The public had great confidence that these roads would be constructed, as the corporators were among the most substantial men in the country. But we have no evidence that they even perfected an organi- zation, certainly they did not in either case commence the work.
In the Cincinnati Directory of 1819, the following statement is made concerning the roads leading to and from the city : "In no part of the United States are good roads more wanted. During the winter months the ways are so soft and the mud so deep that traveling, especially with loaded wagons, is very laborous, tedious, and disagreeable. In a country so prosperous, rich, and beautiful, such vile and dis- agreeable roads are degrading to the taste, public spirit, and enterprise of the inhabitants. They might be much improved with very little labor. But among the many improvements for which our young community is distinguished, the roads appear to have been most unpardonably neglected."
In 1833 the Cincinnati and Lebanon Turnpike was constructed as far as Sharon; in 1840 it was con-

tinued as far as Waynesville; and in 1842 to Xenia ; and the following year to Springfield : there it con- nected with the National road, and formed a continu- ous turnpike from Cincinnati to Columbus. About the year 1841-42, the Cincinnati and Hamilton Turnpike was constructed on the general line of the Old Hamilton road. This old road was for many years almost the only avenue by which business was carried on between Cincinnati and the country north ; and it is still one of the most important road-ways leading into the city.
In addition to these main thoroughfares we have now connecting roads in almost every direction through the country, the large majority of which are MacAdamized, or graded and graveled. And when we look over the extensive country, known as the Miami Valley, and reflect that from its earliest set- tlement Cincinnati was the only market for this vast and fruitful region, and that up to 1828, when the canal came into use, all its immense productions, and all articles of traffic, passed over these roads in wagons, some idea of their importance and usefulness may be formed. Since the introduction of railroads, however, these wagon routes and turnpikes even have, to a great extent, been superseded as highways for freight and passage; but they will be remembered for their usefulness in former times, and will always be important auxiliaries to travel and transportation.

SPRINGFIELD AND SYCAMORE TOWNSHIPS.
CHAPTER VII.
The first survey of government lands in the North- West Territory was made in 1785, under the direction of Thomas Hutchins, the geographer. The district surveyed extended one hundred and twenty miles west of the. Pennsylvania line, and from the 41st parallel to Lake Erie. Mr. Hutchins adopted a system of surveys by meridians and parallels, divid- ing into ranges, towns, and sections. Each township being six miles square, and subdivided into thirty- six sections, of one mile square, or six hundred and forty acres.
This plan has ever since been in use by the gov- ernment in surveying the public lands. It was used in all the surveys made in Ohio, except in the United States millitary district, in the Connecticut reserve, and in the Virginia military district.
The political subdivision of the Miami purchase began in 1790. On the 2d day of January of that year, governor St. Clair arrived at Cincinnati,

or then Losantiville, and soon afterwards organized the county of Hamilton. Judge Symmes, in a letter to Jonathan Dayton, one of the proprietors of the Miami purchase, dated January 9, 1790, says of that event: "Governor St. Clair arrived at Losantiville on the 2d instant. He could be prevailed on to stay with us but three nights. He has organized this pur- chase into a. county. His excellency complimented me with the honor of naming the county. I called it Hamiton County, after the Secretary of the Treasury. General Harmar has named the New Garrison Fort Washington. The governor has made Losantiville, the county town, by the name of Cincinnati. so that Losantiville will become extinct."*
* Judge Burnet, in his Notes on the North Western Territory, relates a very romantic story as to the cause of Cincinnati becoming the emporium of Ohio:
The New Jersey Company had intended that North Bend should be the great city of the Miami country. But this object was defeated, it is said, by a strange and sudden whim of Ensign Luce, who had been sent from Louisville to North Bend with a command of eighteen men, for the protection of the Miami settlements, and was left with discretionary power (or at least came without special orders) to select a permanent location and erect works of defense. But that he was induced, through the charms of a beautiful woman, the wife of one of the settlers, to abandon North Bend, despite the entreaties of Judge Symmes, and fix his headquarters at Losantiville, where his black-eyed charmer had been taken by her jealous husband, to avoid the dangers and importunities of her persistent lover.
The story has a charm that gives a zest to the graver and

The following is the original boundary of the county : "Beginning on the Ohio river, at the conflu-
more serious events of the times, and it is to be regreted that it is not better supported by the facts.
The flirtations of Ensign Luce have no importance in history, except so far as they may have had an influence upon public events.' And whatever may have been his intrigues with this woman, it is certain that he did not abandon North Bend for that or any other cause, nor did he commence or assist in the erection of the block-house at Cincinnati, then Losantiville.
Ensign Luce came to North Bend in the early spring of 1789, and proceeded at once, with the limited means at his command, to erect a block-house there. On the 21st day of April follow- ing, he was attacked by Indians, and four of his command were killed and four others wounded, besides two of the settlers were wounded, one a Kentuckian, named William Montgomery, and the other, John R. Mills afterwards a prominent citizen of Sycamore township.
Judge Symmes, in a letter to Hon. Jonathan Dayton,' under date of May 27, 1789, says :
" We have, on the whole, escaped very well at our three settle- ments in this purchase, till on the 21st inst. Mr. Luce was fired upon by a party of Indians, the particulars of which Major Wyllys will detail to you. But I apprehend that we shall really have some trouble at this post before summer is out. I believe that fifty persons, of all ages, have left this place since the dis- aster of the 21st. The settlers consider themselves as neglected by the government. Beyond all doubt we are the most ad- vanced settlement on the frontiers of the United States, and yet all our guard is one Ensign and twelve men, to defend the most perilous post in the western country."
Again, on the 17th day of July, he writes: "I wrote by Henry so fully, that it is needless to attempt any relation of facts previous to those dates. I mentioned that I had sent Isaac Freeman into the Indian country. He has returned safe, but brings such terrifying accounts of the warlike preparations

ence of the Little Miami, and down the said Ohio to the mouth of the Big Miami; and up said Miami
making at the Indian towns, that it has raised fresh commotions in this village, and many families are preparing to go down to the falls. They say 'we will not stay longer at a place like this, the forlorn hope of the United States, and at the same time so intolerably neglected as we are.' One Ensign and twelve soldiers in a little block-house, badly constructed, and not an axe, hoe, spade, or even tomahawk-the property of the United States-is furnished to them. They must have perished for want of shelter and firewood had I not furnished utensils to them ever since December last, to my very great detriment, for very few axes and other articles are returned until they are entirely ruined; and, frequently, when I lend an article, it is gone forever from me, as boats are always passing, and by calling at this place, furnish an opportunity to the soldiers to barter for liquor many an article of mine."
It will be observed that Ensign Luce was still at North Bend on the 17th day of July, 1789, while at that time Major Doughty, from General Harmar's command, was actively engaged in build- ing Fort Washington, having commenced the work in the early part of June.
Judge Symmes, who appears to have had full confidence in the Ensign, does not so much as intimate that there was any in- trigue or dissatisfaction on the part of that officer, or that he had any desire or inclination to leave that post, and assigns a very different reason for the settlers leaving North Bend-that of a general neglect on the part of the government to furnish a sufficient force for the protection of the settlement.
Perhaps the principal cause of Cincinnati taking the lead of the other two settlements, Columbia and North Bend, was the overflow from the river of the principal portion of the lands belonging to those two last named stations. But whatever may have been the main cause, it is quite certain that Ensign Luce had nothing to do with the selection of the site for the erec- tion of Fort Washington, nor did he assist in any way in its construction.

to the standing stone forks, or branch of said river ; and thence with a line to be drawn due east to the Little Miami, and down said Little Miami to the place of beginning."
In organizing the townships, politically, districts were formed more with reference to population than a strict adherence to the lines of the surveyed towns, and thus it sometimes occurred that, in establishing politically a township, the lines divided the towns, as surveyed and numbered, as will appear hereafter.
At the February session of the Court of General Quarter Sessions of the Peace, in 1791, three town- ships were organized in the Symmes purchase, viz .: Columbia, Cincinnati, and Miami.
Columbia township embraced the following terri- tory : "Beginning at the confluence of the Little Miami and Ohio rivers; thence down the Ohio to the meridian line, east of the town of Cincinnati; thence north to the military range; thence east to the Little Miami river; thence with the Little Miami river to the beginning." This included the present four townships, Spencer, Columbia, Sycamore, and Symmes.
Cincinnati township embraced the territory lying within the following lines : " Beginning on the Ohio at the south-west corner of Columbia township; thence down the Ohio to the first meridian line east of the mouth of Rapid Run; thence north to the

Great Miami ; thence up the Miami to the south boundary of the military range; thence east along said range to the north-west corner of Columbia township; thence south to the place of beginning." This comprised the present townships of Cincinnati, Storr's, Delhi, Green, and Colerain, except the two western tiers of sections of Colerain, and the triang- ular corner on the west of Delhi.
Miami township commenced at the south - west ' corner of Cincinnati township; thence down the Ohio with its meanders to the mouth of the Great Miami river; thence up the Miami river to the intersection of the west boundary line of Cincinnati township; thence south along said boundary line to the place of beginning.

Colerain was organized in 1794, and embraced the fractional township on the Great Miami, in the second entire range, a part of what is now in Butler county.
South Bend township was next organized, in 1794, and embraced the territory "Beginning on the bank of the Ohio, on the second meridian line in the M. P., west of the mouth of Millcreek; thence west- wardly down the Ohio, with the meanders thereof to the meridian line in the purchase aforesaid, six miles west of the meridian line first aforesaid; thence north with said meridian line to the Great Miami river; thence up said river, with the meanders

thereof, to the south-west corner of Colerain town- ship; thence east with the southern boundary of said Colerain township to the meridian line first above mentioned; thence south with said meridian line to the beginning. The letter C to be the brand of said township.
Springfield township was organized, at the Febru- ary sessions, in 1795, with the following boundary : " Beginning on the meridian line, which is the east boundary line of the third township east of the Great Miami, in the first entire range of townships in the Miami purchase, according to the plat of said pur- chase, two miles south of the south -east corner of said third township; thence north to said south-east corner of said third township, according to the plat of the purchase aforesaid; thence east two miles to the second meridian line, east of the meridian line first aforesaid, according to the plat of the purchase aforesaid; thence north with said meridian line six miles to the northern boundary line of said first entire range; thence west with said line eight miles to the eastern boundary line of Colerain township; thence south with the eastern boundary line of Colerain and South Bend townships, eight miles ; thence east six miles to the beginning. The letter F to be taken and used as the peculiar and general brand of the said township by all the inhabitants thereof."

Sycamore township was organized after Ohio was admitted as a state into the union, under the follow- ing order: "At a special session of the associate judges of Court of Common Pleas, holden the 10th of May, 1803, before Michael Jones, James Silvers, and Luke Foster, associate judges. The fractional township, No. 5, in the first entire range, and the four
eastern tiers of sections in the 4th township, range 1, entire, together with so much of the 2d entire range as lies directly north of the same within the said county, compose a township, to be styled and known as Sycamore township. The inhabitants to meet at the house of Jno. Ayers, and elect three Justices of the Peace."
It will be seen from the above descriptions that what is now Symmes township was then included in Sycamore, and that the two western tiers of sections now included in Sycamore then belonged to Springfield. These lines were changed January 19, 1822, when Symmes township was organized, which was done by an act of the legislature.
