BYRON TOWNSHIP.

Byron, or township 5 north, range 12 west,. is still a timbered land. The western feeders of Buck creek rise in a small lake near Ross Station, in section 26, and one mile northeast in a pond in section 25. A number of other streams course throughout the township, including the eastern feeders of Rush creek. Tamarack inarshes and spring swails are numerous, the former from section 11 to section 31, with branches outcropping in the northeast quarter of section 19.

The arable land is rolling and admirably adapted to all the pur- poses of agriculture. The forest covers a large area of the town- ship, containing many tracts of heavy and valuable hard-wood. The marsh land, when reclaimed, will constitute the most fertile soil in the county.

The following description of the township is taken from the " Memorials of the Grand River Valley:"

" The land for some miles from the river was of the class called openings; further back, on either side were timbered lands. As the character of the openings has changed, so that nothing of the kind is now seen in the settled parts of Michigan, and as the gen- eration of those who have grown up in the region have seen noth- ing of the sort, it may not be considered amiss to give a description of the 'openings' lands.

"Looking at any piece of oak woods, two distinct growths. will be observed; one of very scattering large trees, and the other a thick growth of smaller ones. The large trees were all that was on the land when the region was first occupied. The land was open; no fallen timber, and nothing but the very scattered oak trees to obstruct the view. A wagon or load of hay could be driven any- where.

" The settler had only to cut down or 'girdle' the scattered oaks, put in the plow with a strong team; and sow his ground.

" Neither the openings nor the prairies were natural. They were the result of the Indian practice of burning over the lands, with the double object of making them more open, so that they could see their game, and rendering the region more healthy. Where the fires killed the whole of the wood, the result was a prairie. Where they only killed the young growth, it was an 'opening,' just as good for Indian purposes. Where the under-growth was oak or hickory, the fires killed only so much as was above the ground, leaving the root to sprout up again. This gave rise to what received the name of 'grubs,' that is, strong, heavy roots, with only an insignificant bush growing from them. The root of

(603)

604

HISTORY OF KENT COUNTY.

a shrub an inch in diameter would be sufficient for a tree of several inches, and would have a spreading top, like a mushroom. A fire running through would kill all these young bushes. In a year or so all would be clear. In general there was nothing which could not be cut with the brush, scythe, or torn up by the plow.

" There were two ways of preparing the ground for a crop. The first has been indicated: with a strong team break the land, and pull out the roots, partly by the harrow, and partly by hand. The other way was to grub the ground, or dig out each root with an instrument made for that purpose.

"This was the more laborious and better way, as it left the land in a better condition to receive the crop. A breaking team of three or four yoke of oxen could break an acre in a day, but there was still all the labor of pulling out. A stout man would grub with his mattock and ax, an acre in a week. A class of men in early times owned teams and made a business of 'breaking.' Those who could not pay the breakers, or who wished their land earlier under good culture, grubbed. The openings are a thing of the past; therefore, this explanation.

" Again, the early settlers had not been backwoodsmen. They came from a region, cleared by their fathers, and were little accus- tomed to the use of the ax. To them a heavy standing growth of timber, and the great fallen trees, were formidable. A tree was not then, as now, a little mine of wealth, but it was a nuisance-to be got rid of, and that, too, by the hardest labor. Therefore, we will not censure the wisdom of the pioneers for their preferring the openings to what they well knew would prove to be the better tim- bered lands.

"It required a little nerve to push into South Byron; a few settlers were early there. It is not now known that any one located before 1836, when several came into the northern part of the township. Three brothers-Nathan, Jerry and William Boynton; another three brothers- Justus C., Jacob and Charles Rogers. It is gen- erally conceded that Nathan Boynton was the first. He proceeded to put up his 'palace'-split logs for roof and floor, with clay and sticks for a chimney. We have called it his 'palace,' and not without reason, for every old pioneer confirms the fact, that his first rude shelter had more attractions in his eyes, than any house that subsequent good fortune enabled him to build; and we believe them. Go into the woods yourself, camp under trees until you can get up a 12x20 log house, with a fire-place in it, and then see if your dreams the first night you are in it, are not of a palace-your own home. Ah! my dear sir, or madam, log houses were before painted verandas, and sand was used before carpets."
