As stated in the general history of the county, this was the name, derived from the great Carthaginian general, of the old survey-township No. 2 (in the Military tract), which included the present towns of Hannibal and Oswego, and part of Granby. It was not until 1802 that a settlement was made within the limits of the present town of Hannibal ; but the early inhabitants were so mueh in the habit of looking upon " Hannibal" as the survey-township of that name that we will give a few facts relating to the first set- tlement of that township.
In 1797 Asa Rice, of Connecticut, settled at Union Vil- lage, three miles west of the mouth of Oswego river, in the town of Hannibal. That season four families had sum- mered where is now the eity of Oswego. Three of these families returned to Salt Point for the winter,-one family only being permanently located at Oswego. In 1798 this township was united with Lysander and Cicero in the for- mation of one supervisor distriet, and Asa Rice was super- visor, reporting for the three townships the number of fifteen inhabitants, and the valuation of taxable property fifteen hundred dollars. Mr. Rice continued supervisor till the year 1806, when Hannibal was organized, by an aet of the legislature passed in that year. The first town-meeting was held at the house of Matthew McNair, innkeeper, in the village of Oswego, on the first Tuesday of April, 1806, and the following officers were elected, viz .: Town Clerk, Ed- ward Connor; Supervisor, William Vaughan ; Assessors, Asa Rice, Barnet Mooney, Reuben Sprague; Collector, Ezekiel Brown ; Overseers of the Poor, Daniel Hugunin, Peter Hugunin; Commissioners of Highways, Peter D. Hugunin, Barnet Mooney, Thomas Sprague, Jr. ; Con- stables, Ezekiel Brown, James Hugunin ; Fence-viewers, Daniel Hugunin, Peter Hugunin ; Pound-master, William Eadus ; Path-masters, John Masters, district No. 1 ; James Hugunin, district No. 2; Parmenus Sprague, distriet No. 3; Commissioners of Gospel Lots, Joel Burt and Asa Rice.
The following resolutions were passed at that meeting, viz. : " That rams shall not be free commoners from the 1st of September till the 15th of November, with forfeiture of $2.00 for every offense."
" That fences shall not be less than five feet high, and not exceed the space of five inches between rails, from the ground to the height of two feet."
In the year 1804 the " Fair American," a small schooner, was built at Oswego by a Mr. Wilson. The only team in this region was a yoke of oxen, owned by the Rice family ; and this team, with one of the boys, was engaged by Mr. Wilson to haul timber for the construction of the schooner. The timber was cut east of the river; the vessel was built on the west side, and, except Sundays, this boy with his ox- team hauled timbers across the river on the ice every day
in the month of March, 1804. In the year 1818 the township of Hannibal was divided,-Oswego and Granby being separately organized.
In 1805 there settled at Hannibal Centre Watson Earl, David Wilson, Joseph Weed, Sterling Moore, Israel Mes- senger, Orren Cotton, and George Cotton. Orren Cotton was a millwright by trade, and, as we learn from his rela- tive, J. R. Chamberlain, built the first grist-mill in town, at IIannibal Centre, in 1806, in company with Watson Earl. He was a lineal descendant of the celebrated Puritan preacher of Boston, Dr. John Cotton. The first building in the vil- lage of Hannibal was ereeted of logs, nearly on the site of an old Indian camp or wigwam, in the year 1808, and kept as a hotel by Henry Jennings.
In the following year, 1809, Arvin Rice commenced clearing the farm upon which he still resides, in the imme- diate neighborhood of the new hotel, on lot 67. A year or two later, Isaac Kinney settled at Kinney's Corners, and James B. Adams erected a cabin at Fairdale, and Gad Daniels soon after erected one a mile farther east. Thus immigrants threaded their way into different parts of the town, and the lowing of kine and the bleating of sheep began to be mingled with the growl of the bear and the wolf's long howl. The woodman's axe made huge gashes in the interminable forests, and industry, thrift, and im- provement were seen on every hand.
In 1810 a small school was kept at Hannibal Centre. The first record of the school district at Hannibal village is dated April 13, 1813, the district then comprising about sixteen lots, each one mile square. The records show that on October 30, 1813, the inhabitants of the district met at Mr. Carter's. Arvin Riee was chosen chairman, and Abram Watson clerk. At this meeting the following resolutions were adopted : " That there be a school-house built in the highway, near the dwelling-house of Mr. Carter." " Re- solved, second, that Arvin Rice, John D. Bradt, and Sam- nel Sanders be trustees." " Resolved, third, that the trus- tees lay a tax not to exceed one hundred dollars to build a school-house, etc." " Resolved, that William Hawks be collector."
The school-house cost, with the expense of collection, sixty dollars and forty-eight cents. A school was kept during three months of the following winter, and the teacher's wages amounted to fourteen dollars. Laura Kent taught school in this district two and a half months in the spring and summer of 1815, at one dollar and seventy-five cents per week, boarding herself. Polly Dunton taught in the summer and fall of 1815, at the same price. The next year teachers' wages were raised to fifteen shillings per week.

the log school-house. The people congregated on the Sab- bath in this primitive temple, and after reading the Bible and singing psalms, would repair to their several abodes, passing the remainder of the day with decorum and sobriety within doors.
In 1831 the following composition was read in one of the schools by a lad nine years of age: "The village of Hannibal contains two churches, two schools, two taverns, two stores, two asheries, two tailors, two blacksmiths, two shoemakers, two wagon-makers, two carpenters, two brick- yards, and two pretty good dwelling-houses, two ministers, two doctors, two lawyers, and but one hatter. One church is Presbyterian, the other a Baptist; one has a bell, the other a clock ; one school is a select school, the other is a common school; one tavern is a temperance tavern, the other is not ; one ashery is in use, the other is at liberty ; one brickyard is in use, the other is at liberty ; the tailors live opposite each other." The above is said, by reliable citizens, to be a sketch true to life.
