GERMAN REFORMED.
About the year 1838, a small congregation of Evan- gelical Lutherans and German Reformed Lutherans organized in the Gierhart settlement, on the east line of Montgomery township, and erected a brick church. Rev. Mr. Wolf was the first preacher. The Rev. Adam Staump preached at the same time, the congregation being partly Lutheran and partly German Reformed. The Rev. William Galbraith subsequently took charge of the congregation.
The German Lutherans of Ashland. having organized some time prier, erected a neat brick church in iso8. The first minister was Rev. Mr. Schmidt. The present

minister is C. R. O. Muchier. The members number about thirty.
The German Reformed Lutherans of Ashland, having organized some time prior, erected a new frame church in 1867. The membership is about fifty. The present minister is Rev. Mr. Mutsinger.
The Winebrenarians erected a church, near the east line of Vermillion township, in 1835. It has now about seventy-five members. The early ministers were Rev. Thomas Hickerall and Jacob Keller.
CHAPTER XXXIII. THE PIONEERS OF THE YEAR IS25.
The Settlements in the Various Townships. - Lake .- Mohican .-- Perry. -Jackson .-; Green .-- Vermillion. - Montgomery .- Orange. - Mifflin. -- Milton .--- Clearcreek. - Ruggles. - Troy .-- Sullivan.
IN the settlement of the various townships prior to 1825; the arrival of pioneers has been fully detailed; and, since we will not have space for a personal notice of each pioneer, at a later period, we have concluded to give the name of each voter and male citizen, so far as possible, at that date.
That the list may be properly arranged, we will first give the townships in the fifteenth range -- Lake, Mohi- can, Perry and Jackson.

It will be seen by consulting the foregoing lists, that the population of the territory now constituting Ashland county, in 1825 was much larger than is supposed by many. If we estimate six members to cach family, the aggregate number of people in this region must have reached nearly eight thousand. When we reflect that in 1812 the entire population did not exceed one hundred and fifty souls, the settlement of the wilds of Richland county, for the next thirteen years, must have been exceedingly rapid; while the erection of cabins and im- provements dotted almost every part of the forest.
