in Farmington and died here, excepting Emily (Belden), who died in Kansas; William, who died in Parkman, and Chester, who survives. Ches- ter G. Wolcott, youngest son, was born in Con- necticut in 1803. He married, in 1843, Louisa S. Hudson, of Orwell. Their only child, Le- ander H., was killed while in his country's ser- vice in his nineteenth year.

Gad Hart, who came on with the Wolcott brothers in 1806, moved with his family to Hen- shaw in 1807, and took up his abode in the cabin near where the Wolcott store stands, at the center. This was the cabin erected the previous year.
The house built by Horace Wolcott was a little more pretentious than most pioneer dwell- ings. He hauled boards from Parkman, and
made a very comfortable cabin, with floors above and below and a door of boards. But when the family arrived and surveyed it, the women, thinking of the pleasant home they had left in the East, burst into tears.
During the winter months of 1807-8, the Wolcotts purchased their provisions in Mesopo- tamia, of Esquire Tracy. Sometimes they bought venison of the Indians; and on one occasion a fine buck was purchased for a silver dollar.
At this time the only roads in the township were paths marked by blazed trees. The State road from Warren to Painesville, running across the southwestern part of the township, had been marked out but was not bridged or worked. A little later it was cleared of its obstructions so that ox-teams could travel it. There was a route of travel from Warren via Bristol and Mesopo- tamta, running diagonally through the northeast of Henshaw, and a bridge across Grand river about one mile and a fourth northeast of the center of the township. The winter of 1807-08 was spent in clearing, and in the spring crops were put in which yielded fairly. During the year the settlement received quite an addition to its members by the arrival of William Wilson, Josiah Wolcott (second son of Theodore), Gad Barthol- omew, Ezra Curtis, John Hethman, J. P. Dan- ford, Dennis Lewis, Jacob Bartholomew, and one or two others. Some of these were married and brought their families; others were single.
During the early years of the settlement the nearest place where milling could be done was Parkman. Garrettsville and Bristol were often visited for the same purpose. Frequently the man or boy who went to mill was obliged to make the journey one of two days' duration.
Eben Wildman settled in the eastern part of the township in 1813, and for many years his was the only house in the township east of the center. Several of the name are still residents of Farmington and vicinity.
Dennis Lewis came to West Farmington in 1810, at which time there were but seven fami- lies living in this place. His daughter, Mrs. Chauncey Taft, now a widow, is still living, and though seventy-eight years of age, is hale and hearty. It was through the influence of Dennis Lewis that the name of Henshaw was changed to Farmington, also that of Bowlestown to Southington.

Quite a thriving settlement sprang up along the old State road, and log cabins were plentier there than frame houses are now. William Wilson was one of the first settlers on this road, followed by John Young, Daniel and Orrin Taft, and others. From the various Taft families residing here, that part of the township was long known as Taftsburg.
John Young, from Pennsylvania, settled about 1810 on the north bank of Grand river. He had but one child, a son, Eli, who soon after coming here married Catharine Bellows. He was a Quaker and paid his fine instead of going to the War of 1812. Eli Young raised a family of four children, all of whom are living : Sarah (Sager) Bristol ; Stephen, on the old homestead ; Mary A. (Henry), West Farmington, and Newton, Gustavus. John Young died in 1824.

Chauncy, Harvey, and Horace Taft, brothers of Daniel and Orrin, also settled in Taftsburg and reared families. They, however, were later settlers.
In May, 1814, Captain John Benton and his "company," consisting of his own family, Theo- dore Wolcott and his family, and David Bel- den with his family, left Connecticut for Henshaw. They were provided with horse and ox teams, and journeyed via Trenton, Philadel- phia, Harrisburg, and Pittsburg. At the latter place, then a little smoky village, they bought some flour, which they ate upon their arrival in Henshaw. The company reached here in safety in June, following up the State road from War- ren. From this road they were obliged to cut their way through the woods to the center.
David Belden came from Weathersfield, Con- necticut. He located where Colonel H. H. Hatch now lives, and afterwards where Shelden Spencer resides, near the river. His family con- sisted of twelve children, all of whom lived to
be married and bring up families, except one son, Daniel.
Chauncey Brockett, from New York State, came to Farmington immediately after the War of 1812, and settled on the river where he cleared up a farm. He died there at about the age of seventy-six. Alanson Brockett, his son, was born in western New York in 1805, and came to Ohio with his parents. He married Anna Maria Moffet and settled on a part of his father's farm. In 1835 he moved to Bristol, settling on the old Moffet farm on West street. The last three years of his life he resided in Bristolville, where he died in 1875. He was twice married, his first wife being the mother of all of his children, fourteen in number, six boys and eight girls. Four boys and two girls are dead.
John Benton moved to this township from Bristol, Connecticut, making the fourteenth family in Henshaw. They journeyed with one yoke of oxen and a horse, and were forty days upon the way.

Henry D. and Harriet survive, the latter in Dakota. Washington died at Beaufort, South Carolina, and Polly at Council Bluffs, Iowa. H. D. Ben- ton was born in 1810, and has resided in Farm- ington the most of his life. He married in 1843 Harriet H. Baldwin, of Parkman.

H. and Mrs. Cotton, in Farmington. Mr. Loveland died in 1870; Mrs. Loveland, whose maiden name was Lydia Taft, in 1867.
