WEST BEAVER UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
The Associate Presbyterian congregation of West Beaver was organized about the year 1806, when the congregation was under the jurisdiction of the Presbytery of Chartiers. In 1808 the Presbytery appointed Rev. Mr. Pringle to preach at the West Beaver branch of Little Beaver on the last Sabbath in November. Preaching was more frequently enjoyed after that, and in September, 1813, Rev. Joseph Scroggs was appointed to preach the fourth Sabbath in November and the first Sabbath in September. In April, 1814, the Presbytery granted a petition for supplies and the dispensation of the Lord's Supper at West Beaver. Among the supplies were Revs. Mr. Imbrie, Joseph Scroggs, Pringle, Blair, Douan, Douglass, E. N. Scroggs, and others.
The first settled pastor was Rev. E. N. Scroggs, who en- tered upon his labors Aug. 1, 1820, although he was not ordained until the following November. He was at the same time ordained pastor of the churches at Calcutta and "Four-Mile."

HISTORY OF COLUMBIANA COUNTY, OHIO.
Mr. Scroggs remained the pastor until 1838, when he resigned and was succeeded by Rev. J. W. Harsha, who was ordained in 1840. Rev. S. T. Herron followed him in 1846, and preached until 1867, when the introduction of politics into his sermons caused dissensions in the congre- gation, and he retired. Rev. J. H. Leiper succeeded him in 1868, and in 1877 Rev. H. H. Brownlee, the present pastor, assumed charge.
Until 1821 public worship was chiefly held in a white- oak grove on John Guthrie's place, half a mile north of West Point. In that year, William Reed and Henry Ben- ner having donated two acres of land on section 18, a hewed log church-building was erected there, and there, too, the congregation laid out the burying-ground now in use. The church was replaced in 1851 by the substantial frame edifice . now occupying the same site. John Arm- strong and Thomas Roseburg were the first elders, and served from 1806 to 1814. All the settled pastors of the congregation, except Rev. E. N. Scroggs, are living.
THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
The organization known as the Methodist Episcopal church of Williamsport was founded as early as 1820, when a class was organized at the house of William Craw- ford, in Madison township, under the leadership of Joseph Kernan.
Services were held at Mr. Crawford's house for some years, and, although preaching was at that time not easily obtainable, occasional services were enjoyed. The first min- ister who was regularly in charge was Rev. Mr. Bronson, who is said to have been a faithful and energetic worker, under whose ministrations the little band of Methodists prospered and grew in strength.
The members included people from not only Madison township, but from adjoining townships as well, and in 1838-up to which time worship had been held in Mr. Crawford's house-it was decided to build a house of wor- ship at what is now Williamsport,-a location of more general convenience. At this time the church numbered about 40 members.
Rev. James M. Bray preached the sermon at the dedica- tion of the new church-edifice, and, after that, among those who were pastors in that house were Revs. Callender, M. L. Wickley, Henderson, Ansley, John Huston, Andrew Huston, and Mr. Crouse.
In 1871 it was determined to build a new church, and to accommodate the large proportion of members from Middleton, Elk Run, and St. Clair townships, the structure was erected upon the four corners made by Madison, Mid- dleton, Elk Run, and St. Clair townships, and there it now stands. The first pastor thereiu was Rev. A. J. Lane, since whom the pastors have been Revs. Leggett, John Huston, Bedall, Jas. M. Bray, and Mr. Kulp, the latter being in charge in May, 1879. The church is prosperous, and has a membership of 74.
THE MIDDLE BEAVER CHURCH.
About 1830, or perhaps before, a Presbyterian church, known as the Middle Beaver church, was organized, and the members directly thereafter built a frame honse of
worship. Among those who were prominently connected with the church were H. Gaston, Sr., H. Gaston, Jr., Jos. Lyons, Wm. McCammon, John McCammon, Mathias Schurts, James McCaskey, Joseph Fife, and Robert Glenn.
The organization became somewhat divided in 1838, and in that year it was dissolved, a portion of the members joining the church at Clarkston, and the residue going over to the Madison church.
MADISON CHURCH.
In the year 1838, Wm. Brown and James McCaskey donated a piece of land in section 10 for the purpose of erecting a new church as the foundation for a new congrega- tion, the reasons therefor being that many settlers in the northern part of the township desired a place of worship near at home.
The church was erected in 1838, and Dec. 27, 1838, the Madison Presbyterian congregation, with 21 members, was organized by the New Lisbon Presbytery. The first elders chosen were George Livingston, Samuel McDewitt, and Daniel Crawford. The first stated supply was Rev. J. B. Graham, who preached here half his time from 1838 to 1842. The first pastor was Rev. Wm. McCarty, who served from 1843 to 1845. Revs. Thomas McGill and A. O. Pat- terson preached between 1845 and 1847, from which time Rev. Mirvin Johnson supplied the pulpit until 1853. Rev. Mr. Price followed him, and after him Revs. David Robin- son, Wm. Laverty, Robert Hayes, William Dickson, Wm. Dalzell, and David Hargest, the latter being the present pastor.
The church-edifice, built in 1838, was replaced in 1866 by the one now in use.
In addition to the elders first chosen, other elders have been John Croft, Peter Campbell, Edward Crawford, Robert Glenn, Philip March, John Queen, Peter Treffinger, John Travis, Daniel Crawford, George Robinson, Jesse Glenn, and Rufus Blair.
The church is exceedingly prosperous, and has a mem- bership of 160.
SCHOOLS.
One of the first teachers in the Scotch settlement was John McBane, who taught in an old log school-house on what was called Devore's Run. McBane was a young man, and a student in Jefferson College, in Pennsylvania. During college vacations he taught in the Scotch settle- ment, studying law meanwhile. He is reported to have been very strict in his discipline, and by some was regarded as unnecessarily severe in his system. He became after- wards a physician of some note in Cadiz,. Ohio.
Andrew Smith was also an early school-teacher, but his teaching was confined to Yellow Creek township, although he lived in Madison.
John Grant taught several years on the place now owned by Samuel Mick. John Elliott taught in various places, as did Daniel Smith ; the latter, who was regarded as a model pedagogue, removing afterwards to Canada.
The educational advantages of that time were not what would now be called good, nor were the opportunities for enjoying them frequent or of very long duration. About

TOWNSHIP OF MADISON.
three months' schooling per year was as much as the most ardent pupil hoped for, and it was as much as any of them received. The school-books were the simplest, and the log school-houses of exceedingly primitive construction, with slabs for desks and benches and greased paper for window-panes. Tradition says, however, that the scholars were very much in earnest when they went to school, and improved their limited time and opportunities in such a way that in the course of time, from the ranks of those very pupils, rose competent teachers, who achieved favorable notice abroad as well as at home.
CEMETERIES.
The first grave-yard laid out in the Scotch settlement occupied a lot which was partly on Alex. McIntosh's place and partly on Andrew McPherson's. When the township- line was run between Yellow Creek and Madison, it passed through the centre of the grave-yard, which may still be seen upon the farm of Mr. Alex. M. Bune, in Yellow Creek township, on section 6. In 1804, only two graves were there,-those of Mrs. Forsyth and a child of Alex. McIn- tosh, the first persons buried there. The next burial ground was laid out upon John Smith's farm, where there was also to be a church, but the church was not erected. The Yellow Creek church cemetery, laid out in 1827, still remains the general grave-yard used by the Scotch settle- ment. It is a neatly-kept and prettily-attractive spot, wherein the ashes of many of the Scotch pioneers repose amid such surroundings as seem peculiarly appropriate to a country church-yard, where time-worn headstones stand half buried in luxuriant grass, or sheltered by the rich foliage of noble-looking trees. Besides this ground, there are others in the township,-at the West Beaver church, Madison church, and other places, as well as family burying-grounds of the olden time.
The first person buried in the Yellow Creek church-yard was Jeannette, daughter of " Prophet" McLean. About that time there was a commotion about certain " body- snatchers," who in the interest of a few physicians had been robbing grave-yards for " subjects;" the friends of the Mc- Leans, determined that the grave of the young lady should not be desecrated, watched by it day and night for some
time, fully armed and prepared to give the resurrectionists a very warm reception.
PUBLIC MEN.
Madison has furnished many excellent citizens for the occupation of public office without the township limits. John Quinn and Philip March have been State legislators, Thomas Creighton was associate judge, Joseph Irwin and James McCaskey county commissioners, John Reid probate judge, Cupt. H. Wines (?) and J. H. Quinn county treasurers, and J. J. Scroggs county auditor.
INDUSTRIES.
Madison is exclusively an agricultural township, and, apart from a few grist- and saw-mills, there is no industry save that of farming.
Sheep and cattle are raised to a considerable extent, while the land, which is in many parts richly productive, yields bountifully of corn, oats, and wheat.
Attempts have been made to find oil, and several wells have been sunk, but thus far the ventures have not proved very successful. In 1865 a Pittsburgh corporation, known as the Long's Run Oil Company, sunk a well to the depth of four hundred feet, and one in 1866 to the depth of eight hundred feet, upon land lying in sections 27 and 22. Although indications of oil were plentifully shown, oil itself was not found, and efforts to find it in that locality have not been renewed since 1866.
A number of farmers residing near West Point organized a company in that vicinity in 1877 for the purpose of boring for oil at that point. They went down one thousand and three feet, and, after striking in small quantity a heavy kind of oil, rested temporarily. It is the belief among many that oil in paying volume exists in this well at a lower depth, but some of the owners are incredulous, and, declining to make further investments, the enterprise is at a stand-still.
Sorghum-growing received at one time, not long ago, con- siderable attention at the hands of farmers in the northern part of the township. Eells, George & Co. put up a sorghum- mill on section 10, and made at first considerable molasses. Latterly there has not been much done in this direction.

MIDDLETON.
This township is located on the Pennsylvania line, and is known in the government survey as township No. 7, in range No. 1. It lies south of Unity, east of Elk Run, north of St. Clair, and contains thirty-six full sections, whose surface presents a broken, and, in some localities, even a mountainous, aspect. Many of the hills are too abrupt for cultivation, and are valuable only as being the depositories of minerals. Coal, iron, salt, and petroleum abound, the former in almost illimitable quantities. Build- ing-rock, flagging-stones, cement, and a superior potter's clay may also be procured in many sections. The soil is variable, being a clay, clayey loam, sandy loam, or alluvium, and is adapted for a great variety of products, including the tenderer kinds of fruit. The valleys are unusually productive, and the township, notwithstanding it has some poor land, ranks well agriculturally.
The principal stream is North Beaver Creek, which en- ters the township from the east, south of the centre of section 12, and, after flowing southwest a mile and a half and taking the waters of Bull Creek, has a general south- erly course. It is a wild, turbulent stream, and yields but little water-power in the township. Bull Creek, its prin- cipal affluent, flows from the northwest, taking in its course through Middleton the waters of Little Bull Creek and Leslie's Run. Like the Beaver, it is a rapid stream, with a deep valley bordered by rugged hills, which are thickly covered with evergreens and tanglewood, giving it a wild and picturesque appearance in some localities. The other streams of the township arc Brush Run, Rough Run, and the Middle Beaver. The latter makes a small bend into the township on the southeastern part of section 31, and the former are only large brooks. Many springs of excel- lent water abound, and the natural drainage of the town- ship renders it one of the healthiest in the county.
PIONEER SETTLERS.
On account of its proximity to Pennsylvania, the first settlers of Middleton belonged to a class of people popu- larly known as squatters, who came here in the belief that they were locating on Pennsylvania soil, and that they could, therefore, hold their land by right of possession, according to the usages which prevailed in the western part of that State. Usually, these people were not energetic nor enter- prising, but were content if they were the owners of a rude log cabin, with a puncheon floor and greased-paper window, which stood within easy access of a spring of water, beyond which was an unobstructed range on which their cattle might feed. What little land they cultivated yielded only the simplest food, but, with the fish and game that might readily be procured, they eked out a living which was not utterly destitute of comforts or enjoyment. To this class
belonged Benjamin Wright, John Wilson, Jacob Welker, Andrew Wisely, Stephen Pearce, Joseph Watson, Benjamin Craige, John Heckathorn, and others whose names are no longer remembered. The settlements were first made along the streams of the township, and John Leslic, who located in the northern part soon after 1800, was probably what might be called the first permanent settler, although never very prominently identified with the interests of the town- ship.
A few years later Aaron Brooks settled on section 14, and improved the water-power there to operate saw- and grist-mills. In the fall of 1804 he sold his interest to Baltzer Young, of Adams Co., Pa., and the following ycar removed to another part of the county. In 1805 Young brought on his family, and lived there until his death, in 1846. He had sons named Jacob, John, Peter, and Samuel, and three daughters, Mary, Elizabeth, and Margaret. Of these Peter Young, now a resident of New Lisbon, is the only surviving member of a family which took a very conspicuous part in the early affairs of Mid- dleton.
Before this period, in 1802 and carlier, Job Rossell set- tled on section 13, where he reared three sons, Thomas, Caleb, and Job; the latter is still living in the northern part of the township. On the same section were Abraham Z., Joel, Levi, and Robert Rogers, and John Briggs. The latter removed early; and many of the early settlers of Middleton resided there only a few years, until the interior of the county and the country beyond presented more favorable conditions for pioncer-homes, when they left, and it is extremely difficult to obtain an accurate account of them, and others who deserve mention in this connection.
On section 12 the pioneers were John Richardson and his sons,-Samuel, John, and Joseph. The latter removed to New Lisbon, and was among the first settlers of that place; others of the family remained in this locality. On the same section lived John Booth, Alexander Huston, and Edward Earle as carly as 1804. The former had sons named John, Isaac, Jeremiah, IIiram, William, Jacob, and Ephraim, some of whom yet live in the township.
On section 23 the settlers of that period were Levi Jennings, Francis Andrews, and John Eakin, and on sec- tion 1 they were John and George Grate and Thomas Barton. Afterwards some of the Hustons and the Burts settled here. Rev. John Burt, who came in 1812, had thirteen children. The same year Hugh Eaton settled on this section, on the farm occupied by his son, Samuel ; another son, Isaac, lived on the same section until his death, a year ago.
On section 10 the carly settlers were Bernard Feazle and Robert Billingsley. It is said that the latter crossed the

Alleghanics in a wagon which had wooden tires. He rcared sons named Charles, George, John W., Jefferson, Newton, and Amos S., all of whom became useful citizens of the township, and some yet reside there.
On section 3, among the pioneers were Thomas Rogers, who came in 1806, George Brown, who came in 1804, and Samuel Gorby and Henry Garrett. A son of Rogers, James, was born on the homestead, which he now occupies. Descendants of the others also live in the township.
Benjamin Scott made some early improvements on sec- tions 4 and 9, and among other pioneers on section 4 were Ambrose and Robert Martin ; on 9 were Nathan, Joshua, and John Crawford.
Parley Bowen was a pioneer on section 5, on the creek, and north, on the farm now occupied by J. M. Rudibaugh, was Joseph Thompson as early as 1804. His son, Joseph, became prominent in county and State politics. Next, on section 6, James McArtor early settled, on the farm now owned by Aaron Bradfield, whose parents were among the pioneers of Fairfield.
On section 7, Aaron Boram and Stephen Cooper made the first improvements ; on section 18 were first the Sid- dalls, and later Israel Cope, who died here a few years ago, aged ninety-two years. A son, also named Israel, yet lives on this section.
Adon Morlan settled on section 8 in 1805, on a tract of land which had been slightly improved by a squatter named Gibbony. He lived there until his death, in 1857. Jona- than Marsh came to live on this section permanently in 1816, and the homestead is now occupied by one of his sons-in-law, Jacob Taylor. On this also lived, among the earliest pioncers, James Marsh and James Craw- ford, both of whom removed. On the section south, No. 17, Jacob and Jonathan Heacock were early and promi- nent ; and on a place which had slight improvements, made by a man named Johnson, Jesse Underwood afterwards lived. He had sons, named William and Newton, who have descendants in the township. On the present C. N. Kirtland place, on this section, Thomas McMillan was a pioneer, rearing sons named Taylor and Joseph.
On section 19, Benjamin Pyle and his sons, Aaron, Henry, and Ellwood, were among the very earliest settlers; and to section 20, John Edmundson, the father of John, Jonathan, Eli, Amos, William, Nathan, Franklin, and Hiram Edmundson, came about the same period.
A little later, in 1808, Alexander Underwood settled on section 21, where he lived until his death. He had two sons, named Jesse and Alexander, and some of their chil- dren yet occupy this section.
Among the prominent settlers who came at a later period, after 1810, was Richard Fitz-Randolph. In 1812 he located on section 13, buying a tannery which had been established there by Archibald Scott and William Hamilton, and lived in that locality until his death, October, 1873. Hle reared sons named Bailcy F., Reuben F., Kersey F., Jonathan F., Richard F., Eli J. F., and Joseph F. Several of these yet reside in that locality, and are among the most enterprising citizens of the township and the castern part of the county.
The same year came James Fitzsimmons, and entered
the west half of section 25, where one of his sons, Thomas, yet lives. Another son, James, is a resident of section 28; a son, William, died while a youth, and there were also a number of daughters. James Fitzsimmons died in Feb- ruary, 1836.
In 1814, John Vale and his son, Eli, came from York, Pa., and settled in the southwestern part of the township. The latter reared a number of sons, among them John F., at present a resident of section 17, where his father died, April 25, 1879, aged nearly ninety years, and at his death the oldest person in the township.
In this part of Middleton, among other early and promi- nent families, were the Saints, Hustons, Guys, Ashfords, Shirtz, Lyons, Tennis, Hannas, Stephens, and others, whose names cannot be here produced.
From 1808 till 1824 immigration was very great. In 1821 there were more than two hundred voters in the township, and the number of families a few years later was probably greater than at present. In 1838 the following persons paid a road tax, levied on the chattel property of the township, and were therefore residents :
