HISTORY OF WYANDOT COUNTY.
CHAPTER IX.
RICHLAND TOWNSHIP.
ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF THE TOWNSHIP-ORGANIZATION-BOUNDARIES, ETC. -EARLY SETTLERS-FIRST THINGS-OWNERS OF REAL. AND PERSONAL ES- TATE IN 1845-SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES-MISCELLANEOUS-OFFICIALS SINCE 1865-BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
T HIS township, as may be readily conjectured, derives its name, "Rich- land," from the general fecundity of its soil, a soil rich, not in the sense of abounding in material possessions, but in being bountifully pro- vided with those nutritive qualities that yield to the diligent and prudent tiller of the land a rich and generous return for his labors, and the name suggested was in this wise: On April 4, 1835, two pioneers, Conrad Wick- iser and Charles Smith, were out "logging" in the northwest quarter of Section 21, when the chain used in the work happened to break, and becom- ing entangled in a spice bush, tore it up by the roots, disclosing to their views a soil rich and promising. Thereupon the two men resolved that the newly created township should receive the name by which it has since been known. This occurred, as already stated, in 1835, nearly half a century ago, in which year the township was organized.
Richland is bounded on the north, for three miles from east to west, by Ridge Township, and for the remaining two miles by Hancock County; on the east by Salem Township; on the south for four miles from east to west by Jackson Township, for the remaining mile by Hardin County; on the west by Hancock County. Having already spoken of the alimental proper- ties of the soil, it can be safely further said of Richland that it ranks among the foremost townships of Wyandot County as an agricultural section, and as a field for stock-raising purposes it is not a whit behind. The township is studded with prosperous farms, well drained (for the drains or ditches here are most extensive, some of them spreading completely across the township), incumbered with but little timber, and inhabited by a wide- awake, thriving and contented people.
NATURAL FEATURES, ETC.
The streams in this township are not many, nor of any degree of magni- tude, and their rarity is not to be complained of as the soil is sufficiently saturated with moisture to be independent of any such outside sustentation. There are only two roads in Richland that run in a direction other than on the section or Congressional lines, or parallel with them. Of these two roads, one leaves the southern line of Section 15, about a quarter mile west of Whartonsburg, cuts off a corner of that section, and leads northwest through Sections 16 and 17, into Hancock County; the other, the Burling- ton & Mount Blanchard road, laid out in March, 1835, dashes through Sec- tion 32 from Hardin County into Hancock County. The highways leading from north to south are: One on Hancock Township line as far as Section 11, where it unites with the road first mentioned; one intersecting Sections
933
RICHLAND TOWNSHIP.
4, 9 and 16 as far as first mentioned road; another intersects Sections 3, 10 and 15, terminating at Whartonsburg; a fourth enters the township between Sections 1 and 2, leading to a mile north of Jackson Township; and a fifth runs along the entire dividing line of Richland and Salem Townships. Of those leading from east to west, there is one along the entire north line, the first regularly laid out road in the township (1835); a second, a mile further south, runs the entire width of the township; a third, another mile south- ward, to within a mile and a half of Hancock County; a fourth, another mile further south, reaches into Hancock County; another mile, and a road is found traversing to a point half a mile east of Hancock County; the sixth and seventh roads, exactly a mile apart (and the sixth a mile from the fifth) lead through through the entire township. In addition to these are several short, what might be termed " accommodation " roads.
The Cincinnati, Sandusky & Cleveland runs completely through the township in a direction almost due northeast to southwest. Entering from Ridge Township, it passes through Sections 1, 11, 14, 15, 22, 28 and 32, when it enters Hardin County. There is a station at Whartonsburg, about the center of the township, and the next nearest on that railway at Forest, Hardin County, and Carey, in Crawford Township, this county.
EARLY SETTLERS. "I hear the tread of pioneers, Of nations yet to be, The first low wash of waves, where soon Shall roll a human sea." - Whittier.
The following brief mention is made of a few of the early settlers who located in the township immediately prior to or within nine or ten years after its organization.
Dr. Samuel Pickett was born in Athens County, Ohio, September 10, 1820. In 1830, his parents, Samuel and Charity Pickett, natives of Mary- land and Virginia respectively, came to and settled in what is now Rich- land Township, then part of Hancock County. The Doctor was a leading citizen and a celebrated hunter and trapper. Nathan Benjamin came in 1832, and settled on Section 20.
In 1833, Philip Cole settled on Section 17, Joshua Cole on Section 2, and Charles Smith on Section 17.
William M. Benjamin was born in Washington County, Ohio, June 1, 1804, son of Nathan and Mary Benjamin. In 1834, he came to Wyandot County and settled in Richland Township, where he purchased 160 acres of land in Section 28. He married, in 1823, and had eight children. For thirty years he was a local minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was prominently connected with it.
Conrad Wickiser, a native of Germany, came to Ohio with his family in 1810, settling in Perry County; from there removed to Delaware County, and in 1834 to Richland Township, this county, where he entered 120 acres of land. He was married to Lydia Wicks, and had eleven children. His son, Albert Wickiser, who was born February 24, 1808, lives in this township, near the spot on which the father first settled.
About the same period came Charles Smith from Delaware, who built a cabin on Section 17. Beers Roberts came from same county and located on Section 17; then Ira Bristoll, on Section 17; John James, on Section 1; Silas Burson, on Section 1; James Cole, on Section 2; Abraham Cole on Section 8; Harvey Chilson, on Section 13; Simeon Buell, on Section 32.
