EARLY SETTLEMENT.
Some years ago, the good work of compiling a history of the county was begun by Rev. H N. Bissell. Since that time. the special papers of Judge J. B Eldredge, Edgar Weeks, John E Day and others, have shel much light on the history of this county. The

HISTORY OF MACOMB COUNTY.
following, extracte l from Mr. Weeks' history of Mt. Clemens, brings us back to those olden times when the beginnings of Mt. Clemens began to take form: " It is interesting, at times, to survey the history of the country which every-day life makes so familiar to us, and throughout the entire Northwest Territory no section affords so many interesting relies to those having an antiquarian turn of mind as the country around Detroit and these great lakes.
In searching among the dusty records of ancient surveys and travels, it is singular to note the early opinions of those who made this immediate section a study. Detroit, with its varied story of Indian warfare and treachery, its recollections of Red Jacket and Pontiac, the chieftains of the tribes inhabiting the vast wilds which have now given way to civilization and the graces of cultivation. The dark story of Bloody Run. the wild adventure of the early settler, who planted himself upon the outer selvage of civilization. sustaining himself by the precarious chances of the chase and the hardly less profitable proceeds of the fisheries, while agriculture planted in the rich soil bordering upon our lakes labored under a want of skill which most conspicuously marked the early Canadian inhabitants of the frontier-all these things, nearly or quite forgotten in the whirl and business of our own day-have a rosy tinge of romance that speaks the voice of silent woods, of slothful streams, of marshes and unknown places. We recall, as we look around upon the improvements which years of toil have brought about, the majestic grandeur of solemn loneliness which long ago reigned here, disturbed only by the prowling wolf and panther, or by the not less savage aborigines. Many still live in our own vicinity whose memories carry them back to the first struggle made to plant a settlement at Mt. Clom- ens Our graceful Clinton River, which now bears upon its quiet bosom the commerce of our village, or, perchance, the graceful barge of the pleasure-seeker, was then the Huron River, whose glassy wave broke the prow of the bark canoe freighted for its brief voyage with the squaw and the papoose of the migratory Indian; later, the element that buoyed upon its bosom the " dug out " of the trapper or the settler on his errand of trapping and fishing. We can faney the scenes that animated the landscape then-the startled swan, swinging into view, and soaring away to some more secret haunt; the otter (plentiful then) and the muskrat -game sought for and highly prized; the forests resounding to the cry of the bird careering wildly into the dark wood, and the wild deer bounding away over the now site of cultivated farms and teeming villages. We can fancy how the quiet hills and glades echoed the shot of the wild huntsman; and the silence that
"'settled wide and still,
On the lone wood and mighty hill,'"
when no human being was there to invade nature's wide domain.
Again. when night, the 'sable goddess,' swayed her leaden scepter, and the deep gloom of the untrodden forest was peopled only with the fantoms that ride upon the solemn stillness of the night. And yet again, when the glad day beamed from the portals of the morning, bringing no return of husbandman to waving harvest fields: no opening up of the fresh furrows to the busy plow. These are the scenes that fancy brings to the recollection.
The earliest settlement of the country immediately surrounding this village was in the year 1781. In 1788, there were thirty-four families in all the settlements from the mouth of the River Huron extending up the stream some nine miles. These people, we ascertain, were tolerably well situated, but extremely poor, and lacked greatly in agri- cultural skill. The settlers were all of this description save four, who were said to be Englishmen of industry and enterprise.
Twenty of the farms were purchased of the Indians in 1788; ten in 1793, 1795 and 1796; and four settled in the year 1800, without authority of any kind.

HISTORY OF MACOMB COUNTY.
We ascertain that between Milk River and the mouth of the Huron River, a dis- tance of twelve miles. and being the strip of lake shore now known as L'ans creuse, there were, in 1707, thirty settlers. They were exceedingly poor, and were considered as unfortunate in their location. They were even ignorant of the number of acres they pos- sessed, and achieved a seanty subsistence by the chances of the chase, their traps and fish- ing. These people came into possession of their lands without authority even of the In- dians.
Prior to 180S, and about 1794, a settlement had been made of a tract of land on the northwest side of the present village, near what is now Frederick; a saw-mill, a still and a grist-mill had been erected. After some years of occupation, this tract of land passed into the hands of James Connor, who, after the organization of the Government by the adoption of the constitution, and after the session of this territory to the General Government by the State of Virginia, obtained a patent and a recognition of his title, which was a grant from the Indians. We find this recognition was made by the Commis- sioners of the Government in 1809. This was the first opening-up of the country on that side of this village. As a curiosity to our citizens. we give below what is believed to be a copy of the conveyance to Christian Clemens of a part of the present site of this village:
" KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: That I Henry Tucker, of River Huron. and Territory of Michigan, in consideration of the sum of $100, to me in hand paid by Christian Clemens, of the same Distriet and Territory aforesaid, the receipt whereof I do hereby acknowledge, have remised, released and forever quitted claim, and do by these presents remise, release and forever guit-claim unto Christian Clemens, his heirs and assigns forever, all that certain tract or lot of land situate, lying and being on the River Huron, in said District, which farm or tract of land is bounded on the south by said River lluron, on the east by lands of Tobias Newcomer, and running up said river fifteen and a half acres. and the usual depth of forty acres back : 1 do hereby release, and forever quit-claim all my improve- ments, right to said tract or lot of land to have and to hold the same to him the said Christian Clem. ens, his heirs and assigns forever.
In witness whereof. I have hereunto set my hand and seal this fourth day of March. in the year HENRY TUCKER. [L. S. ] of our Lord 1808. In presence of Robert Tait. John I. Newcomer. \
John Brooks came in and built a distillery about the year 1797. It used to stand where Hess & Kellogg's grist-mill is. This was the first improvement made within the village corporation. Brooks continued the business until Clemens and Wisewell came here and bought the property of him. The business is said to have flourished until there became a scarcity of the raw material, when the proprietors procured a quantity of rye, which they distributed among the farmers of the neighboring country. the same to be re- turned after harvest. This was before the modern crusade, and no objections were raised. A log house stood down the river near the site of the old glass factory (now discontinued). Another, built by Mr. Clemens, stood on the corner near the site of the stores owned by E. J. Tucker, on Pearl street A log house was also built over the river, opposit- Hess & Kellogg's grist-mill. A distillery, also a log house, stood a little above the ship-yard of J. Saunders, built by Henry Connor and a Mr. Grey. These improvements constituted the village previous to the war of 1812.
Many of the old families had branched off and begun improvement above and below the village. During the war of 1812, many outrages were committed by hostile Indians. To such an extent were these depredations carried that many families sought safety by moving to Detroit. Mr. Clemens joined the army, and did good service for this country. He returned with his family to this place immediately after the close of the war. In Oc- tober, 1817. John Stockton eame to Mt. Clemens, having married one of Judge Clemens' daughters during the sojourn of the family in Detroit. The first frame structure erected

was an addition to Judge Clemens' house, built in 1817. The remnants of it stood oppo- site the gate of the old burial ground.
The growth of the town from the organization of the county to the present has been as rapid and steady as circumstances would admit The old log court house was erected in 1819, and after the seat of justice was permanently established. the general prosperity of the village increased
The first whisky manufactured in the county was that by John Brooks, who built a distillery at Mt. Clemens in 1797 The first license to sell spiritnous liquor granted by the County Court was that to Chief Justice Clemens, in 1818.
The first newspaper published in the county was the Macomb Democrat, with J. K. Averill managing, the first copy of which was issued November 5, 1835.
The first marriage celebrated after the organization of the county was that of Syl- vester Finch and Miss Almeda Webster, June 4, 1818, before Justice John K. Smith. The ceremony was performed at Mt. Clemens.
Ambrose Tremblé, or Trombley, actually improved Claim 695 in 1774, and continued to make it his home until his decease, in 1805. He was the second French pioneer of Ma- comb County.
The third bona fide settler was Lonis Groesbeck. who improved the lands subsequently known as Claim 272 in 1780.
Richard Connor, or O'Connor, was the first actual English-speaking settler. He came here in 1781, with. or about the same time, as John Huckenwelder, the Moravian patri- arch.
The Moravians came in 1751, a day or two after De Peyster's council at Detroit, and settled near Mt. Clemens.
The next was George Baker, in 1785, whose dealings in land at that time are sur- rounded with mystery.
John Askin and Maj. William Ancram, of the British garrison at Detroit purchased Claim 668 from the Moravians in 1786, and rented the land to Robert Dowler the same year. Neither Askin nor Ancram ever settled on this land, as, a few years later, they sold it to Todd & Co., of Montreal.
Joseph Socier located on Claim 585 in 1788, and the same year Louis Griffard began improving Claim 183.
The Moravians left the Huron River settlement in 1786, some for Canada, and a few for their old home at Muskingum.
The village of New Gnadtenhutten was the first center of population in the county.
The first frame house raised in the county was that by John Stockton, in 1817, form- ing an addition to Judge Clemens' log house. Alfred Ashley and the Cady brothers raised the first entire frame building.
The first log house in the vicinity of the village was built by Nicholas Patenaude, in 1758-59.
Oliver Newberry opened a supply store early in 1822, for he use of his men, who were engaged in building the boat La Grange.
Ellis Doty, a native of Chautauqua County, N. Y., was the first regular merchant, or rather store keeper, of the county. He opened a small business house at Mt. Clemens in 1822. A small store was inaugurated nearly opposite the Flummer mill in 1821, but the owner's name is forgotten.
The first regular physicians of the county were Drs. Chamberlain and Thompson. They remained here so long as Gens. Cass, Brown, Clark, Judge Woodward, and the old friends of Christian Clemens, made it a custom to visit this point.
The first banks were the Macomb County Bank, the Eastern Branch of the Clinton &

Kalamazeo Canal Bank, and the Huron River Bank. Those financial concerns will be regarded in another section of this work.
The first census of that district now forming Macomb County was taken in 1810, for the General Government, while yet it formed a portion of the civil district of Huron. From Mt. Clemens to the month of the river offered subject for the enumerator.
The first Congregational Church was organized in 1832.
The first Baptist Church was established here October 17, 1834.
The first Methodist Episcopal Church was organized October 27, 1836.
The first Protestant Episcopal Church was established in 1549, under Rev. Edward McGee.
The German Evangelical Church was legally established in 1860, when the society, which had been previously organized, purchased the academy and fitted it up as a house of worship.

The first Judges were: Judge Woodward, of the Territorial Supreme Court; Chief Justice Clemens, of the County Court; Associate Judges Daniel Le Roy and William Thompson; Justices Richard Butler and John K. Smith.
The first regular train passed through the county over the Port Huron & Detroit Branch of the Grand Trunk Railroad in 1859.
The first post office was established at Mt. Clemens in 1818, with John Stockton as Postmaster.
In 1825 or 1826, Dr. Henry Taylor located at Mt. Clemens. Previously, he was a practitioner at Stoney Creek. Dr. Hall, whose son and daughters are now residents of the city, was one of the early physicians of this district. His death took place in 1865.
DENTISTS AND DENTISTRY.
The first dentist who located at Mt. Clemens was Dr. Jared Kibbee, who came in May, 1847, and opened an office east of the old American House, on Shelby street. Dr Kibbee continued practice here until May 1, 1854, when he moved to Detroit, and thence to Port Huron in 1853. Dr. William Warren came in 1866. and opened an office in the old woolen-mill, where the new jail now stands. He remained two years. Dr. White was the next dentist. He made regular visit to the village, and made headquarters at the American House. Dr. S. B. Axtell came in 1868 and practiced here until his death, in 1870. George Rackham, called by some citizens " the alleged dentist," practiced here for a few months. Dr. Hutchins located here in the fall of 1872.
PLATTING THE VILLAGE.
The original plat of the village of Mt. Clemens was made by Christian Clemens in 1818. It comprised sixty building lots northeast of Macomb street, extending to Gratiot street (now Market), together with the slope-tothe river: twenty-one lots south of Cass street (now Shelby street), and twenty-six lots between Court street on the east, Cherry street on the north- west, Cass or Shelby street on the south. and Macomb street on the northeast. The court house lot extended from Court street to Front street. The last-named street was platted along the bank of the river from Gratiot. now Market street, to a point where the saw and spoke mill stands, on the bank of the river. south of the brewery. Since ISIS, no less than seventeen additions have been made to the original plat, viz .: Mullett's, the city of

A deed granted to the people of Macomb by Christian Clemens, dated March 10. 1818. conveyed 2,934 square feet of land to the county in consideration of the village be- ing made the location of the county seat. This tract is what is now known as the public square. The deed bears the signatures of Christian Clemens and his wife, Elizabeth, to- gether with those of the witnesses, Charles Seymour, Isaac L. Webb. John Stockton and James Fulton. A deed of two lots for the uses of church and school buildings was made at the same time.

ORGANIZATION.
The act of the Senate and House of Representatives, approved March 13, 1837, set off the land embraced within the following limits under the name the Village of Mount Clemens: Beginning at a point on the Clinton, where the west line of the farm of George Kellogg intersects the same: thence along the border of the Clinton to a point where the farm of Alfred Ashley strikes the river: thence north on the east line of the Ashley farm to a point whence a line due east would intersect the south line of the William Canfield farm: thence east on the range of 'Canfield's line to the intersection of the west line of George Kellogg's farm, and thence down this line to the place of beginning. The act an- thorized the election of a President, Recorder and six Trustees: but, owing to the number of changes which marked the first year of the panic, as well as to the total prostration of enterprise, the terms of the act were not observed.
The act of the Legislature. approved April 4. 1851. ordained that the territory with- in the following boundaries should be known as the village of Mount Clemens, viz .: Com- mencing at a point in the center of the Clinton. on the line between Harrison and Clin- ton; thence following the center of the river up stream to a point where the westerly line of P. C. 139. originally patented to Richard Patterson. strikes the center of the river; thence northwardly to a point from which a line running due east will form the south line of the farm owned by the heirs of Mitchell; thence easterly to the line between Clinton and Harrison, and along that line to the place of beginning. The subject of amending the act of 1851 was introduced into the State Senate. March 10. 1875, by Senator Mellen. This amendatory act provided that the following boundaries should constitute the limits of the vil- lage: Commencing at a point in the center of the Clinton River, where the line between the township of Harrison and Clinton intersects the center of river: thence along the cen- ter of the river up stream to a point between the lands owned by Campbell and Sackett and the lands of Samnel Wood; thence north three degrees east, parallel with the west line of Private Claim 541, along the line between the lands of Campbell and Sackett and the lands of Samuel Wood, and also between the lands of said Campbell and Sackett and the lands of William Parrot, and the lands of Nicholas Demmer, to the northeast corner of the lands of Campbell and Sackett, in Private Claim 116; thence easterly at right angles along the line between the lands of Robert Little and Nicholas Demmer to a point on the west line of Private Claim 541; thence northerly along the west line of Claim 541 to the northwest corner of that claim: thence easterly along the north line of Claim 541 to its northeast corner: thence southerly along the east line of claim to a point on the line be-
