BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
ISAAC P. AND TRACY CASE.
Isaae P. Case and Ennice, his wife, a daughter of Zacchens Tracy, both of New York State, were the parents of four children previous to their emigration to Ohio, viz: Sophia, Philotha, Eliza and Tracy. The latter, the subject of this sketch, was born in the town of Seneca, Ontario county, New York, August 13, 1806. He came to Ohio, when one year old, with his parents. They first located in Cincinnati about 1807, and from there went into Champaign county. They were not satisfied with this location, and soon after arriving there removed to Maumee City, which place they were obliged to flee from because of the Indians.
Isaac P. Case, when the war of 1812 broke out, went into the army as fife major, and served until peace was restored, when he returned to Champaign county, whither his family had again gone. He came to Huron county in 1815 and purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land in New London, which cost him two dollars per aere. His home was then in the midst of the forest, which he gradually cleared away, his son assisting him after he became old enough. It was here that his daughter Eunice was born, about three years after his settlement.

Mr. Case was, during the whole of his long career, one of the most prominent men in the work of de- veloping the resources of the country, and was always actively engaged in some labor to advance the inter- ests of the community. Some idea of the respect that was entertained for him by the people among whom he dwelt may be obtained from the fact that he was the first justice of the peace elected in the town- ship of New London, and that he held the office for thirty-five years. He was the first postmaster in the village and his son the second, each of them holding the office about four years. He died in 1851.
Frrey Case
Tracy Case was married June 1, 1828, to Emeline, daughter of John Knapp, and they became the par- ents of three children, one son and two daughters: Lorinda, Eliza and Isaac P., two of whom are still liv- ing. The oldest daughter died in 1854. Isaac P., the son of Tracy Case, was married in 1852 to Mary L. Sutfin, and Ehza was married in 1850 to Stewart Parker, and moved to Michigan.
Tracy Case married his second wife, Mrs. Augusta M. Stewart, January 24, 1879.
Mr. Case has held the office of justice of the peace, has been twice elected township trustee, and has also held the office of township clerk. He has been a practitioner of medicine since 1841, ten years of the time elapsing since that date having been spent in Charlotte, Michigan.
The family of which he is a representative was the second in New London. As such it is identified in an important manner with the history and growth of this community, and varions facts in regard to the father and son will be found in the chapter devoted to New London.
JESSE PERKINS,
of New London, the son of Hoel Perkins, an early settler, has been long and favorably known as a resi- dent of the village where he now lives. His father (born December 17, 1794), and his mother, Mary Per- kins, (born May 7, 1795), came to Ohio from Greene county, New York, in 1835, and first located in the township of Fitchville. Two years later they went to New London, where they lived until after the mother's death, June 29, 1839, when Joel Perkins re- moved to Michigan. From that State he went to Iowa, where he died, May 1, 1875. They had ten children: Laura, Sally, Jesse, Lucy, Harriet, Harman, Russell, Amos, Harlow and Ward.
The subject of this brief biography was born April 16, 1822, in Greene county, New York, and was, con- sequently, thirteen years of age when he came with his parents to Ohio. He grew up under the usual circumstances of a farmer's boy, and possessing fairly good advantages. Making the most of his opportu- nities, he has met with the reward that naturally fol- lows, and has been successful in nearly all of the affairs of life. He has followed industriously the occupation of farming, and also the carpenter and joiner's trade. The house, of which a view is given upon another page, was built by him, upon his farm, in 1874.
Besides his application to his own business affairs, Mr. Perkins has given considerable attention to one or two public enterprises, and has taken a part in, and been occupied to a certain extent, with politics, although he is by no means a professional politician or seeker of place. He has held office several times in the township and corporation lists of New London, and since its establishment in 1878 has had the man- agement of the grounds of the New London fair asso- ciation, which he was instrumental in bringing into existence.
Mr. Perkins married, in 1857, Jeannette Thom, daughter of Alexander and Isabel Thom, natives of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, but then, and since 1837, residents of New London. The father, who was born February 13, 1799, is still living in Ruggles township, Ashland county, and the mother, born March 26, 1798, died April 23, 1873.
Mr. and Mrs. Perkins have been the parents of five children: Darwin, now in Kansas, Albert, Lena, Leona and Freddie. Lena Perkins died July 7, 1863.
E. H. CURTISS,
of New London, is a quiet, unassuming gentleman whose life has been an eventful one, full of varied ex- periences. He was born October 6, 1828, of pioneer parents, Charles and Jemima Curtiss, at Mendon, Monroe county, New York. His parents lived for a short time in Rochester, and then returning to the

old farm at Lester, New York, remained there until their son was four years of age when they removed to Ruggles. Mr. and Mrs. Curtiss lived there all of their lives, and the subject of this sketch remained with them until he was twenty-two years of age, receiving his book education in the common district schools of the township, and his physical development upon the homestead farm. When he turned his back upon

home, and went out into the world to seek his own fortune, he took up his residence in Wisconsin, and followed for short periods several callings, but finally settled down into the study of the daguerreotyping trade, in which he soon became proficient. He re- mained in Wisconsin, applying himself to his chosen occupation until 1852, when he became anxious to see more of life, and particularly those phases so well represented in the then young and undeveloped State
of Kansas. In company with several others, he made the journey by wagon, and finding a location favor- able to his business, determined to take up his resi- dence there. This he did in the following winter, after a trip back to Wisconsin. He followed his trade of picture making in Rock county, and remained there through the troublous time of the great drouth and famine, and through the exciting days that pre- ceded the breaking out of the rebellion.
In 1861 he went into the union army, not to secure bounty, or with any idea of personal advantage, but because he regarded it as his duty, enlisting in com- pany F., ninth regiment, Kansas cavalry. He was engaged most of the time on the detached service, scouting duty, and the various lines of warfare common to the frontier, but participated in some large battles, such as those of Locust Grove, Honey Springs (Indian Territory), Prairie Grove, (in Arkansas), and others. He was promoted, after two years' service, to the captaincy of company G., second regiment, Kansas colored infantry, and remained in this regi- ment for one year, when he received an honorable discharge from the service. Upon leaving the army, he visited the scenes with which he was familiar in Ohio, Wisconsin and Kansas, and was married in the last mentioned State, at Neosho Falls, to Martha E., daughter of William Phillips. He then went to Wisconsin, and engaged in the photographing busi- ness; went to Iowa; then resided for two years in New London, At the expiration of that period, Mr. Curtiss again went to Kansas, where he engaged in milling. It was while living here that his wife died- May, 1871-and that he suffered the loss of his child. Notwithstanding his double affliction, Mr. Curtiss remained in this, then desolate, place until 1825, when he went back to Wisconsin. He lived there until April. 1877, when he again became a resident of New London, where he has since lived, among the few who are left of his boyhood friends.
LYME.
NAME.
MAJOR JOSEPH STRONG stood sponsor at the chris- tening of the township whose history is briefly outlined in the following narrative, while the county commis- sioners, on the 19th day of September, 1819, per- formed the priestly functions, and by weight of official authority gave to the new-born child the name of Lyme, in honor of Lyme, Connecticut. There was evidently rhythm in this name for the early set- tlers of old Connecticut; for in New London county there are three townships that bear the appellation- Lyme, Old Lyme, and East Lyme, while at the month of the beautiful Connecticut river, on the eastern bank of that stream and on the Shore Line Railroad from New York to Boston, stands the town of Lyme. Lyme, Ohio, can trace its lineage through this town on the Connecticut back to Old England, on the south coast of which is situated the city of Lyme- Regis. From Lyme, England, to Lyme, Connecti- cut, came, more than two centuries ago (in 1666), a sturdy, strong-minded, resolute people, and gave the New England town a moral and intellectual charac- ter it has ever since retained, and which its western namesake in no small degree inherited. It was while Major Strong was a guest at the McCurdy man- sion in Lyme, Connecticut, that he resolved to fix the name to his home township. Richard McCurdy, of whom Major Strong purchased a large tract of land in this locality, made the latter's stay while in Lyme so pleasant that the Major, pleased with his host and the beautiful village on the banks of the Connecticut, resolved that he would have the town- ship's name changed to Lyme upon his return. This was done in 1819, as above stated. Prior to this time the township was known as Wheatsborough, in honor of a Mr. Wheat, who owned large tracts of land in towns four and five of the twenty-fourth range.

Thus it will be seen that the persons named in the right hand column are those who first came into pos- session of the lands in Lyme township, and that each section was purchased by them for one thousand three hundred and forty-four pounds seven shillings, New England currency; or, expressed in dollars and cents, four thousand four hundred and eighty-one dollars and sixteen cents. The original value of the four sections of Lyme township was therefore seventeen thousand nine hundred and twenty-four dollars and sixty-four cents.

HISTORY OF HURON AND ERIE COUNTIES, OHIO.
SETTLEMENT.
The history of the settlement of the west is of con- stantly recurring interest. The enterprise, intre- pedity and self-denial of the pioneers who left the comforts and privileges of their eastern homes and came to the Fire-lands, then a far-off region, asso- ciated in the minds of civilized people with savage wild beasts and Indians, must always command our highest respect and admiration. They endured hard- ships and privations without number, not for their own advantages merely-for they well knew that old age would steal upon them long before they should enjoy the fruits of their toil-but for their children and their children's children, that to them they might leave a goodly heritage. The most of those truly, but un- consciously, heroic men and women, have long rested from their labors, but the good they accomplished remains, the blessings they secured and transmitted endure, and are now the precious legacy of a happy, posperous and intelligent posterity.
Scattering settlements had been made in all the townships along the lake shore prior to the war of 1812; but the surrender of Detroit by General Hull, exposed that portion of country to the ravages of the enemy, that a general exodus of the settlers, southward, followed, and it remained almost entirely denuded of inhabitants until the signal victories, on both land and water, of the forces of the United States, rendered it safe for the former residents to return to their abandoned and, in many cases, runied homes.
The early settlement of Lyme, like that of most of her sister townships, was never very rapid. Much of the land was owned by minor heirs, and entangled with unsettled estates; more had been bought up by speculators and held by them at either so high a fig- ure as to greatly retard immigration, or not offered for sale at all; and besides all this, government land adjoining, so soon as it came into market, could be had for less than half the price generally at which the Fire-lands' tracts were held.
The first settler was Conrad Hawks, who penetrated the thick woods of Lyme in the year 1808. His lo- cation was in the northeast corner of the township on the farm afterwards so long occupied by John F. Adams. He remained in the township about ten years, when he removed to Green Springs, Seneca county.
In 1809, Michael Widner and John Stull moved in and settled near the location of the Episcopal church, the land they occupied being now owned by the heirs of the late Richard L. McCurdy. Although these families appear to have had but a brief residence in the township, they may nevertheless properly be called settlers, since they made a settlement in fact, and with the evident intention of remaining.
In the spring of 1811, Asa Sherwood came (pre- sumably) from Homer, Courtland county, New York, and settled in that portion of the township since
called the Sherwood prairie, near the northwest cor- ner. Two or three years afterwards he moved to lot number four, in the second section, the place now owned by Calvin Barnard. The change of location was made because of the overflow of his land in his former location in wet seasons, the water rising from the ground and submerging it to a considerable depth. Sherwood resided on the Barnard place until 1832, when he removed to La Grange, Indiana.
The first family that settled on the ridge was that of George Ferguson, who arrived in December, 1811. He located on the north line, and resided there until 1833, when he removed to Michigan.
In 1811, Major Joseph Strong came from Manlius, Onondaga county, New York, and, with other gen- tlemen, purchased eighteen hundred acres of land in what now are Lyme and Groton townships. He returned to the east and the next year came out with two sons, Nathan and Leicester. They took up their abode in a block house, on the bank of the creek where the stone mill and distillery were after- wards built, and remained there for about two years, when Major Strong returned for the rest of his family, with whom he arrived in 1815. He located on three hundred and thirty five acres of land, in tract number one, in the first section of Groton, where Samuel Nims now lives. He died in the year 1835. His wife died a few years after their settlement. Their son, Colonel Nathan Strong, married Harriet Under- hill, daughter of Major David Underhill, of Ridge- field, and settled in the northeast corner of the first section of Groton, where, with his brother, Leicester, he carried on a large farm. He finally removed to Illinois, where he afterwards died. His widow, now over eighty years of age, lives with her brother, Isaac Underhill, near Norwalk. Leicester Strong died un- married. One son of Major Strong, L. E. Strong, was formerly a resident of Plymouth, Ohio, and two others and a daughter lived in the west. Joseph, Jr., died in the early years of the family's settlement.
Charles Rash came in soon after Major Strong, and lived with the family for a while, and then made his home with John Baker and family for two years, and subsequently with others. He first purchased land on lot number sixteen in the third section of Lyme, where Titus F. Beebe lived at a later date, and a part of the land is still owned by the family. He after- wards exchanged this farm with Major Strong for one hundred acres on the ridge. In 1820, his brother, Livy, came out, and the next year the brothers erected a house on the place, into which Hiram Baker and his mother moved, and kept house for them for some time.
In the winter of 1814, Captain Zadoc Strong moved in, and fixed his residence on lot number two, west of his brother, Major Strong. Stephen Russell, a son of Captain Strong's wife, came at the same time, and settled just west of the present burying ground on the ridge. Captain Strong died without issue, his wife surviving him a number of years. Mr.
