Swift, to build a jail on the plan proposed, were accepted. The timber was to be 12 inches square ; the whole to be planked around on the outside with plank two inches thick, the build- ing to be complete except the locks. It was to be owned jointly by the County and the City of Toledo, the latter paying one-half the cost. C. G. Shaw was appointed to superin- tend the work. This building (the walls wholly of logs) was built between Summit and Superior Streets, below and near to Cherry Street. It was used as a Jail, until the re- moval of the County-seat to Manmee, in 1840. In 1855 it was purchased by Scott & Co. (S. B. Scott and Richard Mott) for the sum of $2.50, taken down and reconstructed for use as an office, on Water street, in connection with their Forwarding and Commission business. At the same time, they gave it a new roof, stuccoed its walls, and otherwise improved it. In 1860, HI. B. Hall & Co., upon removing their Saw- Mill to that locality, from the East side of the River, adopted the old Jail for an office ; and since that time, by David Smith and William II. H. Smith & Co., it has been in like use.

The building which constituted the first resi- dence of the Sheriff of Lucas County (Manson II. Daniels), yet stands on the North side of Ostrich Lane (located between St. Clair and Superior Streets), the building being about midway between Cherry and Orange Streets. It is a low, one-story frame structure, about 12×24 feet in size ; and stands about as it did 50 years ago, with much of the window.glass and other parts originally furnished.

The Grand Jury for the July term of Lucas Common Pleas, 1852, consisted of Freeborn Potter, Louis Lambert, E. Williams, Hiram Hubbard, John P. Lewis, John Vanfleet, Samuel Wagner, Stephen Porter, Geo. Emyel, Chaun- cey Merrills, Ezra Holt, Wm. Pierce, J. Wynn, J. G. Klinck, A. Spaulding. This Jury made a report on the County Jail (then at Maumee), which they found in good condition, with ex- ceptions named. During the previous year much pains had been taken for putting the prison in condition " to secure it from the at- tacks of exasperated and determinated pris- oners, who, in their efforts to escape, had un- hinged the lower cell-doors and were using them as battering-rams to effect an egress," when discovered and stopped, which doors had not been replaced. Among the prisoners then in Jail was a boy about 10 years of age, and several others of like age had previously been confined there. Such association of chil- dren among hardened criminals, was properly protested against by the Jury, who recom- mended the provision of a House of Refuge for offending minors. Several aged men were found in Jail, on the charge of abusing their wives while drunk. " It is our opinion," state the Jury, " that the present laws do not meet sufficiently the exigency in relation to the

liquor traffic-that liquor is the cause of at least two-thirds of the crimes committed in the country." In the Jail, also, was a woman, confined for threatening to kill her husband and children while in a drunken melee. The Jury recommended quarters for females sepa- rate from male inmates.

On the return of the seat of justice to Toledo in 1852, a brick Jait was built in con- nection with the Court-House on Adams Street, which continned in use, with more or less of changes and improvements, until the construc- tion of the present Jail and Sheriff's residence, in 1864.

CHAPTER VI.

TOLEDO'S START AND PROGRESS.

TINDER the treaty of Greenville, concluded August 3, 1795, 16 reservations of lands were made to the United States from the vast domain up to that time held by the Indians, and then confirmed to them. Of these reserva- tions, was one of 12 miles square "at the British Fort on the Miami of the Lake at the Foot of the Rapids." The tract ineluded the mouth of Swan Creek, and a portion of the present site of Toledo. Under an act of Con- gress, these lands were surveyed and sold at public auction in February, 1817, the sale taking place at Wooster, Ohio. Two compa- nies of capitalists were organized for the pur- pose of buying lands at that sale. One of them -known as the " Baum Company "-was com- posed of Martin Baum, Jesse Hunt, Jacob Burnet, Wm. C. Schenck, Wm. Barr, Wm. Oliver and Andrew Mack; and the other, the " Piatt Company," consisted of John H. Piatt, Robert Piatt, Wm. M. Worthington and Gor- ham A. North. Both of these associations were represented at the Wooster sale-the former by Win. Oliver and Wm. C. Schenck, and the latter by Robert Piatt. It was there found that both Companies were seeking to purchase the lands about the mouth of Swan Creek. In order to avoid competition in bid- ding, the two interests agreed to purchase in common tracts 1, 2, 3 and 4, in the United States Reserve at the foot of the Rapids of the Miami; and also Nos. 86 and 87, on the oppo- site side of the River, opposite the mouth of Swan Creek ; each Company to have one-half interest in the same, paying equally therefor. Nos. 86 and 87 were bid off by Oliver, and the certificate was issued in his name; the other tracts going to Piatt and his associates. The purchase amounted to 974 acres-200 at $75.50 per acre; 201 at 820.75; 154 at 85.25; 181 at $2.75; 143 at 82.35; and 93, at 82.13; the average being $48.12₺ per acre. By the terms of the sale, a credit of 40 days was given on the , first payment of 25 per cent .; the balance being payable in three equal annnal amounts. Piatt also, for his Company, purchased the North- west and Southwest Sections of Township 3; and the Northwest, Southwest and Southeast quarters of Section 3, same Township. Return- ing to Cincinnati, the Companies were united under the name of the Port Lawrence Com- pany, which at once took steps for laying out a Town, to be called Port Lawrence, and ap-

pointed Baum as agent for that purpose, for the sale of lots, and for the general management of the property. August 14, 1817, Baum appointed Oliver as his Attorney, to attend to the sale of lots, who, with Schenck, was authorized to lay ont the Town. In Baum's letter of instruction to Oliver (August 14, 1817), he said, among other things :

In running the Streets and the division of lots, it is not the wish of the proprietors that interest or convenience should be sacrificed to form ; that the growth of the place should be retarded by a useless adherence to any particular figure, or to any fanciful uniformity of squares.

The number of lots was to be from 300 to 500; and with the exception of water lots and fractionals, about 60x120 feet in size. " The principal or central Street should be at least 160 feet wide; others from 80 to 100; and Alleys 12 to 15 feet. Let there be three lots, each 120 feet square, set off for public nses, Churches, Schools, &c; and one, 240 feet square, for Court-House and Jail. There should be one or two suitable lots out of the Town for burying grounds."

The plat laid ont, a public sale of the lots was to be provided for, " which, if practicable, should correspond with the time of hokling the treaty with the Indians," to be held at Fort Meigs, the month following. The agents pro- ceeded to lay out the Town, when a sale was advertised, to take place September 20, 1817, on these terms :

One-fourth down ; the balance in three equal an- nual installments, with interest from date of pur- chase, if not promptly paid; and if the whole amount of purchase money be not paid when the last installment becomes due, the lots purchased to revert to the proprietors of Port Lawrence. The undersigned reserve the right to one bid on each lot offered. Signed, W. C. Schenck, Will. Oliver, Agents, and dated Miami Rapids, September 20, 1817.

At that sale 79 lots were sold, of which two (Nos. 223 and 224) were purchased by Oliver, on which, in connection with Baum, he subse- quently erected a warehouse and made other improvements. The house was of logs, and was located near the mouth and on the North side of Swan Creek. The cash proceeds of the sales then made amounted to $855.33. Among the purchasers were Samuel H. Ewing, Aurora

TOLEDO'S START AND PROGRESS.

Spafford, Seneca Allen, John E. Hunt, Robert A. Forsyth, Almon Reed and Truman Reed, of " Maumee Rapids ; " B. F. Stickney, of Fort Wayne, Ind .; Henry 1. Hunt and Mary L. Hunt, of Detroit; Moses Wilson, of Huron County, Ohio; and Austin E. Wing, of Monroe, Mich.

In a letter written in 1870 to David E. Merrill, Toledo, Benjamin Rathbun, then proprietor of the Broadway Hotel, New York, but formerly the most prominent business man of Buffalo, made reference to his knowledge of Toledo real estate. HIe said :

I was once where Toledo now is. It was in the Spring of 1817. while a portion of it was being sur- veyed for Village lots. I then took up the first lot over sold in Toledo as a Village lot. The title of the Company failing for non-payment of their purchase, of course, I lost my lot. I have never been at Toledo since I left in August, 1818. At that time there was not a dwelling house there. A man by the name of Henderson built a log and stone house on the bank and partly over the water, just below the mouth of what was then known as Swan Creek; and there was a French cabin on the " flats," near Swan Creek, for the Indians to get rum in. These were all the buildings Toledo could boast of in 1818. My own family (consisting of Mrs. Rathbun and one son), and Major Keeler's family, occupied Henderson's log and stone warehouse while we were there.

From this it would appear that Mr. Rath- bun made Port Lawrence his home from the Spring of 1817, until August, 1818. Most of the purchasers of lots afterwards compromised their claims against the proprietors. Mr Wing, as elsewhere shown, took a lot in the second Port Lawrence (1833).

When the second payment became due to the Government in 1818, the Port Lawrence Com- pany defaulted, and thus practically surren- dered the entire property, with improvements made. In 1821, the Government meantime having reduced the price of its lands from $2.00 on time payments, to $1.25 cash down, the Port Lawrence Company, unable or indis- posed to pay a balance of some $20,000 for tracts 1 and 2, asked Congress to take the same back, and apply the payments already made to the full payment of the other tracts pur- chased by them and the Baum and Piatt Com- panies, respectively. With this view, the several interests in all the lands then purchased were assigned to Baum, who appointed Wil- liams as his agent. September 27, 1821, author- ity therefor having been granted by Congress, Williams relinquished tracts 1 and 2, on which $4,817.55 had been paid. Of this sum $1,372.34 was applied as full payment for tracts 3, 4, 86 and 87, leaving 83,445.21. Of this, one-half belonged to the Piatt Company, and $1,248 having been applied to relieve its five quarter- sections, the Piatt Company still had a balance of $474.60 as its due, but which was applied to the payment of lands of the Baum Company. In August, 1823, Oliver made out a claim against the Port Lawrence Company, amount-

ing to $1,835.47, for money paid to former pur- chasers (8213.02), and services as Agent, which Baum approved, and as security, gave Oliver a mortgage on tracts 3, 4, 86 and 87, payable January 1, 1824. In October, 1825, Oliver proceeded in a Michigan Court to sell the property under this mortgage, and the same was sold, by order of Court, September 1, 1825, to Oliver, for $618,56. Meantime, three of the five quarter-sections belonging to the Piatt Company had been sold by order of Court, at Oliver's instance, Charles Noble being the pur- chaser, at $241.60, who soon thereafter con- veyed the property to Oliver. Thus Oliver came into possession of tracts 3, 4, 86 and 87, and three quarter-sections of the lands. In Derem- ber, 1828, Baum, without consultation with his associates, transferred to Oliver the Govern- ment certificates of tracts 3, 4, 86 and 87. May 20, 1826, Congress authorized the selection of a certain amount of lands for the benefit of the University of Michigan, when Sections 1 and 2, relinquished by the Port Lawrence Company, were selected. Whereupon, Oliver, acting as the Agent of that Company, proposed that said tracts be exchanged by the University for a portion of the lands to which he had obtained title through Baum and the Michigan Court. Such arrangement having been made, Congress authorized the exchange, when Oliver took the title to tracts 1 and 2 in his own name. This done, Baum and Williams each obtained one. third interest in tracts 1, 2, 86 and 87; and upon Baum's death (1832), Oliver purchased his interest of the heirs; and subsequently sold portions of other tracts to Prentice and Tromley. Afterwards, Oliver purchased of the University the tracts conveyed in exchange for 1 and 2.

PORT LAWRENCE RESURRECTED.

These arrangements consummated, steps were taken toward the resurrection of the Town of Port Lawrence. A new plat was pre- pared, of which record was made in Monroe County, Michigan, as follows :

THE TERRITORY OF MICHIGAN, USA. COUNTY OF MONROE.

Before me, the subscriber, an acting Justice of the Peace in and for the County of Monroe, aforesaid, personally appeared Stephen B. Comstock, author- ized agent of Wm. Oliver, of Cincinnati, Ohio, who in behalf of the.said Oliver, acknowledged the within to be a correct plat and description of all lots num- bered in numerical order, which are intended for sale in the Town plat of Port Lawrence, in the County of Monroe, aforesaid, and of the public grounds in- tended to be given for the uses and purposes therein expressed, in said Town, in conformity to the act entitled, "An act to provide for the recording of Town plats and for other purposes," approved April 12. 1827.

In testimony whereof, i have herennto set my band and seal, at Port Lawrence, on the 20th day of December, A. D. 1832.

As seen, the initial of Toledo was made about the mouth of Swan Creek, and in extent cov- ered the territory, East and West, from Jeffer- son to Washington Street; and North and South, from what is now Superior Street to the River-Erie then occupying the place of what is Summit, Ontario that of St. Clair, and Huron that of Superior; Water Street having been subsequently made by filling along the River.

The first sale was made July 13, 1833, being lot No. 11 (Gower's map), 40 feet, North side Summit street, near Monroe, and next to cor- ner. The price was 825, and the purehaser John Baldwin, afterwards a leading merchant and one of the first Associate Judges of the County. The sale was for cash down, and was among very few sales made on such terms. In several instances, sales were conditioned that improve- ments, by the erection of buildings, should be made by the purchasers. Thus, one was to erect "a good building, 18x24 feet, to be painted ;" another " a good two-story house ;" and another "two good houses, and paint white." S. B. Comstock acted as Agent of the proprietors from July, 1833, to July, 1834; and Andrew Palmer from July, 1834, to July, 1836, when the property was divided among the several owners. The following list of the first sales, with dates, prices and names of pur- chasers, will show who first indicated their con- fidence in the then future of that portion of Toledo :

For about two years the Port Lawrence property was managed as a whole for the pro- prietors, by an agent, S. B. Comstock and An- drew Palmer, successively, acting in that ca- pacity. All sales prior to July 1, 1835, were made in that way. At that time the proprie- tors became satisfied that it would be better for them and for the Town if the property should be divided among them, that each might have his distinct interest to look after. To this end, a meeting of the owners was held at " the Village of Toledo," July 1-4, 1835, at which were present-Wm. Oliver, for himself and for Micajah T. Williams, Philander Ray- mond and Chas. W. Lynde; Isaac S. Smith for himself and for John B. Maey, Hiram Pratt and Wm. F. Porter Taylor; and Edward Bis- sell, Andrew Palmer and Stephen B. Comstock for themselves, respectively. It was voted that Wm. Oliver, who then held the legal title to the land, be authorized, as soon as the Village of Toledo should be incorporated, to convey to the same Village lots 319 and 198, for Public School purposes. Lots 366 and 175 were set apart for the two Religious Societies, which should first complete houses of worship there- on. Land to the amount of 5 acres was voted for Cemetery purposes, not to be nearer than three-fourths of a mile to the mouth of Swan Creek. Lot 335 was voted to Mrs. Harriet Daniels, wife of Munson H. Daniels, " as a complimentary present, on the occasion of hers being the first marriage at Toledo." Lot 215 was voted as a present to Mrs. Vance. Lots 163, 162, 119, 120, 121, 109, 110, and 111 were set apart for a Hotel, to be built by the joint proportionate contribution of the proprietors ; the grading for the Hotel to be done by the proprietors of the same, who were to have a deed of the lots when they had expended $10,- 000, and to own the dock in front of the lots deeded. These lots are on the East side of Adams street, including the site of the Ketch- am and Nearing Block (189-199 Summit), and extending same width to the River, Water street having since been made. The property was never used for the purpose named.

Lots equivalent to 2-16ths of the whole were assigned to S. B. Comstock, when the entire remaining property was divided into 16 parts of about equal value, and 16 tickets, corres- ponding to such numbers were placed in a hat, and Two Stickney, the second son of B. F. Stickney, took them out, one at a time, and

delivered them to the parties in the following order : To Win. Oliver, the first five tickets, he owning 5-16ths of the plat ; M. T. Williams, four tickets; 1. S. Smith, J. B. Macy, Hiram Pratt and W. F. P. Taylor, each one ticket : then Edward Bissell, Andrew Palmer, and the firm of Raymond & Lynde, each one ticket. The total appraised value of the allotments was then 842,265.50, averaging about $2,880 for each share. The division thus made, the first action then taken toward the improvement of their common property, consisted of a vote, " that if Wm. Oliver and Andrew Palmer will put into meadow, in a farming-like manner, the present season, abont 40 acres of the Company's land, now cleared near Darlington's Saw-mill [on Swan Creek near Huron street], they shall have possession and use of the same for farm- ing purposes until March, 1840." Edward Bis- sell and Andrew Palmer were appointed a com- mittee to prepare a plan for a Hotel, and An- drew Palmer was constituted the agent of the proprietors. At this same session (July ith), it was resolved, " that, to promote the general prosperity of the Town, it is deemed expedi- ent to subscribe to the stock of the Erie and Kalamazoo Railroad Company ; and it is here- by agreed, that every proprietor shall take and pay for $1,000 of said stock for each 16th of the interest which he holds in the original plat of Port Lawrence, and that the stock so taken shall be received at par from S. B. Comstock, being part of the stock which he has already subscribed."

During the years 1833-36 many changes had taken place in the ownership of the Port Law- rence property, old proprietors going out and others coming in, until none of the original parties wereleft. Early in the latter year it was deemed best to close out the affairs of the Company by a division of its property then held in common. For this purpose a meeting was held May 17, 1836 - present, Edward Bis- sell and Isaac S. Smith, representing 30-64th of the property ; James Myers and W. P. Daniels, each representing 2-64ths; S. B. Comstock, 6-64ths; Daniel Greenvault, 1-64ths ; Joshua R. Giddings and Richard Mott, 3-64ths ; and Ash- bel Dart, 1-64th. El. Bissell and I. S. Smith, Committee, reported a plan for a Hotel on lots 119, 120 and 121, which was approved, and were authorized to proceed to the erection of the building (Northeast corner of Adamsand Sum- mit). They were also authorized to " grade the Eastern halfof Adams street, from the River to St. Clair street, in front of the Hotel lots, so that the surface of Summit street at the inter- section of Adams shall be 23 feet above the level of the River; and that they construct a pier in front of the East half of Adams and of the Hotel lots." W. P. Daniels, Richard Mott and S. B. Comstock were appointed a Committee to grade Summit street from the level of the Hay Scales in front of W. J. Dan-

iels & Co.'s store, so that at its intersection with Jefferson street it shall be 22 fect above the level of the River, the street "from the Hay Scales to Jefferson to be horizontal," for which purpose subscriptions were to be obtained from individuals, the Port Lawrence proprietors to make good any deficiency in the cost. The same Committee were authorized to "open and grade Monroe street at both ends. and to construct culverts or sewers in the same." It was understood, in fixing elevations, that " the Hay Scales were 10 feet above the River." The Hay Scales and Store referred to were located on the North side of Summit street, between Perry and Monroe, adjoining the In- diana House, which cornered with Perry. The contract for the grading was let to a man named Hlall, an Irishman, who, with his em- płoyes, constituted the vanguard of the large number of the same nationality afterwards so intimately identified with like improvements in Toledo.

A meeting of the proprietors of Port Law- rence was held September 8-16, 1837 ; present, William Oliver, M. T. Williams, S. B. Com- stock, Ashbel Dart, Richard Mott, Henry W. Hicks, I. S. Smith, W. F. P. Taylor, John Fitch, Ed. Bissell. Cemetery grounds were set apart on the North side of Wisconsin Street, com- mencing 410 feet West from 23d Street, along Wisconsin to the West line of Port Lawrence tract No. 1; thence North to the Northwest corner of said tract; thence East on said tract line to a point 410 feet West from the middle of 23d Street ; and thence South to the place of beginning. A Burying Ground was started on these premises and a few corpses interred there; but it was soon abandoned. Lots 484 and 4843 were given to the Erie and Kalamazoo Railroad Company, for " the purposes of a Car Hlouse, &c., &e., conditioned that the same be not used for any other than the legitimate busi- ness of said Company ; and that said Company shall have the necessary fixtures and a track from the main track to said lots, through Depot Street, completed within 18 months." On these lots were constructed the Machine Shops and Engine House used by the Railroad for several years and until the removal of the headquarters of the Michigan Southern & Northern Indiana Railroad to Adrian. At this meeting appraise- ment was made of lots as designated on the map prepared by Robert Gower, in 1837. Some of the values, as thus fixed, were as follows: Lot 465, corner of Madison and Huron, $600 ; lot 489, corner Cherry and Superior, $800; lot 713, Washington and 14th Street, $410 ; lot 744, Southeast corner Cherry and Erie, $180; lot 450, Madison and Erie, 8600 ; lots 114, 115, 116, Vine, between Water and Summit, 83,000 each.
