Many of the foregoing facts are derived from a letter written by Hon John Hunt to Col. James Sweny, dated at Red Lion, August 20, 1874. In 1824. Mr. Hunt made a journey to New Orleans with a flat-boat, in company with two other flat-boats. Mr. Hunt, J. D. Blackburn, Esq., and some others. stopped at the mouth of the Arkansas and made a visit to see the last of the Pilgrims. They found the Promised Land a most forbidden place, situated on a narrow ridge of dry land. almost surrounded by a swamp. In a wretched tent, made with forks and poles, reed cane and bark, were two interesting la- dies, the only persons left of the band of Pilgrims. Neat and clean in their persons and dress and intelligent in their conversation, they still adhered to their belief in Buller's religion. Mr. Hunt offered to see that their way was paid to Cincinnati by steamboat if they desired to return to their native New England. They thanked him very kindly for his offer, but said they had started out for the Promised Land, they had found it, and nothing on earth would induce them to leave it. On a subsequent trip down the Mississippi. Mr. Hunt learned that one of these ladies had died, and the fate of the other was unknown.
VISIT OF GOV. DE WITT CLINTON. ·
The subject of most interest to the people of Ohio in 1825 was the inau- guration of work upon the two great canals which were to unite the waters of. the Ohio and the lakes. Gov. De Witt Clinton, of New York, the projector of the Erie Canal, and a statesman of national reputation, was invited to assist the Governor of Ohio in the ceremonies of inaugurating work upon the two canals. Gov. Clinton was received with enthusiasm by the people of Ohio. Ground was broken for the Ohio Canal at the Licking Summit, July 4, 1825, by Gov. Clinton and Gov. Morrow, in the presence of great crowds. A newspaper re- port says that "the two Governors each took a spade and removed the first sod upon a work which will be admired when the pyramids of Egypt shall be effaced; at this interesting moment, the simultaneous voices of thousands rent the skies." The ceremony of beginning work upon the Miami Canal, which took place two weeks later, near Middletown, was an event of great interest to the people of Warren County. Already had the Warren County Canal been pro- jected. The visit of Gov. Clinton to Lebanon was an interesting event. At the banquet, given in his honor at Lebanon, several men, distinguished in the history of the nation, were present, and a large number of men prominent in the history of the county participated in the ceremonies.
Some days before the celebration at Middletown, a committee of the citi- zens of Warren County was appointed at a public meeting held at the court house to make arrangements for the reception of Gov. Clinton, and to provide

a public dinner for the occasion. The committee consisted of John Bigger, George Kesling, Matthias Corwin, Michael H. Johnson, William Lowry, Phineas Ross and George J. Smith. This committee visited Middletown on the day of the canal inauguration. George J. Smith, in behalf of the citizens of Warren County, addressed Gov. Clinton and invited him to attend a public dinner the next day at Lebanon, to which the distinguished gentleman replied in a very handsome and dignified manner, accepting the invitation.
On the afternoon of the same day (Thursday), July 21, 1825, Gov. Clinton: Jeremiah Morrow, Governor of Ohio; Gen. William Henry Harrison, United States Senator; ex-Gov. Ethan Allen Brown, and Gen. N. Beasly, one of the State Canal Commissioners, started on their journey from Middletown to Leb- anon. Henry Clay, then Secretary of State in the cabinet of President John Q. Adams, was already in Lebanon, where he had arrived on his journey to Washington, and was detained by the sickness of his daughter. As the dis- tinguished guests approached the town, a signal gun on the hill west was fired. The visitors were welcomed to the town by a salute from Capt. Mix's artillery, and the cheers of a large body of delighted citizens. The next day, at 12 o'clock, a procession of citizens was formed on Main street under the command of Maj. George Kesling, and marched to the Presbyterian Church, where an address to Gov. Clinton was delivered by A. H. Dunlevy. To this address, the Governor made a short but beautiful and elegant reply. The procession then moved back to Main street and was dismissed. The distinguished visitors, including Henry Clay and his son-in-law, Mr. Irwin, with a large number of citzens of Warren County, sat down to dinner, which had been provided by William Ferguson. After the repast, twenty toasts were drunk. The first toast was "The President of the United States; " the second, "The Vice Presi- dent; " the third, "The Memory of Washington;" the fourth, "The Govern- ment of the United States; " the fifth was as follows:
Our distinguished guest, His Excellency De Witt Clinton-While the fame of other men lives only in the perishable pages of history, his is deeply engraven in the soil of his native State.
This sentiment was received with loud and reiterated applause. Gov. Clinton rose, and, in a felicitous manner, expressed his acknowledgements for the kind attentions paid him by the citizens of Warren County. It is said, by A. H. Dunlevy, that Gov. Clinton never made extemporaneous addresses, and that both his remarks at the church and at the dinner on this occasion, were written out and read from the manuscripts. Before he sat down, he prososed the following:
GOV. CLINTON'S TOAST.
The County of Warren and its worthy citizens-The dispensations of Providence have been so liberal that nothing but their own exertions are necessary to conduct them to a distinguished elevation of prosperity.
The following sentiment was read:
Gov. Morrow-An able civilian-whether in the Gubernatorial chair or the legislative hall, he reflects credit upon his State.
This was received with loud cheers, and Gov. Morrow rose and addressed the company in appropriate remarks. Before sitting down, he gave as his toast, "The Ohio and Miami Canals."
GEORGE J. SMITH'S TOAST:
The Hon. Henry Clay, Secretary of State-An enlightened and independent statesman and incorruptible patriot; his past life has been identified with the interest and happiness of his country-a sure guarantee that his future days will be devoted to her glory.
Mr. Clay then rose and addressed the audience for a short time in an elo- quent manner and gave the following:

HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.
HENRY CLAY'S TOAST:
Gen. Bolivar-He has exhibited more than Roman patriotism in his desire of volun- tary exile to perpetuate that liberty which he has established.
Ex-Gov. Brown, having been toasted by C. D. Morris as "The Projector of the Ohio Canal," addressed the meeting. Gen. Beasly, having been toasted by J. D. Miller, Esq., also made some remarks.
A. H. DUNLEVY'S TOAST:
Our guest, Gen. William Henry Harrison-During the late war defended our Northern and Western frontiers from the ravages of a savage foe; but his services can be properly appreciated only by those who witnessed the obstacles he surmounted.
Gen. Harrison then addressed the company in an eloquent manner and proposed the following:
GEN. WILLIAM H. HARRISON'S TOAST: Gen. Anthony Wayne-The man without fear and without reproach.
THOMAS R. ROSS' TOAST:
Gen. Andrew Jackson-The distinguished citizen and soldier; may the freemen of the United States never forget his past eminent services, the surest pledge of his future use- fulness.
The next day, Gov. Clinton, accompanied by Gov. Brown and Judge Kes- ling, left Lebanon for Hillsboro, where arrangements had been made for another public reception.
Henry Clay, who had carried the State of Ohio at the Presidential election the preceding year, arrived at the residence of Judge Lowe, on the 14th of July, 1825, on his journey to Washington City. The next day, he came to Lebanon and stopped at Ferguson's Hotel, and called a physician to see his sick daughter, aged twelve years. Although Mr. Clay declined to attend any meeting designed to honor him, he found the next day, on his return from a visit to Union Village, that about forty persons had assembled to dine with him at the hotel, all anxious to offer some testimony of their high regard for the distinguished statesman. After the dinner, Mr. Clay was called on to ad- dress the company, which he did briefly, but in a manner that displayed some of the powers of his matchless oratory. He was detained at Lebanon for several weeks by the illness of his daughter, who died on the 11th of August. Mr. Clay was accompanied by his wife and other members of his family.
VISIT OF THE DUKE OF SAXE-WEIMAR.
The Duke of Saxe- Weimar, with his party, passed through Warren County in 1826. Having arrived at Cincinnati by steamboat, and, desiring to visit the interior of the State, he procured a carriage and four horses in Cincinnati, for which he paid $6 per day. On the 3d day of May, 1826, he started up the State road leading from Cincinnati to Chillicothe, and traveled the first day over a muddy road about twenty miles, to the residence of Gov. Morrow, then Chief Magistrate of the State, to whom he had a letter of introduction from Gov. Johnson, of New Orleans. In his book of travels, the Duke says:
"The dwelling of the Governor consists of a plain frame house, situated on a little elevation not far from the shore of the Little Miami, and is entirely surrounded by fields. The business of the State calls him once a month to Columbus, the seat of government, and the remainder of his time he passes at his country seat, occupied with farming, a faithful copy of an ancient Cincin- natus; he was engaged at our arrival in cutting a wagon pole, but he imme- diately stopped his work to give us a hearty welcome. He appeared to be about fifty years of age; is not tall, but thin and strong, and has an expressive physiognomy, with dark and animated eyes. He is a native of Pennsylvania

and was one of the first; settlers in the State of Ohio. He offered us a night's lodging at his house, which invitation we accepted very thankfully. When seated round the chimney fire in the evening, he related to us a great many of the dangers and difficulties the first settlers had to contend with. * We spent our evening with the Governor and his lady. Their children are settled, and they have with them only a couple of grandchildren. When we took our seats at supper, the Governor made a prayer. There was a Bible and several religious books lying on the table. After breakfasting with our hos- pitable host, we took our leave."
In the records of the Shakers at Union Village, mention is made of a visit from the Duke under the date May 4, 1826.
BUTLER AND WARREN COUNTY PIONEER ASSOCIATION.
There is in existence no historic or pioneer society in Warren County. The following historic sketch of a large pioneer association, in which Warren County is interested, is furnished by the Secretary of the association, Dr. Ed- ward Kimball:
"The origin of the Butler and Warren County Pioneer Association was as follows: Dr. Samuel S. Stewart was born in 1807, and was reared to manhood and resided the greater part of his life within one mile of Monroe. But, hav- ing removed to Indiana, in the spring of 1871, he wrote to Mr. Israel B. Carr, one of his earliest intimates, who still resided at Monroe, requesting him to call a meeting of all those yet remaining in the neighborhood of their old asso- ciates at the home of some one of them some day that spring, and let him know the day and he would attend. Mr. Carr, after consulting with several, then concluded to hold such a meeting, but to hold it in a grove adjoining Monroe. Ten days' public notice of that meeting was given by posters of the size of six by eight inches. That meeting was held on the 19th day of May, 1871; was a complete and gratifying success, near 2,000 being present. Dr. Otho Evans was made President, and Joseph W. O'Neal, Secretary; Maj. J. M. Millikin was the orator. Then and there it was determined to hold their meetings each year thereafter, and they have been held, with an annual attendance ranging from 4,000 to 9,000; and these re-unions have been publicly acknowledged the most orderly and well-conducted meetings held in the country-the largest pioneer association, if not larger than all others combined, in the State. It was, by unanimous vote, named the 'Butler and Warren County Pioneer Asso- ciation, of Monroe, Ohio.' It is supported by voluntary contributions at each annual meeting. Its constitution requires no initiation fees or dues; any per- son of good moral habits, who resided within either of these counties, in or previous to 1820, by signing the constitution, can become a member, and his or her descendants, upon signing the constitution, are members. No alcoholic liquors, wine, ale, beer or cider are allowed on the grounds. The object of the association is to gather and preserve history, reminiscences, statistics, relics or other information connected with the early settlers and settlement of our counties and State; also to encourage pioneer simplicity of life; to encourage habits of integrity, sobriety, industry, economy-goodness of heart, friendly intercourse in the walk, conversation and character of members and persons in younger life."
TOWNS LAID OUT.
The dates at which the towns of the county were laid out are given below. Except in the case of Deerfield, the dates were all obtained from official records It will be borne in mind that these dates refer not to the first settlement of the locality, nor to the springing-up of a village, but to the regular survey and platting of the town-site. In some cases, villages had grown up long before

there was any regular division of the site into lots, streets and alleys. In other cases, the proposed town has never been built, and its site to-day is a field or a road crossing:
Deerfield, 1796; Franklin, 1796; Waynesville, 1796; Lebanon, 1802; Ridgeville, 1814; Palmyra (Mason), 1815; Gainesboro, 1815; Springboro, 1815 ; Freeport (Oregon), 1816 ; Morristown (Green Tree), 1816 ; Salem (Roachester), 1816 ; Westfield (Red Lion), 1817; Fredericksburg, 1818; Crosswicks, 1821; Edwardsville, 1824 ; Harveysburg, 1829; Mount Holly, 1833; Middleboro, 1838; Butlerville, 1838; Black Hawk, 1838; Osceola, 1838; Morrow, 1844; Corwin, 1845; Hammell, 1845; Fort Ancient, 1849; Maine- ville, 1850; New Columbia, 1852; New Columbia (Pleasant Plain), 1852: Raysville, 1855: Cozaddale, 1871.
EATON TOWNSHIP.
This township is the only one in the county which has become extinct. It was established June 28, 1806, and was chiefly in the northern part of that portion of the county afterward attached to Clinton. The following were the boundaries: Beginning at the northeast corner of the county, thence west with the north boundary to Caesar's Creek, thence down said creek, with the mean- ders thereof, so far that a line running from said creek south 37 degrees east will strike the northeast corner of survey No. 1,507, and to continue on the same course so far that a due east and west line will strike the dividing line between Warren and Highland Counties ten miles south of the northeast cor- ner of Warren County, thence north with said line to the beginning.
