HISTORY OF
Between two of the old settlers there grew up a quarrel in 1815, and a lawsuit ensued before James Smith, J. P. The Reverend James, by practice as well as profession, a peace-maker, proposed that the parties should have a friendly talk, and settle the difficulty without recourse to law. Accordingly they sat down on a log and Solomon Shaffer began in his broken pronunciation-"Now Mr. Lyingbar- ger"-"sthop," cries George Lybarger, in an an- gry tone, "my name is not Lyingbarger, but Ly- barger, by G-, do you wish to insult me, Shaf- fer ?" "My name is not Shaffer, but Shaffer, don't call me Shaffer, or tammed if I don't knock you down,"-and the parties sprung at each other, when James commanded the peace in the name of the State, and the difficulty between the belligerent old dutchmen had to be settled by the law at last.

CHAPTER XXXVI.
HILLIAR TOWNSHIP
WAS laid off from Miller, upon petition of its citizens, August 28, 1818. It is the southwestern township of the county. The first settlement was called " Houck's," and was principally made up of the families of James and Jacob Houck and Joseph Jennings, who erected the first cabins, and graced the principal building, through Mr. Lamson, with the first brick chimney put up in this township. This settlement was about one mile southwest of the present village of Centerburg. When the town- ship was formed the settlers agreed to the name of Hilliar, in compliment to Dr. Richard Hilliar, who was then the largest landholder residing in the limits ; he dwelt in a cabin in the southwest corner. It had 16,000 acres of land upon the tax list in 1830. In 1832, there were but 40 voters. In 1840, the population was 1,012; in 1850, 1,141; and in 1860, 1,088. Centerburg, its principal mart of bu- siness, is on the old stage route from all the "north countrie" to the State Capital. It is 13 miles from Mt. Vernon. We have heard it said that it re- ceived its name from the fact that Harvey Jones presumed it to be the exact geographical center of Ohio; and many long years ago, when politicians and legislators threatened to move the Capital,
352
HISTORY OF
some of the oldest inhabitants there believed it might become the Capital of the Buckeye State. If such a thing was hinted at by members who oc- casionally had the good Inek in cold weather and muddy roads to call on Harvey Jones, enjoy his feast of fat things, and rest in his soft and downy beds, it is no wonder that by contrast with the then Columbus fare they " smiled" at the idea, and took another encouraging horn upon the strength of it with "mine host." As early as 1820 travel from Northern Ohio to the Capital through or by this route dates. Business may be said to have started with Mr. Jones, who was the most enterprising man at Centerburg from 1831 until 1848. He was a corpulent, jovial, kind-hearted man, who held out by unmistakable sign that he had good fare, and enjoyed the good things of this world.
In the early days the people were disposed to "pull together" at elections. It was their custom to meet when the day of voting came round, and canvass in a friendly manner the merits of candi- dates, and to make their voice felt by voting " plumpers." The electors would set down upon logs before any ballots were cast, and read over the names upon the tickets, and settle all conflicting opinions by voting unanimously for the same men. In this way they made, as an old one of their num- ber said, the candidates who were defeated "to howl," and caused aspirants to look with fear and trembling for the returns from Hilliar. In 1818, the entire vote was 17, unanimous for Ethan A. Brown for Governor; Benj. Martin, Congress ; John Spencer, State Senator; W. W. Farquhar,
353
KNOX COUNTY.
Representative. In October, 1824, there was one stubborn man who would vote for Allen Trimble for Governor; the other 14 votes were cast for Morrow. The first place of public entertainment kept in this part of Knox county was by Joseph Jennings.
Great difficulty was experienced by the early settlers in getting to and from mill. We find as early as April 26, 1810, Jacob and James Houck, Joseph Jennings, John and Josias Simpson, Henry Matthews, John Karr, John Hinton and others, met at doctor Hilliar's farm and united in petition- ing for a road to Douglass' mill. The prayer was granted, and Wm. Gass, Charles Cooper and Isaac Bonnet were appointed viewers. They met at Clinton at the time named, but refused to proceed to view what, in their opinion, was an unnecessary road. Nothing daunted, the few petitioners added two or three more names to their request and sent up another petition on the 17th of September, and Jabez Beers, Henry Roberts and William Mitch- ell, were appointed viewers, and Ichabod Marshal, surveyor. The viewers met and the surveyor de- clining to act, S. H. Smith accompanied them as surveyor, and returned a report and plat of the road, 16 miles in length-the surveyor reporting "it can be a tolerable good road, is very good ground, but the viewers say that at this time it would be too burthensome to the county to open said road." " Ordered, therefore, that the same cannot be grant- cd."
The citizens then began petitioning for a new 23

HISTORY OF
township, which they succeeded in getting in Au- gust, 1818, and the first election was held at the house of Thomas Merril. The Judges of that election were Joe Jennings, Jas. Houck, Jas. Pell; Clerks, John Borden, Wm. Reynolds. In 1819, Jacob Houck listed Hilliar, and was paid a $4 county order therefor. The same duty he per- formed, for like pay, in 1820. The Judges of elec- tion, October, 1820, were Joseph Jennings, James Severe, Wm. Reynolds; Clerks, John Borden. John Davis. Henry Matthews, Benj. F. Hilliar. John Severe, James Pell and John Pell were other early voters. The Messmores, Mahannahs, Hollis- ters and Bottomfields were other settlers of a later period. John Thomas projected a town in 1834, but it never made headway. Rich Hill is a new business point that is thriving considerably.
JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.
May 10, 1819, the Court of Common Pleas allowed Hilliar one Justice, and in July, Jacob Houck was elected.

CHAPTER XXXVII.
MILFORD TOWNSHIP.
THIS township was created in 1823, March 3d, out of territory taken from Miller. The land is generally level and soil fertile. The first election was held the first Monday of April, 1823, at the school-house near the center.
It received its name in the following manner : The settlers met together and various names were presented ; among the number Judson Lamson proposed that it should be called Milford, taking the idea from his native town New Milford, Con- necticut. Some objection was offered to every other name but this, and in consideration of the fact that Mr. Lamson was one of the oldest settlers, and also its being a New England name-those present being all from "Down East"-it was adopted.
The settlers at that time were Uzziel Stephens, from Vermont; Gardner Bishop, Stephen Hawkins, John Jeffries, Jesse Smith, Harris Hawkins, from Rhode Island ; Wm. Beardslee and John Beards- lee from New Haven, Ct .; Judson Lamson from New Milford, Ct. ; Aaron Hill from Massachusetts.
The original stock now living are upon the lands selected by them at first, and the children and
.

HISTORY OF
families of the departed, as a general thing, reside upon the old home tracts.
They were industrious, temperate and orderly citizens, and their families have followed in their footsteps closely, as is customary in the land of steady habits. There was no store or trading estab- lishment in this township ; the citizens transacted their entire business at the county seat. James Smith preached the first sermon, and the ministe- rial duties since have been principally discharged by the Christian Church.
Wolves were very plenty and impudent in this township at an early day. One of the incidents of those times was as follows : When Platt G. Beards- ley was a boy, and out cow hunting, he lost his way and came upon a considerable sized swamp which at first he took to be a clearing ; as soon as he came by its side a gang of wolves set up their infernal howling, he took to his heels badly scared, and ran along Sycamore creek, the wolves follow- ing close at his heels ; as he neared home the dogs rushed out and attacked the wolves, when one of the dogs was torn in pieces by the wolves, and Platt made his escape into the house.
By the census of 1830, 498 inhabitants were then reported within its limits, and 13,472 acres of land returned for taxation. In 1840, the population was 1,157 ; in 1850, 1,349; in 1860, 1,084.
The two prominent points are styled the "Five Corners" and "Lock"-the latter is a post-office, at the county line, where there is some business trans- acted by the citizens of Knox and Licking.
Judson Lamson was born July 14, 1779. In
357
KNOX COUNTY.
1817 he settled where he now resides. By trade a brickmason, after preparing quarters for his family, he went to Mt. Vernon to purchase some supplies, and, on entering a store kept by " Uncle Jimmy Smith" to buy a few articles, he heard him regret- ting that he had no mason at hand to lay up a piece of his stone wall that had fallen down ; when Mr. Lamson told him that he could do it for him, and the bargain was struck, and he went right at the job and completed it to Mr. Smith's satisfaction. Daniel S. Norton shortly after met him on the street and informed him that he held his note, given to Dr. Lee for medical service in attendance on his daughter, who had been sick from his enter- ing the country. The note was for $10; and Mr. L. told him that he had no money to pay him, and did not know when he would have so much, as money was a scarce article in those times. Mr. Norton at once replied, I do not want your money, but your work, if the note is right-accordingly took his second job of work in underpinning the house where N. then resided, on the lot where Judge Hurd now lives, on Main street. While working there old John Warden, who lived opposite, came across and said, " you beat all men to work I have ever known, you do two days work in one." And the remark was literally true. He subse- quently worked on the brick building, where Daniel S. Norton formerly resided, on High street, near the railroad depot, now the "Buckeye house," and did almost all his other work at the mills, quarrying stone, etc. Mr. L., and his son Levi J., have contributed greatly to the improvement of
358
HISTORY OF
Mt. Vernon and the surrounding country. Among the buildings erected, under his superintendence, we may mention the Pyle block, Browning & Mil- ler's block, Norton block, on Main street, the resi- dence of C. Delano, Esq., and many other of the best structures in town and county. Mr. L. also worked at his trade in various parts of this county and Licking county. He has also been a success- ful farmer, and now, at a good old age, enjoys a competency and the respect of his fellow-men. His son, Levi. J., and his daughter, Mrs. W. A. Disney, reside near him, and other descendants in the west.
The McKowns were among the settlers at the time of organization, and worthy of notice at our hands. The old patriarch, James McKown, was a soldier of the Revolutionary war, and wounded at the battle of Brandywine. In 1820, with a portion of his family, he moved to this county from Vir- ginia, and died in 1850 at the good old age of 98. His wife survived until 1852, when she died, aged 103 years. We recollect well the zeal of the old soldier in behalf of General Harrison for the Pres- idency. He was master of ceremonies at the great Barbecue of 1810, when the big ox was roasted whole. Of his children we make this record :- Gilbert Mckown moved from Milford to Virginia; James moved to Illinois, where he has since died ; Phoebe, wife of Joseph Tegarden, lives in Linn county, Mo. ; Samuel came to this county in 1820, and settled where he died, in his 70th year, in 1861. Nine children are living, to wit: Rev. Samuel S., of the Christian Church, now in Northern Ohio ;
359
KNOX COUNTY.
Isaac, John, Hosmer, and Gilbert E .; Minerva, Mrs. Ira Gearhart, Cynthia, Mrs. David Gotshall, Emaline L., Mrs. John Gotshall, and Miss Marga- ret, all of this county. Gilbert E. is a resident dentist, Mt. Vernon. John Jeffries had six chil- dren ; of this number those who survive are, Mary Ann, wife of Smith Bishop; Laura, widow of David Hill; Almira, wife of Johnston King, and Olney Jeffries, of Mt. Vernon. Preserve Smith and Dr. Hayes have been residents for many years.
The brothers Beardslee, William and John, na- tives of Stratford, and the Hawkinses, Harris and Stephen, natives of Rhode Island, may be classed among the early settlers who contributed to the advancement of Milford. The Beardslees are de- scendants of the Rev. John Beardslee, of Stratford, on Avon, Shakespear's home. William Beardslee married Eunice Gardner, of Hancock, Berkshire co., Mass., and emigrated west. They moved to Ohio, and we find William a resident of Granville in 1814 : subsequently of Homer, and from thence, in 1818, he cut the road with his own hands for three miles to get to his land, where he afterwards resided. The road to this day is known as the Beardslee road. Their sons now living are Col. Platt G., of Milford, Job H. G., of Union county, Dr. Wm. B., and John Binns, of Mount Vernon. The daughters living are Catharine, widow of Eras- tus Rouse, deceased, Betsy, wife of George L. Benedict, Adaline, wife of Lieut. Nathan Bostwick, all of this county. Mary, who married Arnold Hildreth, is dead. William Beardslee, sr., at the advanced age of 79, and his wife, aged 76 years,
360
HISTORY OF
are living in this county, surrounded by children and grand children to the number of 70. John Beardslee married Mary Fitch, of New Haven, Ct., and emigrated to Knox. Their children are Geo. F., of Milford, Dr. Charles, editor of the Herald, Oskaloosa, Iowa, Henry, Galesburg, Ill., Elizabeth, wife of Nathaniel McDaniel, Mary and Melissa. The original Hawkinses were Harris and Stephen. The former had the following children : Ephraim, Harris and Daniel, all living at and about the old
homestead, and Charles in Illinois. Margaret, twin sister of Harris, married Almon Mitchel. Martha married Mr. Rice, and Clarissa died. Ste- phen Hawkins is dead. His first wife, who was a Belknap, is also dead, and of their children the following have died : Col. Emor B., Joseph, Ste- phen and Laura. Their son William married Miss Reach. They are now living in Milford, and Sally Ann and Mary, two girls, the latter by second mar- riage, survive.

CHAPTER XXXVIII.
MILLER TOWNSHIP
THE first time this name occurs on the Journals reads thus :- "Miller Township special election, 1816, June 4th. judges Jonathan Hunt, jr., Wm. Bare, Lemuel Chapman ; clerks, James Miller, John Mott." Thus Miller appears to have sprung suddenly into existence as a township, without any of the preliminary symptoms, or pains and pangs of parturition. One thing we do know, and that is this, the township was named after one of its earliest settlers, James Miller, Esq., a very worthy gentleman, who possessed to an extraordinary de- gree the respect and confidence of his compeers. He was a small man, with a strong mind and ex- cellent sense; a native of Vermont, and in compa -. ny with Turner, a deist, who was a quick, clever old man, and wrote poetry, and went about repeat- ing it, made the first settlement. John Olney, and Emor Harris, Cyrus Gates and James Sealts were also carly settlers. They were mostly from Vermont and Rhode Island. In carly times this was called the "Beech Settlement."
Its population in 1830, was 548; in 1840, 977; in 1850, 1,064 ; in 1860, 996.
One of the first houses was a small log cabin, in the south-cast corner, put up by Vance, whose sons
+
362
HISTORY OF
John and Jacob, with their families, are living in the township. Cornelius Thompson of Hardy co., Va., settled in this township in 1810. His son now lives near the old home, in his 52d year; his daughter, Mrs. Scott is at Pataskala, Licking co. The Hildreth name has long been associated with this township. The old stock came from Marlboro, Ct. Wm. Hildreth emigrated to Zanesville, in 1812, and here in 1828; he died, and his children living are John M., in Mt. Vernon ; Wm. at Scott's Corners, Union co .; Arnold and Epaphro in Mil- ler township.
In 1816, at the October election, 33 votes were polled : for Worthington, 32; Ethan A. Brown, 1. The judges of election and clerks in 1816 and 1817 were Rufus Ward, Wm. Campbell, Jonathan Hunt, Jr., Timothy Colopy and John H. Simonds. In 1818, the same officers, except Campbell, whose place was supplied by Titus Hill; and these consti- tuted the board of election of 1819. In 1820, Ru- fus Ward, James Miller and Wm. Beardslee were judges, and Timothy Colopy and Enoch F. Kinney clerks. In 1821, the same, except Miller, whose place was supplied by Phineas Squire.
The old veteran, Rufus Ward, is worthy of special notice as a faithful soldier, who participated in the battle of White Plains, the capture of Burgoyne, and various other battles of the Revolution. He was born at Boston, Mass., in 1758, married Eliza- beth Barnes, of Southington, Conn., and emigrated from Vermont in February, 1814, to the place where he died September 8, 1831, in his 76th year. His widow died June 19, 1819, aged 85, and was a U.S.
363

pensioner for many years. Seven children survive, viz. : Mrs. Mary Hinds, in Indiana; Mrs. Elizabeth Rowley, widow of Samuel; Mrs. Abigail Gabriel, wife of John Gabriel, of Columbus ; Jonas, col- lector, at Piqua; Rufus, farmer, of Miller; Dr. Tru- man, druggist, at Mt. Vernon; and Levi, merchant, at Bellville. Emma, wife of Alpheus Chapman, is dead, as also her husband.
Col. Royal D. Simons emigrated from Connecti- cut in 1816. He was a man of education and talent, possessed of a very social disposition, and served the people as Assessor and Representative for several terms. His children living are Louisa, wife of J. W. Lybrand, and Caroline, wife of C. P. Young, both residing at Richland Center, Wiscon- sin. Mrs. Lybrand's only child living (George D.) is at the same place.
Timothy Colopy, a warm-hearted Irishman, had lived in Maryland and Virginia' until 1813, when he settled in this township. He died in Mt. Ver- non in his 68th year, and his widow died about 1852, aged 72 years. His surviving children are Jacob, Mary, Mrs. Levi Sapp, Sarah, Mrs. F. J. Zimmerman, and Matilda, wife of H. Conley, in Iowa. Timothy was a devout Catholic and a zeal- ous Democrat, liberal and generous, public-spirited and benevolent. He was an excellent Justice of the Peace, and a much-esteemed citizen.
Col. Emor Harris emigrated from Rhode Island in 1817; died in 1850, aged 58. His wife, Sarah Sweet, whom he married in Rhode Island, is living in her 65th year. They had eight children; five survive, viz .: Caroline, wife of R. C. Walker, in
364
HISTORY OF
Delaware county ; Mrs. Mary Miller; Emor Brown, also a native of this township; and Henry and Sarah, upon the old home place.
Philip Dennis, of Maryland, for many years re- sided in this township with his accomplished wife, Ann Dennis, who deceased in 1854. They were among the most intelligent and best citizens.
"The Four Corners" was the name by which the principal settlement went. A post-office was estab- lished at this point, February 15, 1839, called "Hil- dreth's," and Miner Hildreth was appointed post- master. After Hildreth resigned, the name was changed to "Brandon," and H. C. Lockwood was appointed. In the spring of 1851, H. removed to Danville, where he is engaged in the mercantile business. Brandon is six miles from Mt. Vernon, and four from Homer. It has two churches, two stores, two blacksmith and wagon shops, one steanı sawmill, one tavern. The denominational preach- ing is Methodist Episcopal, Baptist and Christian. Revs. John Mitchell and Moffett, Methodist, Rev. M. Herod, Christian, Rev. J. G. Tunison, Baptist, are the regular ministers.

CHAPTER XXXIX.
MORGAN TOWNSHIP.
IN the first division of the county one of the four townships was called Morgan, in honor of the brave native of New Jersey, Daniel Morgan, the distinguished General in our Revolutionary war, who was a member of Congress from 1795 to 1799, and died July 6, 1802; and in the general reorgani- zation of townships in March, 1825, it was reduced to its present limits. Under the old dispensation we find the total number of voters at the October election, 1809, to have been 13. In October, 1813 , Moses Merrit, Jacob Hanger, Abraham Carnes were Judges; John Dunlap and John Boyle, Clerks. The number of voters had increased to 27, and among them were Jonathan Agnew, Ben. Leonard, Wm. Beam, Wm. Knight, Geo. Cooper, Philip Melker, Jacob Smith, and Smith Hadley. Other carly settlers, besides the above named, were John Losh, Philip Smith, Thompson and Michael Mills, Abner and David Brown, Joseph and John Harris, John and Adam Fox, John Vance, sr., and John, jr., Jacob Rabb, Azariah Davis, Titus Rigby, Cornelius Callighan, and the Harrods. The only ones of this old set now known to be living are Smith Hadley, Levi, Wm. and Sam. Harrod, and Philip Smith. Hadley is in Centerburg, Levi and
366
HISTORY OF
Sam. Harrod in Clay, and Wm. Harrod in Indi- ana, where he moved some fourteen years ago. Philip Smith lives on Big Run, where he first lo- cated. His sons James and Wm. are in Clay, his daughter, Mrs. Henry McLain, is in this township, and Rebecca, wife of George Swank, lives in Union county. John J. Tulloss, a Captain in the war of 1812, emigrated from Fauquier co., Va., in 1807. He was a brick maker, school teacher, and farmer, first in Licking and afterwards in Knox; his widow is living, aged 76, with her children.
In 1816, at the October election, there were 35 voters. Among these was Caleb Pumphry, who died in 1817. There is not one of this family now living in the county. They were very kind and hospitable, zealous Methodists, and as their house was a sort of head-quarters for itinerants, the fame of Pumphry's tavern, as it was called, was quite ex- tensive. Bernard Reece was another old settler ; and another was Wm. Green, of Maryland, who moved into Morgan from Licking co., in 1816; he died in 1856. Of his 10 children the only ones living are Daniel of Harrison, Hugh of Chesterville, Mrs. B. McClurg and Mrs. J. Kegg in Indiana. Another father of 10 was Bennet Thompson, of Va., whose only child now in Knox is James, who was born in this township in 1827, married Maha- la, danghter of Jesse Larue, in 1850, and has six children, of whom George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, now five years old, are twins.
John F. McLain emigrated from Seneca co., Pa., in 1828, and was for many years a prominent citi- zen. He was a large operator in stock and farm-

ing, and about 1836-8, was interested in a store in Mt. Vernon ; he died in 1858, in his 61st year. His sons, Charles S. and Abijah, are in Morgan, and Win. in Wyandot co. His daughters, Mrs. Sarah Welsh and Mrs. Amelia Hufty are in Craw- ford co .; Mary, wife of Morgan Booze and Cassan- dra, Levi Sellers are in this township. C. S. mar- ried Miss Berryhill ; Henry Miss Smith, and Abi- jah, Miss Hook.
