John Kelly, from Brownsville, Pa. (whose sister Annie married Noah Grant), settled on Dry Run, where also his sons John and Isuiah, and his son-in-law, William Stout, located. John Kelly, like a good many of his neighbors, was given to illicit distilling, but he was the only one of them who was broken up by the "whisky boys," as the government raiders were called in those days. His misfor- tunes made him poor, and he moved out of the county to a place near Vinton, Ohio. Edward Carroll settled about 1800, and shortly afterwards removed to Hanover township. On the hill, west of the creek, were Charles Hoy, Nicholas Dawson, Thomas McCartney, John Gaddis (Scotch weaver), Solomon Cable, Jacob Darner, and Alexander Gaddis (all fariners).
Hon. Josiah Thompson, of East Liverpool, has in his possession the original patent granted by Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States, to Charles Blackmore, of section No. 34, in Liverpool township, occupied now in part by Mr. D. J. Smith, two miles north of East Liver- pool, on the Calcutta road. The document bears date Aug. 15, 1808, is signed by Thomas Jefferson as President and James Madison, Secretary of State, and reads as follows :
"THOMAS JEFFERSON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. " To all to whom these presents shall come, greeting :
" Know ye, that Charles Black more, assignee of Thomas Dougherty, having deposited in the Treasury a certificate of the Register of the Land-office at Steubenville, whereby it appears that full payment has been made for a lot or section number Thirty-four of Township num- ber Six in Range number One of the lands directed to be sold at Steu- benville by the Act of Congress entitled ' An act providing for the sale of the Lands of the United States in the Territory northwest of the Ohio, and above the mouth of Kentucky River,' and of the sots amendatory of the same; "There is granted by the United States unto the said Charles Blackmore the lot or section of land above described; To Have and to Hold the said lot or section of land with the appur- tenances, unto the said Charles Blackmore, his beirs and assigns forever.

The first shingled roof seen in the town was put upon Robert Boyce's log cabin by "Old Gauge," a carpenter, whose right name was Wm. Hudson. "Old Gauge" was a famous character, and the greatest whisky-drinker in the county, but never got drunk, could maul four hundred logs a day, and was, despite his drinking ways, a man of such steady nerve and industrious habits that there was not so excellent a workman for miles around. Incredible as it may appear, he drank a gallon of whisky every day,-80 the story goes,-taking a pint at a certain hour each day, wherefore he was called " Old Gauge." He never made a bargain to work for a man without stipulating for the regular supply of whisky, and always got it. Although he was never known to be drunk while in Liverpool, early habits told upon him in his old age, which he passed in Virginia.
Returning to the subject of distilleries, passing mention may be made that whisky was cheap in the early days, else " Old Gauge" would have sometimes failed on his daily gallon. Besides Kelly's distillery, there were those of G. D. Mckinnon, James Montgomery, Wm. Badders, Benja- min Blackmore, Geo. Hurlbut, Thomas Gaddis, Robert Wallace, John Polk, John Ainsley, Anthony Blackburn, and Alex. Young.
Of the early settlers who had taken part in the war of the Revolution were Joseph Mckinnon, Wm. C. Carnagy, John Black, Wm. Ligans, John Moore, and James Moore. Those who served in the war of 1812 were Capt. Wm. Folks, John Jackson, T. A. Mckinnon, Mathew Riley, James Guddis, Nicholas Dawson, Wm. Moore, Wm. Moffatt, John Chamberlain, John Cheney, Wm. Cheney, Arthur Burbeck, John Taggart, Wm. Taggart, Andrew Darner, Joseph Green, Wm. Green, Androw Green, Thomas George, Wm. Phillips, and Richard Boyce. Wm. C. Larwell issued in 1812 " a call to men of patriotism to enlist in the cavalry service for the war of 1812."
As early as 1809, or before, Thomas Fawcett, Jr., opened a tavern in Fawcettstown, at what is now called Gaston's Corners, on Second Street, in a hewn-log house, and estab.

lished a ferry. This tavern was afterwards kept by James Kincaid, John Gamble, John Smith, and Wm. Thompson, cach of whom also kept the ferry. The first store of any consequence-Thomas Fawcett's being a trifling affair- was kept by Sutton & McNichol about 1809. They came down from Pittsburgh and bored for salt on Little Yellow Creek, and established a store at the mouth of Brady's Run, giving charge thereof to Richard Boyce. They afterwards removed their store to where Gaston's drug-store now is, und after a failure to find salt in paying quantities returned to Pittsburgh. Following after these storekeepers were Moses Welch, Stock & Wickerman, and Sanford C. Hill. Mr. Hill, who settled in Liverpool in 1819, opened the first dry-goods store in the town. He was for many years one of the most prominent men in the place, and achieved wide distinction elsewhere through his astronomical and other calculations for almanacs in both this and foreign. countries.
The first frame house in the town was raised by Joseph Mckinnon, near where the town-hall now stands, and sold by him to Jacob Courtney. The first brick house was built by Postmaster Collins, about opposite the site of the Brunt House.
July 4, 1811, a monster barbecue was held in a sugar- grove, on the river-bank, near where Manley & Cartwright's pottery now is. People gathered from miles around to the number of 4000. William C. Larwell, the lawyer, read the Declaration of Independence, and Capt. John Wilcox, at the head of a grand array of militiamen, shot one of his side-whiskers off by accident, to the great amusement of everybody.
When St. Clair, or Fawcettstown, was well under way, and a county-seat was to be established, an attempt was made to make it the county-seat, but the effort was a failure, although only four votes were lacking to make it a success. This failure somewhat disheartened the inhabitants, and the place thrived but poorly for some time. In 1816 matters revived somewhat with the advent of John Faw- cett, Daniel Moore, and James Pemberton, three merchants from Wheeling, who, purchasing Thomas Fawcett's old mill and 200 acres, now occupied by East Liverpool, laid out the town anew and called it Liverpool.
They advertise lots for sale by inserting in the Ohio Patriot, July 2, 1816, the following :
"Liverpool.
"Lots for sale adjoining Fawcettstown. This place is situated on & handsome bottom of the Ohio River, and has a good harbor for boats. It is forty-five miles below Pittsburgh by water, twenty-five above Steubenville, and nearly on a direct line from Washington, Pa., to New Lisbon, O.,-thirty-eight miles from the former and four- teen from the latter. This is the nearest point of the river to Lake Erie, being about eighty or eighty-five miles from Cleveland. As a place of deposit, it has many advantages, having good roads, and the nearest point of the river to New Lisbon, Canton, Warren, etc.
"The site for a town is beautiful, in full view of the river, and has good springs of water, and buildings convenient and plenty. The country around is well settled and has good grist- and saw-mills in the neighborhood.
"The subscribers will offer a number of lots for sale in the above- mentioned place, Sept. 5, 1816, at public auction, one quarter of the purchase-money to be cash, and the balance on easy payments.
"JOHN FAWCETT,
" DANIEL MOORE,
" JAMES PEMBERTON."
They sold about twenty lots at from $20 to 830 each, gave two lots for school purposes, and donated lots to John Smith and Philip Cooper, conditioned upon their erecting houses at once. They laid out a road up the hill on the opposite side of the river, and proposed establishing glass- works, but that scheme miscarried.
John Smith, above mentioned, was justice of the peace, but, wearying of the slow growth of Liverpool, removed to Wheeling in 1825.
In 1817, Fawcett, Moore & Pemberton took a govern- ment contract to supply forts on the Missouri River, and, discouraged at the failure of Liverpool's expected prosperity, gave up their efforts in its behalf, and moved away.
The town had so lost its population that in 1823 there were but "six families and two bachelors" within its bor- ders, and the only street a wide sward, with a horse-path through its centre, that street being the Second Street of the present.
In 1824 a turnpike from Cleveland to Liverpool via New Lisbon was completed, und about that time Claiburn Simms, purchasing Fawcett, Moore & Pemberton's in- teresta, became the third proprietor of the tract now occu- pied by East Liverpool. In 1826 the town was still a forlorn place. There was no post-office; mail had to be obtained at Calcutta, Beaver Bridge, or Wellsville; there was no steamboat-landing except at high water; and alto- gether the outlook was cheerless. With the building of Scott & Hill's steam saw-mill, however, in 1830, the pros- pect brightened, and in that year a post-office was estab- lished, with John Collins as postmaster, when the town was called East Liverpool, to distinguish it from Liverpool in Medina Co., Ohio. Shortly after this, Theophilus .A. Mckinnon set up a hat-shop, one Coffin began to build boats where Homer Laughlin's pottery is, and George D. Mckinnon, with Abraham Davidson, engaged in the flat- boat building business, while farther along the steamboat " Liverpool" was built at Coffin's yard, and put into the trade between Pittsburgh and Wheeling, under command of Cupt. Richard Huston. Capt. Huston, who still resides in East Liverpool, aged eighty-one, settled in that place in 1823, and started a tannery. Subsequently he began to build flat-boats in East Liverpool, and in one season con- structed as many as twenty-six. He ran the " Liverpool" between Pittsburgh and Wheeling one season, and took her to the Arkansas River, where she was wrecked soon after. Mr. Coffin built two steamboats besides the " Liver- pool," and other boats were also built at the same point.
EARLY INDUSTRIES.
In 1805 or 1806, John Beaver and John Coulter built a paper-mill, for making writing-paper, on Little Beaver Creek, near its mouth, and called it the Ohio Paper-Mill. It was the first industry of its kind in Ohio, and the second west of the Alleghanies. The mill-dum was carried away some years after the enterprise was started, and the paper- mill became a thing of the past.
The first grist-mill in the county was built by Joseph Fawcett, on Carpenter's Run, just below the present site of East Liverpool. The second grist-mill was built by John Beaver, on Little Beaver Creek, one and a half miles from

the river. Opposite the grist-mill Beaver built a saw-mill, which was the first suw-mill in the township. The second saw-mill was built by Joseph Fawcett at Jethro.
A steam saw-mill was erected about 1830 by William Scott and John Hill on the Ohio River, about where Man- ley & Cartwright's pottery now stands. The mill was, not long after, destroyed by fire.
The Sandy and Beaver Canal, which reached from Boli- var, on the Ohio Canal, to Glasgow, on the Ohio River, was begun in 1835, and discontinued upon the appearance of the panic in 1837. In 1845 work upon it was resumed and carried to completion. The canal was about seventy miles in length, of which twenty-five miles, from New Lis- bon to the Ohio, followed the course of Little Beaver Creek. The creek was made a part of the canal, and the old canal-locks are yet to be seen.
The venture was at no time a paying one, and, after a vain struggle, was abandoned upon the completion of the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad to Wellsville.
One of the most prominent of Liverpool's early physi- cians was Dr. B. B. Ogden, who practiced in East Liverpool from 18:30 to 1878, a period of forty-eight consecutive years, and who occupied a proud place in the esteem of his fellow-citizens.
TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION.
The territory now occupied by Liverpool was a part of St. Clair township until June 3, 1834, when Liverpool township was created by the board of county commis- sioners, Michael Arter, John Smith, and Thomas Cannon, as shown by the following extracts from their records :
"Tuesday, June 3, 1834 .- The petition of sundry citizens of St. Clair Township for the erection of a new township, to be composed of fraction 5 and the following sections in township 6, to wit, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36, which had been presented at the March sitting and postponed to the present meeting, and no objection being made there- to, and the Board being satisfied of the justness of the prayers of the petitioners, they do hereby create said fraction 5 and the following sections of township 6, to wit, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36, a township, und call it Liverpool. The Board orders an election of offers on Monday, June 23, at the house of Aaron Drawdy, in the town of Liv- erpool.

The township of Liverpool, as organized and at present constituted, embraces sections 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36, attached originally to township No 6, or St. Clair, and sec- tions 6, 12, 17, 18, 23, 24, 29, 30, 35, and 36 of the orig- inal fraction 5.
The entire tract measures nearly eleven miles across its northern boundary, about three on the western, and less than one and a quarter miles on the eastern border. From north to south the widest part of the township is from the centre of the north line direct to East Liverpool, a distance of three miles. The Ohio, bordering the southern line, gives it a ragged shape, and materially narrows the town- ship on both the east and the west.
EAST LIVERPOOL.
The village of East Liverpool was incorporated Jan. 4, 1834, and is the only village in the township. It is the seat of the most important pottery-manufacturing in- terest in America, is a landing-place for all steamboats plying on the Ohio between Pittsburgh and Cairo, and is also an important station on the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad, being four miles below the State line, forty-four miles below Pittsburgh, and the same distance above Wheeling.
It had in 1878 a population of 4160, and bids fair to in- crease in that direction in the future more rapidly even than it has in the past. It fronts on the river, and occupies in

its major portion a commanding elevation, whence the view of the river and the Virginia hills is exceedingly picturesque. It contains several imposing church-edifices, a fine town- hall and I. O. O. F. brick block, a costly common school building, two public halls, many fine private residences, three hotels, and numerous stores, besides the potteries and other industries elsewhere referred to.
It is a thriving place, full of business activity, and, as its pottery interests have been growing from the outset and are still expanding, the future is fruitful with promise to those who are interested in its prosperous development.
