Amos Fenn was born in Litchfield county, Connecticut, in September, 1793. His educational facilities were limited, but a taste for reading led him to employ his leisure time in the acquisition of informa- tion, so that he became a remarkably well posted man. At the age of fifteen, his father having died, he was apprenticed at the trade of house carpentering. In 1817 he came to Ohio, and landed first at the mouth of the Huron, then went to Ogontz Place, now Sandusky. He was accom- panied on this journey by Silas Dewey, with whom he afterwards came to Green Creek. While at Sandusky he made the acquaintance of W. B. Smith, whose sister he married. In February, 1820, he joined the party consisting of the Pogue family, Silas Dewey, and Giles Thompson, and came to Clyde. Mr. Camp was at that time making the survey of the Indian pur- chase, and found Mr. Fenn a valuable em- ploye. When theland came into market, Mr. Fenn made a purchase and started an improvement. He was in the habit of saving the odds and ends of time. He occupied bad weather in the manufacture

So rapidly did the township fill up after the initial improvements had been made that it is impossible even to give the names of all settlers, even those who built per- manent homes. This part of the county has been particularly favored with a pro- gressive, energetic class of people who have accumulated wealth, and given praiseworthyattention to matters of general culture and refinement. Brief mention of some of the leading families will not be in- appropriate in this connection.
