'I set- tled on the place where Samuel P. Cole resided. I resided on the Cole farm about twelve years. There were no persons living near me, and the country was all a wilderness at the time. Aden Antram settled on the land where Daniel Adams now lives, as I understand. Shortly after I settled on the land, William Antram settled there.

There was one neighbor in about one mile on the Urbana road south, and one about three miles southwest. The balance of the country all around for miles was a wilderness. Aden Antram was the first that settled near us, and William next, and Robert next. Robert Antram's wife was at our house June 13, 1816. . I think that Robert Antram settled there the fall before.'
