a vast lawn and garden spot. It is now owned by

different parties, and many of the finest farm dwelling houses in the county are standing on the land, or adjacent to it, and the entire expanse of country presents a landscape rarely found for natural beauty and productiveness. Mr. Lovett was a man of rare attainments and foresight, and when he first saw this beauti- ful plateau and beheld its marvelous beauty, at once secured it. He came from Pennsylvania with his own teams, which consisted of three wagons and seven horses. He was six weeks on the road, and passed one night in the mud of the Black swamp, in Ohio. After his arrival here he at once commenced clearing his land, and getting out rails and lumber, spending the entire winter at this work. In the spring he fenced one hundred and sixty acres of land, and put in twenty-five acres of corn, besides some oats, potatoes, and other garden stuff-this was all burr oak openings land. That fall he put in fifty acres of wheat. During that spring-1830-he built a barn, one side of which he used for a house, and the other side for his horses. That summer he erected a large frame house, which is still standing. In 1832 he put in one hundred acres of wheat, and in 1833 he put in one hundred and fifty acres of wheat. During the summer of 1834 he erected a barn with stone foundation and an underground stable 50x90 feet, which is still standing, and owned by James Colvin. This was the first barn raised in the county without whiskey. He lived there until 1849, at which time he had improved and cropped five hundred and sixty acres, and accumulated considerable money, besides increasing largely the value of his land, as well as that of all his neighbors. He was a notoriously good neighbor, a kind and charitable citizen, and a consistent member of the Presbyterian church. In the spring of 1849 he went to California, where he died, January 7th, 1850. [See Z. Cook's record]. In 1820 he married Miss Elizabeth Riley, of Philadelphia, daughter of John and Lydia Riley, of New Jersey, by whom he had nine children, four sons and five daughters, one dying in infancy. Mrs. Elizabeth Lovett was born in New Jersey, March 15th, 1801, and died in Raisin, August 14th, 1865. William Lovett was brought up a farmer, and received a good common school education. He stayed with his father until he was twenty-one years old, when he came into possession of eighty acres of land, with a good house and barn, it being a part of his father's original purchase, and he still resides there, the only male representative of his family in Lenawee county. January 17th, 1844, he married Miss Menervia McRay, daughter of John S. and Sarah Ann McRay, of Raisin, by whom he has had two children, both sons, as follows : William C., born in Raisin, December 10th, 1846, and died June 25th, 1866 ;

After a short time he engaged to work for John Osborn, who then carried on a wagon and blacksmith shop, and about the 1st of February, 1838, he bought Mr. Osborn out and carried on the business himself until some time in 1846. At this time he pur- chased the e. ¿ , of the n. e. 4, of section ten, in Raisin, where he now resides. His ancestors, as far back as he has any knowledge, have been members of the society of Friends, and he is now a member of that society. May 18th, 1843, he married Miss Mary Comfort, daughter of Aaron Comfort, of Raisin, by whom he has had six children, four sons and two daughters, as follows : Edwin, born July 23d, 1844, a resident of Wyandotte, Kansas; Marthanna, born July 17th, 1846, wife of Calvin W.
