Guy C. Lee, with his sons, George W., Henry B., and Frederick J., were from Madison Co., N. Y. This family became one of the most promi- nent in the township. They soon made large im- provements, and to their example and inculcation may be attributed much of the high moral char- acter for which the people of Marion have ever been

noted. Guy C. Lee was a gentleman respected by all men, and his voice was ever heard in behalf of the right. Free speech, free labor, free Chris- tianity, in fact, universal freedom, were themes upon which he never wearied, and probably no other man brought so much moral power into the township. One of his daughters taught the first school ; and foremost among the early residents of the town was his elder son, George W. Lee, who, as one of the first justices of the peace, assessor, teacher, and postmaster, was conspicuous in the first years of Marion's history. In later years he settled in Howell, where he engaged in merchan- dising. From thence he moved to Detroit. Dur- ing the war of the Rebellion he received the ap- pointment of paymaster, and is now performing the duties of Indian agent.

Other settlers of 1836 were Peter Merrihew, Elisha Martindale, William R. Marshall, and Ar- temas Mahan, all of whom came in from Washte- naw County ; Price Morse, from Genesee Co., N. Y .; Nelson A. Smith, from Erie Co., Pa .; George Sewell, from England; Chas. Van Winkle, from Allegany Co., N. Y .; William Younglove -a prominent pioneer-and his son Aaron, from Washtenaw Co., Mich .; Mrs. Rebecca Green and family, from Massachusetts; and Henry H. Smith, from Genesee Co., N. Y. Of Artemas Mahan, just mentioned, Mr. Edward F. Gay, in some pioneer reminiscences, published in 1872, related the following incident :

" But one house now intervened between Uncle Robert's [ Rob- ert Bigham's, in Brighton] and my destination, to wit, 'Peet's Log Hotel,' in Genoa, some seven miles east of Howell. At sundown I had arrived within three miles. At this place I dis- covered a shanty covered with bark, and in a locality which had been previously described to me by an acquaintance by the name of Mahan, who had recently located in Marion, a short distance from Howell. He said that after preparing his future home in Marion, he returned to his former residence, expecting soon to move his family. While on his return, on foot and alone, at this spot, in midday, he was approached by two men, each armed with a hand-pike, and his money or his life was demanded. Without parleying, he gave them all of his money except some small change, which he begged them to allow him to keep, together with his life, which they generously consented to do, while he hastened to leave them without making any attempt to know who they were, or why they had thus treated him. Mr. Mahan always after seemed reluctant to discuss this incident, though considered a man of the strictest integrity."

Before taking leave of the settlers of 1836 a perusal of the following facts, furnished by Thomas Love, will be of general interest to Marion people, showing as it does the inception and commence- ment of the " English Settlement."

Henry G. Love and his family arrived in New York City from England on the 10th of June, 1836, and immediately began a journey westward, with the intention of settling in Illinois. Proceeding to

Albany by steamer, they disembarked, and again continued their journey to Rochester, N. Y., via the Erie Canal.

At the latter city the female portion of the fam- ily were left in comfortable quarters, while the father and his son, Thomas, kept on via the canal to Buffalo ; thence by lake steamer to Detroit. In Detroit they met some English friends who had already entered land in township 2 north, of range 4 east, and were persuaded by them, on their rep- resentations, to enter lands in the present town of Marion. Henry G. Love purchased four lots on the west half of section 33, situated south of Cedar Lake. Of their friends, Edwin M. Cust bought on the west side of the lake, or the south half of section 29; Stephen T. Probet, east of the lake; and Joseph H. Steel, north of the lake ; while James Bavin located lots situated upon sections 22 and 23. The party then purchased in Detroit four yoke of oxen, two wagons, provisions, plows, axes, and other necessary implements, and then began their journey towards their locations in the new township via the Grand River road. Mr. Love declares that it was a grand road. Straight out from Detroit, as far as the eye could reach, led this highway, which had been improved to the ex- tent of cutting down the trees and filling the low and marshy places with the trunks, terming the same " causeways."

Over this route they rumbled along until reach- ing Ore Creek, now Brighton ; then leaving the Grand River road, they turned westward and finally arrived at the residences of the Messrs. Car- penter, Hoagland, and Bennetts, in the present township of Hamburg, where they remained for a Sunday's rest. Here the little party lost the further companionship of Mr. Cust, as he bought some land of Mr. Bennett, and concluded to settle in Hamburg. The remainder, consisting of Henry G. Love, his son Thomas, and nephew, William Love,* Stephen T. Probet and nephew, James Bavin and brother, Adam Rubbins, Joseph Brown, and their guide, whose name is now unknown, con- tinued their journey on Monday, July 4th, and before nightfall reached the east side of Cedar Lake, and camped on the land entered by Mr. Probet. Probably this was the first party who crossed the east line of the township for the pur- pose of settling. All who preceded them had come in from the south, through Washtenaw County.

A shelter was soon arranged with boards brought with them, and then they attacked the forest with the purpose of cutting out logs for houses. They were not good choppers at that time, however, and at first were obliged to hire some help who were to the manor born. But, as Mr. Love remarks, they soon learned the "Yankee trick," and ere many days the strokes of the axes in the hands of the English colonists resounded as loud, regularly, and with as good effect as any, as shown by the immediate clearing of five acres on the land of Henry G. Love. A cabin was built upon the Probet place, and the family left at Ro- chester soon came on, accompanied by Nehemiah Gilks. A crop of wheat was sown the same fall, but it proved to be too late in the season, and was a failure. About the first thing done, after getting settled, was the cutting of the largest whitewood- tree to be found on Mr. Bavin's premises ; this was fashioned into a huge canoe, and launched upon Cedar Lake. This was the first boat placed upon the lake by white men, and proved a source of great benefit to the settlers, for, as one of them remarks, " there was an abundance of fish in Uncle Sam's waters, and but a small amount of pork in the barrels at home."

During the winter of 1836-37 the English set- tlers cleared about 15 additional acres with their four yoke of oxen ; the land was plowed the follow- ing summer, the whole sown to wheat, and a good crop resulted. In the summer of 1837, Thomas Love broke five acres for Henry H. Smith, the first ground plowed on Smith's land. At this time it was very difficult to obtain the most common articles of food. Flour was worth $15 per barrel, and corn $1.75 per bushel. Provisions were ob- tained at Dexter, Scio, and very frequently none nearer than Ann Arbor.

Thus have we briefly traced the settlement here of a small company of English people,-men and women of sterling worth,-who, to the present time, have honored themselves and the land of their adoption.

In January, 1837, Thomas B. Brooks settled upon section I, and prior to the first township election, which was held April 3d of the same year, Edward F. Gay came. Ebenezer Stearns, who brought in from Ohio the first horses and sheep, Thomas Schoonhoven, who made the first improvements on the farm afterwards occupied by Elijah F. Burt, Cornelius Potter, the first blacksmith, William Hudson, and James Hoadley were all domiciled in various portions of the township. There were about 20 voters present at the first township-meeting, of whom 16 received office. The whole number of names reported upon the first assessment roll, dated

* Wm. Love came from Berkshire Co., England, in 1834, and after two years' residence in New York State, the latter portion of which was spent in the city of Rochester, his brother, Elisha, came on from England. The brothers joined the English settlers of Marion in 1836. In 1839, William Love was married to Miss Keziah Bennett, a daughter of John Bennett.

HISTORY OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY, MICHIGAN.

May 1, 1837, as resident tax-payers was 34, and the total population of the township for the same year, according to the State census, was 202.

Of the settlers last mentioned, Edward F. Gay perhaps became the most prominent. He was a native of Connecticut, and first came to Michigan in 1831, settled at Ann Arbor, and engaged in merchandising. He remained there until 1837, when, having meanwhile purchased the premises in Marion previously occupied by Deacon Branch, he removed there April 1, 1837. During the same year he built and occupied a store in Howell, which was the second framed building erected in the vil- lage. He was an active and respected citizen in every particular, and served as Marion's supervisor during the years 1841 and 1842. Further mention of Mr. Gay and family will be found in the history of Howell village.

Ezra N. Fairchild, another well-known pioneer, the first surveyor, and prominent during his whole residence here as a township officer, settled in May, 1837. He came from Genesee Co., N. Y., and died at Battle Creek, Mich., in 1875, from a chronic disease contracted while surveying land in Livingston County.

Other settlers of 1837 were George D. Baker, Waters Clark, from Monroe Co., N. Y. ; David Dickerson, who settled on section 14, Seth C. and Seth A. Darwin, from Livingston Co., N. Y. The latter brought in a stock of dry-goods, which were sold at " Darwin's Corners," in 1837 or 1838. Wil- liam Davis, from Erie Co., Pa., was another settler of 1837 ; also Horace Griffith, from Steuben Co., N. Y .; Joseph Walker, from Allegany Co., N. Y .; James Haddan, Samuel Hubbard, Jeremiah Kent, Hiram Mitchell, from Madison Co., N. Y .; Myron Mitchell, his son; Lewis Pardee, from Monroe Co., N. Y. ; Thomas Ross, Walter R. Seymour, from Wayne Co., Mich .; William, Joseph, and Parley H. Sexton, William J. Webster, and Conrad Woll. Ashbel A. Winegar came from Cayuga Co., N. Y., to Michigan in the fall of 1837. He drove the entire distance, bringing two teams of horses. The journey required thirty days. He says that emigrants moving West filled the roads in many places for miles, and his experience in traversing thirty miles through the "Maumee Swamp" will never be forgotten. The roads generally were about as bad as could be, and many of the farmers living along the route stood in readiness, with teams yoked or harnessed, to assist-if well paid for it- those whose teams were stalled.

Among the settlers of 1838 were James T. Bash- ford, Zebulon M. Drew, Nathan Fields, Josiah P. Jewett, Noah Drew, Jesse Shafer, James Sloan (who was another early blacksmith), Patrick Smith,

and Lyman E. Beach, Jr. The latter was a native of Madison Co., N. Y. In years just prior to his removal to Michigan he had resided in the coun- ties of Chautauqua, N. Y., and in Erie, Pa. During the month of March, 1838, accompanied by his young wife, he arrived here and settled upon lands that had been located by his father in April, 1836. The entire distance was accomplished with an ox- team and wagon,-a great achievement, considering the difficulties then attendant upon a passage through the terrible "Maumee Swamp." A log shanty was erected upon the southeast corner of section 7, which possessing neither floor, door, nor window, was occupied in that condition until the frosts of winter came on. This primitive struc- ture gave place in later years to a more comfort- able log dwelling, which in turn was succeeded by a framed house. Mr. Beach and his estimable wife experienced all the vicissitudes incident to pioneer life. But when, after a few years of in- dustry and economy, they were standing on the threshold of prosperity, just entering upon the full fruition of their most ardent hopes and aspirations, both were called to that bourne from whence none return. Mrs. Beach died in 1856, aged forty years. Mr. Beach followed the partner of his joys and sorrows three years later, dying at the early age of forty-three years. Their children-four sons and one daughter-all reside in Livingston County at the present writing, the elder son, William M., being the present efficient County Register of Deeds.

During the three succeeding years, viz., 1839, 1840, and 1841, the population of the town was still further augmented by the settlement of Elias H. Bristol, Isaac Baker, Joseph H. Best, Ebenezer Bliss, Joseph D. Bull, James C. Baker, Hiram P. Baker, Charles Clark, Ephraim C. Hendee, Merritt S. Havens, Jonathan Lee, Ozro F. Olds, Asahel Rust, Eli A. Roberts, William Spafford, William L. Tompkins, John T. Watson, Lorenzo Smith, Julius D. Smith, and Ephraim Smith. The latter was a veteran of the war of the Revolution, the grandsire of Henry H. Smith, and lived to the great age of ninety-nine years and thirteen days.

Hon. Pierpont L. Smith, who throughout his whole residence in Marion has been one of the best known and most respected citizens of the township, purchased lands here in 1835,-as shown in list of land-entries,-but he did not become a permanent resident until some three or four years later. He has occupied many offices in the gift of his fellow-townsmen, and has borne a conspic- uous part in the advancement of Marion to her present proud position.

from Rockingham, Windham 'Co., Vt., in 1838. During the succeeding four years he was engaged as the village school-teacher. In October, 1842, he returned to Rockingham and married Miss Fanny Olcott, of the same place. Returning to Michigan soon after, he purchased Thomas Schoon- hoven's farm, where he remained until his election as county clerk, in 1846. After serving two terms as county clerk, he retired to the pleasant premises now occupied by his widow and children. Besides holding other township offices, he represented this township on the Board of Supervisors seven terms.

Other settlers here prior to 1844 were James Abbott, Hiram Barton, Thomas Bush, Daniel S. Grosvenor, Loton Hiscock, Ezra Ingram, James Muir, Patrick McEaneany, David Parker, and Alfred Woodward.

Robert Holland, from Lincolnshire, England, settled upon the north part of section 29 in 1847.

NOTEWORTHY EARLY EVENTS.

Among the first most notable events not already mentioned, we may here add that James Bavin built the first saw-mill, since known as the Drew mill, in 1838. Hiram Wing, in 1836, was the first shoe- maker in the west half of the county, and made the first maple-sugar, in 1837.

The first birth occurred during the last week of October, 1836, being a daughter of James Bavin.

Mary F. Wing, daughter of Hiram Wing, and now Mrs. Clark, of California, was born Nov. 3, 1836, she being the second child born in the town- ship.

The first marriage, probably, was that of John L. Wing to Miss Olivia Smith, in 1837 or '38. The ceremony was performed by Elder Cosart.

The Marion post-office was first established about 1837, and George W. Lee appointed postmaster. Hiram Wing succeeded him.

Pierpont L. Smith owned the first mowing-ma- chine, and has ever been noted as one of the first to introduce improved agricultural implements.

David Dickerson burned the first lime, about 1842. Z. M. Drew was also engaged in burning lime in 1844.

Edward F. Gay made the first brick, as shown by the following from an early number of the Living- ston Courier :

" The subscriber would inform all who are interested that, not- withstanding the unfavorable season, he has made and burnt 100,000 brick this season, which are now ready for delivery for cash or approved notes, at his kiln, half a mile south of the village of Howell.
