CLAYTON.
CLAYTON includes the division of land known on the United States survey as township 7 north, in range 5 east, of the principal meridian of Michigan. It was set off from Flushing, of which it had previously comprised a part, and organized as a separate township, by an act of the Michigan Legislature approved March 25, 1846. It lies in the een- tre of the western tier of townships in the county of Gen- esce, and, with the exception of a few slight undulations, is generally level. The soil is of the nature peculiar to this part of Michigan, and from the appearance of the farms and their improvements-Clayton is exclusively an agricultural township-the inference is that its fertility is beyond ques- tion. Originally the township was covered with a dense forest, where the nightly howl of the wolf resounded ; where the lithe panther often lurked; where bears found safe retreats; where the pride of the forest-the deer-had his home; and where the red man was the only human being who trod its mazes, "ambushed his foe, and stalked his game." A more herculean task than that of clearing away this sturdy greenwood, and preparing the pleasant farms which to-day dot the surface, can scarcely be im- agined. It was only the indomitable will and perseverance of the pioneers, coupled with their ability to undergo a long and severe toil, with all its attendant hardships, that accom- plished the mighty work. That it was accomplished is the pride of the actors in the scenes, and the history of its ac- cómplishment it is the purpose of these pages to relate,- the story having been learned from the lips of those who, axe in hand and rifle on shoulder, marched conquering through the wilderness.
But very few of the first settlers of Clayton are at present residing within its limits, and at this day it will be ac- knowledged impossible to garner so great a store of fact and incident as might have been done before so many of the carlier arrivals had fallen into their last long sleep or re- moved to more remote localities. It was very seldom the case that a person who settled carly in any part of the coun- try kept any account of his life at the time, or of arrivals of others who beeame his neighbors, and in the absence of all facts except those that memory recalls the supply is very meagre. Yet the record that is here presented will, it is hoped, be accepted as the best which could be compiled at so late a time, and credit will surely be given for the comparatively large amount which has been gathered.
LAND ENTRIES.
It is believed an excellent plan to present a record of the land entries in the township complete, and the list is sub- joined. From the books it appears that no entries were made in what is now Clayton earlier than the month of January, 1836, when Robert Mathers, of Wayne Co.,
Mich., located the northeast part of the northeast fractional quarter of section 1,-a trifle over 51 acres. Cornelius Pierson, from the same county, entered 120 acres on the same section in February, 1836, and Thomas L. L. Brent, of Virginia, purchased on this and other sections in Mareh of the same year. Brent afterwards settled in the northern part of Flushing township, and is well remembered by many now living in the county. Particular mention of him and his operations will be found in the history of the township of Flushing.

CLAYTON TOWNSHIP.
EARLY SETTLERS.
The locality known as the " Miller settlement" was the first in what now constitutes Clayton township to receive the attention of settlers. In June, 1836, Adam Miller, from Livingston Co., N. Y. (from Germany in 1795), made a trip here and eutered land, returning to New York for his family, bringing them back in August following. There was then' not a person living on the route between their land and Flint, and part of Mr. Miller's family re- mained in the latter place until some time in September, or a sufficient time to allow him and his sons to prepare a shanty for their reception. This was erected very nearly where the Methodist church now stands, on section 35, and the next season a log house of fair dimensions was built a short distance farther west. Mr. Miller was ac- companied from New York by his wife and three sons,- Joseph, David A., and Enos M. Two other sons, Peter and Daniel, followed in the fall of 1837, and all but two of the sons located land for themselves, partly in Clayton, and partly in Gaines, living, however, in the former. Of the Miller family, one son, Enos M. Miller, lives in the town- ship, and two daughters are yet in the county,-Mrs. John Hartsock in Clayton, and Mrs. Rev. J. C. McAllister in Flint. Rev. Daniel Miller, an early local preacher in the Methodist denomination in the vicinity of the settlement, is now a resident of the town of Glen Arbor, Leelanau Co., Mich., where he was sent on missionary services.
Adam Miller was the first settler in the township of Clayton. From Flint he chopped a road through to his place over nearly the route which afterwards became the " Miller Road." In the spring of 1837 he sowed probably the first grain in the township,-spring wheat, oats, etc. Ilis death occurred in March, 1841. ITis son, Enos M. Miller, resides on a part of the old homestead.
The second settler in this part of the township was John M. Nash, who located on the northeast quarter of section 34 in February, 1837. Ile was also from the State of' New York.
John Hartsock, also from Livingston Co., N. Y., settled in the spring of 1837, soon after the arrival of Nash.
Seth Silsby, Emir Woodin, and Seth Hathaway all set- tled in the same neighborhood in the fall of 1837, and a man named Finch had previously-in 1836 or 1837-10- cated in the northeast part of town. A son of the latter was the first white child born in the township. A son was born a few months later-in the fall of 1837-in the family of Thomas Nash.
Sedgwick P. Stedman, an early settler in the township, left Canada during the famous Patriot war excitement, 1837-38, and during his residence here held the office of justice of the peace. He is now living in the township of Argentine.
The first road in the Miller settlement neighborhood was the one now extending from the asylum at Flint out through the former place, where it becomes a township-line ro:ul between Clayton and Gaines. It is known as the " Miller Road."
James Ottaway and Joseph Burbridge, from England, settled near the centre of the township in 1837, and Mr. Burbridge still resides upon the place he then located. In
1839, Mr. Ottaway's brothers, Stephen and George Ottaway, direct from England, settled in the township with their families, and another brother-John-followed with his family in the summer of 1810. Stephen Ottaway was the father of the present town clerk. James Ottaway was un- married at the time of his settlement. These four brothers are all deceased; the widows of Stephen and George are yet living in the township.
In the northwest part of the town is what is known as the " Lyons settlement." Four brothers, William, Isaac, Daniel B., and Abram II. Lyons (latter died in 1877), in company with Jacob HI. Coddington and John C. Clement, came from Tompkins Co., N. Y., to Flint, Mich., in August, 1836, and in the winter of 1839, Isaac Lyons, Coddington, and Clement moved into the township of Clayton, and set- tled in the locality bearing the name mentioned. Mr. Lyons still lives on the old place, Mr. Coddington at Flushing, and Mr. Clement is dead ; his widow resides in Flint. The two younger Lyons brothers, D. B. and A. HI. Lyons, were not married when they came to the county. The former * is now engaged in mercantile pursuits at Flint.
When Isaac Lyons moved into this township his nearest neighbor on the east was Robert H. Wallace, distant four miles, and the latter is yet living in the township with his son, Theron Wallace, who came with him. James losie lived a little farther away, in Flushing. James E. Brown moved into Clayton in 1840, and was also cast of Lyons. Ile was one of the most prominent men in town, and held the office of supervisor for many years.
Isaac Lyons, Sr., the father of the brothers named, pur- ehased ten eighty-acre lots in Clayton from the government. He and his wife both died in Flint. His son, Isaac Lyons, Esq., now of Clayton, helped build the first bridge across Swartz Creek, in 1836, within the limits of what is now Flint City. This was on the Asylum, or Miller, road. When, in 1838, Isaac Lyons, with his brothers-in-law,- Coddington and Clement,-came into Clayton to build their log houses, they were three days on the way, having to cut their road. The pine timber necessary for their use they procured from a pine grove in what is now the Fourth Ward of Flint.
Isaac Lyons helped also to build the old " Genesee House," in Flint, for Thomas J. Drake, on what is now Detroit Street, in that city.
Mr. Lyons built a log blacksmith shop on the corner of his place in Clayton, where his present frame shop stands, and, especially on stormy days, had all the business in the blacksmithing line that he could attend to. This was the only shop of the kind within a large radius, none being then in existence even at Flushing. Mr. Lyons thinks the first blacksmithing at the latter place was done by himself, about 1812, he being employed in repairing mill-irons, etc., in Seymour's mill. Pine-trees near by were cut down and their tops made into charcoal, which was used in the forge. Mr. Lyons has held the office of justice of the peace since the organization of the township of Clayton, in 1846.
Albert Granger, William Goyer, and Richard C. Goyer all settled in the township about 1840-12. R. C. Goyer
$ This geoffeman leaves off the final letter as above, writing his name Lyon.

IIISTORY OF GENESEE COUNTY, MICHIGAN.
married a sister of Mr. Granger, and the latter married a sister of Isaac Lyons, Esq., who is now deceased. These three men were sailors, and for several seasons after moving there followed their calling on the Western lakes. R. C. Goyer is now in Flushing, and William resides in Flint.
James W. Cronk was one of the carly settlers of the town- ship also. He was a good surveyor, and aided many of the settlers in locating their land. He and his son, Norton Cronk, entered the service during the Mexican war, and the elder died in Mexico. Ilis father, Col. James Cronk, located land on the east side of the turnpike, in what is now Flint City. IIe held a colonel's commission in the war of IS12, whenee his title.
E. W. Fenner and James Glass, living east of Lyons Corners, are among the later arrivals in the township.
South of the Miller settlement, in the township of Gaines, maple timber grew in abundance along the branch of Swartz Creek, which flows through that locality, and the Indians congregated there annually for the purpose of making maple- sugar. A well-worn trail extended from Flint, but went no farther than the " sugar camp." This trail the Millers fol- lowed when they came into the township. Maple-sugar is made in the neighborhood yet to a small extent.
" Erin's green isle" sent a number of her sons to become residents of Clayton, and several are yet living in the town- ship. The first of this nationality to settle here were Ber- nard Lennon and Patrick Conlen, who left Ireland about 1833-34 and emigrated to the United States. They first lived in the State of New York, afterwards in Ohio, and about 1838-40 moved to Clayton. Mr. Conten still lives where he settled at that time. Mr. Lennon is deceased, and his family has removed from the township. A nephew, Peter Lennon, Clayton's present supervisor, lives next south of his unele's former home. Messrs. Conlen and Lennon both married sisters of Michael Donahoo, now living in town, the former before leaving Ireland, and the latter after.
Michael Donahoo, Esq., from the North of Ireland, eame to America in 1845, and proceeded at onee to Genesee Co., Mich., whither those mentioned and others had pre- ceded him, and in September of that year purchased land in Clayton, opposite his present residence, afterwards buying the site of the latter. The property had been originally located by Daniel Harding, but he had made no improve- ments upon it. It passed through several other hands before it was purchased by Mr. Donahoo, who made the first im- provements. He built a log house on the north side of the road (not amounting to much as a road then ) ; the old strue- ture has totally disappeared. His present frame residence is on the south side. Mr. Douahoo's mother, who left Ireland with him. died on the passage across the ocean. His wife also accompanied him, they having no children at that time. His two brothers, John and Peter Donahoo, came at the same time, and purchased land in the vicinity. Both are since deceased.
Bernard Traynor, who married a sister of Mr. Donahoo, came with the latter and located cast of him, in the same neighborhood. He is now deceased. llis sons, Paul and Michael Traynor, are both residents of the township.
Three brothers, William, Peter, and John Carton, settled about 1842 in the northern part of the township, and of
these John Carton is the only one yet living here. He resides on the same farm where he then settled. Peter Carton is dead and William went to California, sinee when nothing has been heard from him, and he is also supposed to be dead.
Patrick Bradley located four miles east of Lyons Cor- ners at an early day. IIe is also deceased, but has children residing in the county.
" Squire" Donahoo has been favored with numerous offices by the citizens of Clayton, and for nearly twenty years has been a magistrate. When he came to the township he thinks there was but one team of horses in it, except a span of ponies owned by Daniel Miller, although several owned one horse. For teaming oxen were used universally. No road extended nearer than three miles away from Mr. Dona- hoo's place, other than where the underbrush had been trimmed down, and in a dark night it was necessary to feel the way to avoid losing the track.
Settlers could get very little for their produec, and never were paid in money except at Detroit, and even at the latter place they were obliged to take half in store pay. Butter was there worth sixpence per pound. At Flint, which was the nearest market, it was utterly impossible to get money, and bartering was the only system of trade. Settlers often earried grists to mill on their baeks and returned the same way, and as the woods abounded with wolves these journeys were seldom pleasant, although it is not known that a single person ever lost his life in an encounter with these animals, or ever suffered more severely from them than the loss of some of his stock.
Peter Lennon, Sr., the father of the present supervisor, emigrated from the North of Ireland to the United States in 1837, and settled in Luzerne Co., Pa., where he lived until 1853, when he removed to Clayton, and located on land now owned by his son, Peter Lennon. He died in 1861. The son served four years in the 5th Michigan Infantry, during the war of the Rebellion, holding a captain's com- mission. Hlis regiment was in the Army of the Potomac.
