HISTORY
OF THE
TOWNSHIPS AND VILLAGES OF COLUMBIANA COUNTY.
BUTLER.
This township lies upon the north border of the county, west of the centre, and is township 16, in the fourth range. It is bounded on the north by Goshen and Perry townships, on the east by Salem and Perry, on the south by Hanover, on the west by Knox, and contains an area of thirty-two square miles. Its surface is mostly hilly upland, covered with fertile farms and dotted with woodlands, which still retain much of their primitive wildness. The soil is chiefly a sandy loam, and is well adapted to the raising of grain and small fruits, to the latter of which much attention is given. The principal streams in the western part of the township are tributaries of the Mahoning. One branch rises in the north part of the township and flows southwesterly through the valley to the west line of the township; another rises near the middle of the township's south line, in the lower range of sections, and flows northwesterly, uniting with the first-named branch at the west line of the township, on section 19.
A branch of the west fork of Little Beaver Creek rises on section 22, in the eastern portion of the township, flows a little east of south through Winona, and passes out of the township one and a quarter miles west of the southeast corner.
Cold Run rises near the south line of Perry township, flows southerly, and leaves the township a short distance north of the southeast corner.
EARLY SETTLEMENTS.
William Whinnery entered section 27 in 1800 or 1801, and settled with his family on the southwest quarter in 1806. He had sons,-Robert, John, Thomas, James, William, and Zimri. John, then a single man, came in advance of the family, and, having no means for baking, traveled four miles to the house of his nearest neighbor, John Schooley, where his loaves were baked.
Mr. Whinnery divided the section among his sons, giv- ing to Robert, the eldest, the southeast quarter, where Hannah Whinnery now resides; to John, the northeast quarter, where David, son of Robert, now lives; to Thomas, the northwest quarter, where the family of S. H. Bennett resides; to Zimri, the youngest, the southwest quarter, which constituted the homestead. The father and mother,
William and Abigail Whinnery, resided with their son Zimri while they lived. Martha Whinnery, the widow of a son of Robert, now resides at the homestead. James received from his father the southwest quarter of section 31, in the southwest corner of the township. Dr. J. O. Whinnery, son of James and father of Miss Abby Whin- nery, the well-known vocalist, resides in Salem. James, another son, lives a short distance west from Salem. Wil- liam settled upon the northwest quarter of section 32, where his son resides.
Sampson King settled on the southwest quarter of sec- tion 31; George Mountz, who married Catharine Woolf, on the northeast quarter, which was afterwards divided into three parts and sold; Richard Beck bought the northeast quarter, where Alvin Beck afterwards lived.
About the year 1810, William Galbreith entered the north half of section 29. It was divided between the two sons, Thomas and Samuel, and is still owned by them. Peter Ward bought the south half of the section.
John Martin entered the southeast quarter of section 21. Hugh Martin settled on the east half of the northeast quar- ter. John and George Bricker entered part of section 22 in 1814.
David Swadner, from Frederick Co., Md., settled in 1815 on the southwest quarter of the section. At this time there was no road from Salem to New Garden.
In the year 1803, David Burson and John Johnson, brothers-in-law, entered section 26. James Hoopes, in 1818, purchased several 80-acre lots, and, with his wife and chil- dren,-Joseph, Thomas, and Daniel,-settled on the south- east quarter of the section. Several of his children are living in this part of the town. Robert, a son, lives on the old homestead; William, on section 35; Thomas, on seo- tion 23; Daniel, on section 25; James, on section 28. John Johnson chose the northeast quarter of section 26, where his son Edward resides. Mr. Johnson was a prominent member of the Society of Friends.
James and William Randels came from York Co., Pa., in 1806. James settled on the northeast quarter of section 25. He had three sons. His daughter, Maria, married Samuel Test, a descendant of Samuel Test, an early settler. William Randels, with his wife and eight children, moved

TOWNSHIP OF BUTLER.
first into Hanover township. Isaac, his son, settled in the northeast quarter of section 25. He married Elizabeth Teegarden, daughter of Wm. Teegarden, of Salem town- ship. William, a son of Isaac, is living on the farm his father located. Albert, another son, lives in Indiana. On the old farmn is a saw-mill, built in 1840.
Isaac Test came to Butler when his father, Zaccheus, came to Perry township. He was born June 8, 1787, and in the middle of October, 1803, settled on section 23, which his father had entered. Isaac divided his farm be- tween his sons and a daughter. Zaccheus had the home- stead, situated on the northeast corner of the section. Daniel settled in 1845 on the northwest quarter of the same section. Hannah married C. Lamborn, and located on the south- west quarter, where she and her husband still reside.
Samuel Test, brother of Isaac, settled on the south half of the section. His son Isaac lived on the west portion of that half.
Henry Woolf, prior to his removal to Ohio, was a farmer in London Co., Va., and carried his produce from thence to Alexandria and the "Federal City," as Washington was called. He removed to Butler in 1804, accompanied by his wife and six children,-John, Jacob, George, Adam, Cath- arine, and Polly,-and entered, at $2 per acre, sections 18, 19, and 30. Upon the west half of the last-named section he built a log cabin, and lived to the age of seventy-two years. He died in 1834, and his son Jacob afterwards occupied the homestead. Polly married Jacob Sheets, who came in 1807, and received from her father a part of the northeast quarter of section 18. Mr. Sheets built a saw- mill, which is yet standing, and planted the willows now growing on the bank of the dam. He sold the prop- erty to Robert Harris, and removed to Williams Co., Ohio. Jacob came into possession of the southeast quarter of section 30, and upon the death of his father sold it to a Mr. Holverstadt, and then, 1834, moved to the home- stead on the west half of the section.
