Under an act to organize and discipline the Ohio militia, passed April 14, 1863, those liable to military service in the township under a general order from the Adjutant General of the State, met on the 4th of July, 1863, at Sligo, and proceeded to elect officers of the company. J. M. Gorrelle was elected Captain, P. R. Osborn, First Lieutenant and Samuel Denny, Second Lieu- tenant. The company numbered 120 men. It is to be regretted that the muster-roll cannot be obtained, so that the names of all the members of the company could be given.
At the time of the Morgan raid in August, 1863, the company, with many others of the county, was ordered into the service of the State to aid in the capture of Morgan, or to drive him out of the State. In a few hours after the order was promulgated, through the daily papers as it was, it reached the 'township and the different members of the company were ordered to meet, at once to go to Camp Dennison, there to procure arms, and then to follow after Morgan. - Considerable time was consumed in getting the company together and in awaiting transportation, so that by the time it reached Camp Dennison, Morgan was on his way up the river hotly pursued by Hobson. After being in.camp a few days, the company was ordered to return home, Morgan being captured about this time .* The writer has made considerable effort to procure a roll of the officers and men of the company, but without success.
FAMILY HISTORY.
Before closing this historical sketch, it is well to give mention of some of the early settlers and their families, and of some of the more prominent per- sons of a later generation. With biographical sketches, the writer has nothing to do. In some instances, in order to show family connections, mention has been made of parties who are not now nor ever were residents of the town- ship.
The first resident of the township was Samuel Lee, who, in the year 1804, or prior thereto, built a cabin in the vicinity of Springfield Meeting-House, on what afterward became the land of Isaac Harvey. The following year, Archi- bald Edwards and Peter Dicks settled in the same vicinity. The same year (1805), Isaac Harvey came to Ohio with Peter Dicks, who was his brother-in- law; Jacob Hale and John Hadley accompanied them. Harvey afterward returned to North Carolina for the purpose of purchasing the Pollard tract of land, consisting of 2,000 acres, which he did in connection with his brother, Eli. Pollard resided at Richmond, Va. In the fall of 1806, he re- turned to Ohio, bringing with him his brothers, Eli, Joshua and Caleb and their families, who, with others who accompanied them, made about one hun- dred in all. The Harveys all settled in the vicinity of each other, on what was known as the Pollard land, and together formed what became known as the Harvey settlement, which was the nucleus of a large settlement afterward. Their brother, William, a few years afterward, followed them from North Car- olina, and settled on Todd's Fork, where Thomas Daugherty now lives.
These brothers had two sisters, Martha and Lydia. Isaac Harvey's wife's maiden name was Lydia Dicks. He lived near Springfield, and built a brick house on his farm in 1814, which is still standing, and is now occupied by Thomas Pyle. He had three sons and six daughters. His sons' names were

North Carolina with their mother, and, after a short residence in Highland County, settled in the same vicinity in the spring of 1807. He married Lydia Hale, daughter of Jacob Hale. He has been dead but a few years. They had the following-named children: Jacob, Elizabeth, Robocca, James and Warren. There were others who died in infancy. John had the following-named brothers: William, David, Enoch, Nathan, Jonathan, Nathaniel, Solomon, and three sisters-Nancy Mendenhall, Hannah Maden and Rebecca Hampton.
All of this family except Nathaniel settled in the vicinity of Springfield and Oakland, all living near each other. David and Solomon were the last to come, arriving in 1811. Their mother's name was Edith. She was a sister of Elizabeth Harvey, who came to Ohio in 1806, with her sons, Isaac, Caleb, Eli, Joshua and William. Both were widows. Elizabeth Harvey was born on the 16th of August, 1736, and died the 16th of February, 1832, in her ninety-sixth year.
Ezekiel Hornada was born in North Carolina, Randolph County, on the 26th of February, 1796. He came to Ohio in 1806, with the Harvey brothers and their families. Isaac Harvey was his uncle by marriage. His mother's name was Dicks./ Having been left an orphan at an early age, he was bound out to Isaac Harvey, in whose family he was raised. He married November 11, 1818. His wife was Elizabeth, eldest daughter of John Hadley. He was the father of twelve children, to wit: John, Jehu, Isaiah, Jane, Simon, Mary, William, Eleanor, Lydia, Eli, Isaac and Louisa. Of these, Jehu died at the age of fifteen; Jane, Simon, Eli and Isaac, before they had reached the age of two years; and Mary, at the age of thirty-five. His wife died in 1850, and was buried at Springfield. He assisted Isaac Harvey in building his house, a brick one, still standing, in 1814. He did the principal part of the hauling. He went to school to Warren Sabin, at the Harvey Schoolhouse, in 1809. He went to school afterward to Hiram Maden and Thomas Kersey, who taught at the schoolhouse on Nathaniel Carter's farm. Some years after his marriage, he bought the John Abernathy farm, on the Lebanon road, some two iniles west of Todd's Fork, and built the brick house now standing upon it in 1832. Some time after his first wife's death, he married again. For two years pre- ceding April, 1882, he lived in Sligo. He has recently removed to Indiana, at the age of eighty-six. He resided continuously in what is now Adams Township for seventy-six years, more than three-quarters of a century, a period of time never equaled as yet by any other citizen of the township, and only nearly approached by Asa Green and Armonia Hale. One cannot but reflect upon the many exciting incidents, perils and privations through which he has passed, many of which he relates with a simplicity and clearness that are very interesting. He has lived to see what was at that time an unbroken forest : gradually disappear before the advancing tide of emigration and civilization. The wild turkey and the deer, then so plentiful, have disappeared, and with them the wolf and bear. Where, but a few years before his coming, the wild Indian lurked and lingered, or swiftly glided on his war-path, the iron horse, with fiery breath and shrill neigh, for nearly thirty years has been coursing along on glittering rails of iron. Schoolhouses, churches and villages have sprung into existence with a rapidity which, to him, must appear like enchant- ment. He well remembers the storm of 1806 that prostrated the timber south- west of where Sligo now stands. He says that the wild turkeys were so plen- tiful for some years after he came to Ohio that they afforded an abundance of food through the fall and winter seasons for the settlers, and that to him it appeared as if the hand of Providence provided for them. He says that often he has seen wild turkeys in droves by the hundreds, and that in the fall and winter they became very fat. It is to be regretted that circumstances were

Reuben Green was born in Grayson County, N. C., on the 28th of July, . 1770. On January 5, 1797, he married Rhoda, daughter of David and Mary Ballard. He emigrated to Ohio in the fall of 1811, and first settled near Cen- tre Meeting-House. In 1813, he bought 175 acres of land of William Lytle, on Lytle's Creek, where he settled and lived the remainder of his life.

Both he.and his wife are still living at their farm, adjoining the village of Ogden, onco known as the Hola. day farm, and immediately west of the farm on which his father lived. They raised a family of eight children, their names being as follows: Jane, Reuben, Mary Ann, Cyrus, Gulielma, John C., Samuel G. and Nancy Emily. All the children are living except Gulielma and John. The following is a brief sketch of some of the earlier scenes and events of his life, obtained from him for in- sertion here:
