EACON OLIVER HOTCHKISS was born in Shelby, Orleans county, N. Y., August 5, 1828. His father, Dea- con Cook Hotchkiss, was born in Cheshire, Conn., Septem- ber 14, 1797, and went to Delaware county, N. Y., with his parents before he was twenty years old. He experienced, religion in Homer, N. Y., when he was twenty, and subsequently united with the Baptist church, in Medina, N. Y., where he served in the office of deacon. He was a blacksmith by trade, and carried on a

shop in the village of Medina for several years, until the spring of 1834, when he came to Michigan, in company with John Knapp. They traveled the entire distance on foot, in the month of March, and located together 320 acres of land on section 2, in Medina township, where the village of Medina now stands. After locat- ing their land they immediately returned to New York, traveling on foot as far as Buffalo. About the 1st of May they again started for Michigan with their families and all their effects, com- ing by their own teams, arriving in Adrian June 2d. Mr. Hotch- kiss remained in Adrian, working for Gabriel Todd until January 1, 1835, when he moved on his land in Medina, the purchase which he and Mr. Knapp made there having then been equally divided. Mr. Hotchkiss at once put up a blacksmith shop, mak- ing a frame of poles, which he covered with shakes, it being the first shop in the township. Mr. Knapp built his house during the sumnier of 1834, which was the first in the village of Medina. Charles Prisby came in during that fall, and built his house about the time that Mr. Hotchkiss did his. The village was subse- quently platted, upon the land of Hotelikiss and Knapp, princi- pally upon that belonging to Knapp, and was naned by them. During Mr. Hotchkiss' residence in Adrian hie united with the Baptist church, and was one of the organizers of the Baptist church at Medina village in 1836, serving as a deacon until his death. He was the first justice of the peace in Medina. He was a man of more than ordinary ability, and was one of the most use- ful of men in a newly settled country. Upright in deal, able in counsel and dignified in manner, he exerted more than a common influence in the community. He was a Christian in every sense of the word, and never flagged in well doing. He never failed to visit all neighbors, and especially new comers. He made it his business to find out the condition a family was in when they first settled on their land, and if he learned they were in need of any- thing he could supply, he carried it to theni, not even asking them to come and get it. It should be known that many of the lowly pioneers of Lenawee had a certain degree of pride about them, and often suffered before they would make their wants known. Mr. Hotchkiss realized this fact, and bore his alms to them. He was well known by every carly settler of the Bean Creek Valley, his house being a meeting-house, alms-house and resting place for all, and no man was ever more sincerely mourned by an entire conl- munity than was he at the tinie of his death, August 28, 1839, after an illness of only one week. December 29, 1818, Cook Hotelikiss married Sally Jewell, by whom he had six children, as follows: Harriet, born January 19, 1820, now the widow of John

OSEPH BELKNAP, JR., was born in Stafford, Mass., April 25, 1790, and was the son of Joseph and Ruth (Pres- ton) Belknap, Sr., also natives of Stafford. The ancestors of the Belknap family came from Ireland and settled in Massa- chusetts. The Preston family are of English extraction, and early settlers of New England. Joseph Belknap, Jr., was one of a large family, residing with his parents until he was about fourteen years old, when he went to Boston and resided with an uncle until he was about twenty years old, and where he received a very good

education. In 1810 he removed to Turin, Lewis county, N. Y., where his parents had previously settled in the wilderness. Joseph lived with his parents there, assisting in clearing up the farm for two years. He resided there until 1814, having married in the meantime, when he returned to Massachusetts and settled in Mun- son, Hampden county, residing there about five years. In 1819 he again returned to Turin, N. Y., where he purchased a farm, and carried on a prosperous dairy business, residing there until the fall of 1830, when he sold out and came to Michigan, purchasing a farm in the town of Adrian, this county, where he resided over thirty years. He cleared up this farm, built good buildings, and made a good home. The farm is located about one mile north of Adrian city limits. At the time of his settlement there his neighbors were Carey Rogers, just opposite; Henry Roe and Anson Howell, a little west and north; Captain James Whitney, one mile south. There were only a few houses in the village of Adrian at that time. All supplies had to be brought in from Monroe, Mr. Bel- knap, Captain Whitney and Carey Rogers all having good ox teams, spent a good deal of time during the first two or three years in bringing in goods and provisions. On one occasion they went to Detroit for fruit, returning after a two weeks' trip with three wagon loads of green and dried apples, which were soon disposed of at good prices. The only butter-maker then was Mrs. Kedzie, in Blissfield (now Deerfield), who made an excellent article at twenty- five cents per pound. The three families, Belknap, Whitney and Rogers, engaged all she could spare one season, and Mr. Belknap made a special trip to her house upon one occasion, for fear he should fail getting a supply. Mr. Belknap was an earnest man, and in all public matters took an active interest. He assisted in organizing schools, churches, etc., giving liberally of his time and means. The first church organized in Adrian was the Methodist, next the Presby- terian, and December 31, 1831, the Baptist church was organized, with the following members: J. Rickey, Reuben Tooker, B. F. Gouldsbury, John H. Carpenter, John Whitney, J. S. Older, John Myers, Allen Hutchins, J. T. Carpenter, G. Noyes, David Wiley, Maria Hutchins, Lydia Whitney, Delia Older, Eliza Gouldsbury, Lydia Thurston, Eunice Rickey, Lucy French, Elizabeth Parker, Cynthia Upton, Elizabeth Carpenter, Amy Fitch, Lois Stone, Nancy Rickey. The first preacher was the Rev. Mr. Bodley. March 26, 1812, Joseph Belknap, Jr., married Parnal Davis, daughter of Jesse and Mary Davis, of Munson, Mass., by whom he had seven children, as follows: Mary B., born in Turin, N.

HOMAS W. DAVIS was born in the town of Tiverton, County of Devon, England, April 10, 1805. His father, Thomas Davis, was born in the same town, June 4, 1758; his mother was born in the year 1762, also in the same town. Thomas Davis was a merchant tailor, and carried on that business a life time, and died in his native place, July 6, 1838. Mrs. Davis died some years before. Thomas W. Davis lived at home, going to school, antil he was eleven years of age, and worked for his father until the age of sixteen, when he went to the city of Bristol, and shipped aboard of a steam packet, which ran between Bristol and Newport, South Wales, where he remained two years, when he went to Lampeter, Cardinshire, North Wales, where he lived. two years more, and returned to the city of Bristol and engaged in a lumber yard, and remained in that business until he was twenty-five years of age. September 11, 1830, Mr. Davis was married to Miss Charlotte Davey, daughter of Thomas and Nancy Davey, of the city of Bridgewater, England, and soon after moved to the city of Bath. By this marriage three children were born, two sons and one daugh- ter, the daughter dying in infancy. Thomas J., the oldest son, was born in the city of Bath, September 21, 1835. Joseph Henry, the youngest son, was also born at Bath, July 21, 1839. In the summer of 1841 Mr. Davis emigrated with his family to America, landing in New York, where he remained until fall, when he came

to Adrian, arriving the 8th day of October of that year. He immediately went to work in the warehouse of Wing & Rice, where he stayed two years. Since that time Mr. Davis has been engaged in various pursuits, such as moving buildings, digging wells, building cisterns, &c. Mrs. Davis was born in the city of Bridgewater, July 30, 1812. Thomas J., the oldest son, married Miss Erilla Brown, daughter of John S. and Sarah Brown, of Adrian, May 15, 1861, and still lives in that city, in the employ of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railway as foreman in the tin shop, where he has been for nearly twenty years. Joseph Henry, the youngest son, was a machinist, and was also in the employ of the same road up to the time of his death, which occurred at Elkhart, Ind., May 16, 1872. Thomas W. Davis has always been a hard-working man, and by the assistance of an industrious wife they have succeeded in procuring a nice property, which they live to enjoy. They reside on the same property, which they purchased in the year 1843. The older residents can hardly realize the change that has been made in the location and surroundings of their residence since that time. Mr. Davis has always been an enterprising man, and given liberally towards many public enterprises.

ILAS HOLLOWAY was born in Ashfield, Mass., February 14, 1812, residing there and in Conway until he was about five years old, when his father, Dr. William Holloway, removed to York, Livingston county, N. Y. The family resided in York until 1826, when the Doctor removed to Pendleton, Niagara county, living there until the fall of 1833, when he emi- grated to Michigan and settled in Raisin.

HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD
he married Paulina Fairchild, of Lockport, N. Y., who came to Michigan and survived the Doctor many years. Silas Holloway has always followed farming since he was old enough to work. He came to Michigan in the fall of 1832, and settled in Raisin, where, with his brothers William and Edwin, he took up 160 acres of government land, and purchased 320 acres adjoining on sections 23 and 26. During the winter of 1832-3 Silas chopped and cleared eleven acres, and built a log house on the corner, where his brother Butler's house now stands, which was the first improvement made on the land. Silas resided there until the spring of 1841, when he moved to another farm on section 16, residing until the spring of 1844, when he sold out his interests in Raisin, and purchased a farm on sections 2 and 11, in Dover, where he resided ten years. He then sold, and in 1855 he pur- chased of Joseph Hagaman 160 acres on section 34, in Adrian township, where he resided until 1866, when he sold out and pur- chased a house and lot on State street, in Adrian, where he has resided ever since. He now owns a valuable farm on section 31, in Adrian. Mr. Holloway was one of the first settlers of Raisin, and saw the township in its primitive state. The land that the brothers secured was on the edge of the openings, as they believed that the timbered land would always be the best grass land, and the most productive for all purposes. During the first year pro- visions were scarce, and they went to Tecumseh and purchased a barrel of pork, paying $25 for it. It was what was then known as "one hog" pork, i. e., one hog comprised all there was in the barrel, including the feet, head, etc. They were very fortunate in regard to killing deer. The timbered land east of them abounded in all kinds of wild animals, such as deer, wolves, bear, etc. Dur- ing the night the deer would go from the timber land to the open- ings to feed upon the grass, and return to the timber about day- light each morning, when it was no trouble for a marksman to secure a supply of venison. When the country was new it was a beautiful sight to pass through the openings land, especially in the months of May and June. The wild flowers and Michigan roses made the scene almost one of enchantment. Each year a fire burnt over the openings land during the early spring. A grass that grew from five to six feet in hight, completely covered the surface, especially in the valleys and low places, which when burned off nade fire enough to destroy everything except the large trees, the fire extending to the timber line, where the moisture and marshy surface stopped its ravages. It was not until after the Indians left this county, and the annual burning over was stopped that the young timber was allowed to grow, and it is upon these

Atwater, daughter of Phineas and Nancy (Fairchild) Atwater, of Burlington, Vt., by whom he has had five children, as follows: Harriet L., born in Raisin, September 21, 1840, now the wife of Harvey Hood, of Rome, this county; William A., born in Lock- port, N. Y., May 12, 1843, now a farmer of Adrian township; Mary Z., born in Dover, this county, August 24,1845, now the wife of Charles W. Bradley, of Princeton, Ill .; Sarah A., born same place, October 4, 1850, now the wife of D. C. Sinclair, of Troy, Kansas; Lucius L., born same place, June 3, 1854, now a merchant of Hastings, Mich.
