D URING the session of the Legislature of 1810-11, three Commissioners were appointed by that body to select a seat of justice for Madison County, and, on the 19th of August, 1811, the report of these Commission- ers was presented to the Court of Common Pleas then in session, which was as follows:


TO THIE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NEXT TO BE HOLDEN FOR THE COUNTY OF MADISON :


We, Peter Light, Allen Trimble and Lewis Newsom, having been appointed by the last Legislature of Ohio Commissioners for fixing the seat of justice in said county of Madison, having notified the inhabitants and attended agreeably thereto, we took the oath prescribed by law, and proceeded to view and examine said county, and have mutually selected and agreed on a tract or piece of land of 200 acres owned by John Murfin, including the cabin where he now lives, on the northeast side of Oak Run, on the road which passes E. Langham's, and is on the plat of the county two miles and eighty-six poles from the upper center A, and one mile two hundred and ninety-three poles from the lower B, which piece of land, or such part thereof as the court may think proper, is, in our judgment (from the law under which we act), the most eligible place for the seat of Madison County. The proposition of a donation of Murfin is inelosed to be used as the court may think proper.


Given under our hand this 9th day of April, 1811. PETER LIGIIT, ALLEN TRIMBLE. LEWIS NEWSOM.


The donation spoken of, dated April 6, 1811, reads as follows:


I, John Murfin, do offer my traet of land on Oak Run, adjoining Elias Langham's land, containing 200 acres, which I will cause to be laid out into a town at my own expense under the direction of the County's Director, the streets and alleys to be made commodious for the public good, a convenient public square shall be laid out, which, together with one-half the in and out lots shall be for the use of the county, and to all of which there shall be made a general warrantee deed. The above is humbly sub- mitted for the consideration of the gentlemen Commissioners. JOHN MURFIN.


The court at the same session appointed Patrick McLene, Director, and ordered him to prepare evidence of title of Mr. Murfin and make his report. This was subsequently accomplished, and the title proving sat- isfactory it was ordered by the court " that the director proceed to purchase one hundred or one hundred and twenty-five acres, as nigh a square as pos- sible of Mr. Murfin's land, on Oak Run, at a sum not exceeding $4 per acre, and the donation of the lot on which his cabin may be situated, and pay for the same out of the proceeds of sale, and on delivery of deed for purchased land, he proceed to lay out or off a town into lots, streets and alleys, the main streets to cross each other at right angles one hundred feet wide, and the other streets not exceeding seventy-five feet wide, and the alleys sixteen or eighteen feet wide; the lots to be in front not more than sixty-five feet and not more than one hundred and thirty-two feet back to an alley, and


534


HISTORY OF MADISON COUNTY.


that he lay out not inore than one hundred and twenty even lots, the residue of the ground to be laid off in outlots of two acres each, and that he reserve one lot for court house or public square at the intersection of main streets, two lots for churches and academy, one for jail and one for outlot for a burial-place; that he call streets and alleys by appropriate names, and that he get the plat so laid off recorded; after acknowledgment, that he sell the lots at public sale, atter the purchase and laying-off as aforesaid, on the third Monday and Tuesday of September next, or at a convenient time after in same month; that he give certificate of sale to purchaser and receive contracts for payment-one-third in three months, one-third in nine and residue in eighteen months; and the conditions of sale be that, if purchaser fail to pay first installment, to sell the lot so sold to another person at the direction of director, and that he lay off a town in neat form as convenient to the water as possible, adjourn the sale at discretion and sell after public sale, taking into consideration the average price, and that the lots on inter- section of main streets be sold for not less than $50 each; and further or- dered that said town or city, when so laid off, be called and known by the name of London, and that the director keep a book in which he will regu- larly record the conditions of sale, the lots sold and to whom, the moneys received, and make a separate and a distinct entry for every purchase and exhibit the same to the court at the next term and make report of lots sold by number, etc."


Prior to the above action relative to the county seat, as has appeared in the general history of the county, the Court of Common Pleas of Frank- lin County, in 1810, appointed Philip Lewis, Director, to lay out a seat of justice for Madison County. A town was laid out and platted which was designated by the name of Madison, the plat was acknowledged before Thomas Gwynne. a Justice of the Peace of Deer Creek Township, Novem- ber 13, 1810, and placed on record in the County Recorder's office. We have been unable to find anything of record designating. the site of the town of Madison, further than that in the index book referring to the plats of towns appears " Madison (Deer Creek T. S."). It is a tradition that London was built upon the site of Madison. We give below all matters pertaining to the town of Madison that we have been able to find on record in the court honse. December 4, 1810, John Pollock and George Jackson were allowed the sum of $14 each for their services for fixing on the place for the county seat of Madison County, by order of the Board of County Commissioners.


December 14, 1810, Robert Shannon, William Reed and Alexander Morrison, Associate Judges of Franklin County, were allowed $6, $6 and $2 respectively, for attending at the town of Franklinton. by the request of Philip Lewis, Esq., director of the town of Madison. for giving him direc- tions and fixing on the day of sale of the lots in said town. by order of the Board of County Commissioners. Also under the same date, " ordered that there be allowed to Elias N. Delashmutt, Sheriff of Franklin County, $2.50 for summoning court at the request of P. Lewis, Esq., director of the town of Madison."


"January 3, 1811, ordered that there be allowed to Philip Lewis the sum of $20 for part of his services in laying off the town of Madison, in the county of Madison."


January 8, 1811. the Board of Commissioners ordered $150 to be ap- propriated for the purpose of erecting a jail in the town of Madison, and that the same be advertised, the sale to be on the 14th of January next. On the latter date the Commissioners met, and after being informed that there

was a new committee appointed by the Legislature to explore the county aud affix the seat of justice, permanently, agreed to postpone the sale of the jail. " June 10, 1811, ordered that there be allowed to John Arbuckle, Esq., the sum of $4 for acting as a crier for two days in the sale of lots in the town of Madison, by the orders of the director."


Returning to London, we will state that 1033 acres of the Murfin tract was, on the 14th of September, 1811, in consideration of $415, deeded to the director of the town. However, the town had previously been laid out and platted on this ground, as the plat was acknowledged by Patrick Mc- Lene and certified to before Samuel Baskerville, one of the Associate Judges of Madison County, September 13. 1811. The plat comprised 128 inlots and twenty outlots, the former being four by eight poles in size. The lots were bounded on the north by Fifth street, on the south by Front street, on the west by Water street and on the east by Back street. The original number of streets was ten: Main and Main Cross (now High) streets were made six poles wide, and all others four and one-half poles. Two lots were reserved for county buildings, two for churches and academies, one outlot for a burying-ground and one for John Murfin.


The cabin of Mr. Murfin as early as 1809 stood on the south side of West High street, on the site of the present lumber yard of J. F. Morgan. He was a Virginian. His wife's name, as written in the deed for the land. was Janey, but very likely. if properly written, would be Jane. He removed from London at an early day to the State of Indiana, thence to Illinois, where he died. In the autobiography of David Watson, it is stated that three houses were built in London in the spring of 1811. He says: "One I helped to build. and Rev. Father Sutton. living here at the time, built one of them." It is not stated who built the third.


LONDON IN 1812.


The following article on the early history of London was written by Daniel Thompson, now deceased, in 1869:


" On the 18th of November, 1812, I saw a family of six members crowding their household goods into a cabin sixteen by eighteen, a little


northeast of where the Presbyterian Church now stands. As soon as things were a little quiet, I started out in the grove in search of London. I soon found a kind friend who showed me the stakes setting out the lots, and in- troduced me to Mr. Patrick McLene, the director of the town of London. Its inhabitants at that time all dwelt in ten or eleven cabins, with clapboard roof. knees and weight poles, and the floors made of split timber, all, I say. except Russell's tavern. which had a shingle roof, but otherwise rather barny, being neither chinked nor daubed. Robert Hume, Clerk of the Court, had two rooms in his cabin, one for his family and the other for his office. The office had a hole cut in the wall and greased paper pasted over it to admit the light, like a Virginia schoolhouse. I made him a nine-light sash out of a piece of box I brought from Virginia. This was the first and the only glass window in London at that time. יי Col. Philip Lewis and Joseph Russell kept hotels. Each had, per- haps, a dozen bottles. great and small, and, perhaps, as many tumblers, with plenty of sots and rowdies always on hand. The heads of families were Philip Lewis. James Russell, Robert Hume, Joseph Warner, John Martin, Cary. the tanner, William Wingate. John Thompson. David Dungan and Rev. William Sutton. The boarders at Col. Lewis' were Capt. John Moore. who was recruiting for the army, Col. Langham, Robert Smith, James Bal-

lard and Patrick McLene, Esqs. The County Commissioners were Jona- than Minshall, Burton Blizzard and William Gibson. A temporary court house and jail were the public buildings. I cut hay in sight of town to winter seven horses and cows. The timber that was then standing on the town plat was beautiful. tall and straight. I cut a red oak on Lot No. 6, where John Dungan's store now stands, of which I made 2,000 lap shingles. There was a fall of snow about the 12th of December, which lasted six weeks; there has been no such sleighing any winter since. As an evidence of this fact, there was a dispatch came from Fort Meigs, the carrier of which wished a sleigh. I had just made one, which he took to Chillicothe and back to Fort Meigs three times during the winter. Chillicothe was the residence of the Governor and the base of army supplies, hence there were teams passing at all hours. The first stock of goods that was brought to Lon- don was in March, 1813. The Gwynne brothers arrived there with five five- horse teams direct from Baltimore. The first day, thinly as the country was settled, they sold goods to the amount of $500. Shortly after this, we built the earthenware factory, where the Presbyterian Church now stands. This ware was the substitute of delf and china for three or four years-about the close of the war. There are, I think, of those who resided within the town in the winter of 1812. now living, but myself and Mrs. S. M. Bond. I should, perhaps, have excepted A. A. Hume, who was then an extra chubby urchin of about four years of age."


Mr. Thompson, we believe, is mistaken in the County Commissioners of that year, as the records show that Mr. Blizzard was not elected until 1815. The Commissioners at the time spoken of were Joshua Ewing, Jona- than Minshall and William Gibson. The name should read Joseph instead of James Russell; this was most likely a misprint. Mrs. Betsey Toland, widow of the late Dr. A. Toland, should have been included among the liv- ing ones who were residents of the town in November. 1811. She was the daughter of Col. Lewis, was born before London was laid out, and is yet numbered among its venerable citizens.


Of the residents of the town in 1812. Philip Lewis was a native of Pennsylvania and settled in what later became this county in 1809. His tavern is believed to have been built in the fall of 1812. It was a two-story hewed-log house, and stood on the east side of Main street, not far from High, on the present site of C. Gulcher's restaurant. Mr. Lewis was a tavern-keeper in London for nearly forty years. His death occurred June 28, 1851. The tavern was destroyed by the fire of 1854.


Joseph Russell came from the State of New Jersey. His tavern stood on High street, just in the rear of the site of the Exchange Bank. It was also a two-story hewed-log building. and is believed to have been built in 1811. Many years afterward an addition was built to this house, and it was known as the National Hotel, and as such was destroyed by fire on the night of Angust 4. 1874. Mr. Russell, after remaining in London a number of years, removed to the West and there died.


Robert Hume's cabin, too, is believed to have been built in the spring or summer of 1811. It stood on the present site of the residence of John Dungan, on Main street; this, in a year or two, was replaced by a more commodious structure, two stories high, built of hewed logs. The building was about 24x50 feet, built of white oak timber, which was very heavy, and, owing to the few inhabitants of the town, when they came to raise it, out- side help was sought from the settlements of Darby and Paint. In this house Mr. Hume kept a tavern until 1815, when he removed to Chillicothe,

but after a few years again returned to London. He was a native of Vir- ginia, and, in 1804, settled in what is now Madison County. He died May 9, 1854.


Joseph Warner was from Virginia, and was a carpenter by trade. His cabin was built in 1811, and stood on the corner of Third and Main streets, now the site of H. W. Smith's residence. He came to the vicinity of Lon- don about the year 1810, being then a single man. He followed his trade many years, then removed to a farm in Union Township, and died in 1868. His wife was Sarah Atchison.


William Wingate most likely only resided in London temporarily, as his life is known to have been passed in the country. For further particu- lars concerning him the reader is referred to the sketch of Union Township.


John Thompson, the father of the writer of the above article, was from the State of Virginia. He built a cabin on Main street, where the Central Bank now stands.


Rev. William Sutton was a local preacher, and by trade a carpenter, which occupation he followed in and about London for some years. In after years, however, he entered the itinerant service of the M. E. Church.


It is not known that David Dungan resided in the town at all; he, too, must have been only a temporary resident. Carey, the tanner, is re- membered by some of the old citizens, but that is all, as he left the place at an early day.


Capt. John Moore was a Virginian by birth; he settled in this vicinity before the county was formed, and remained here until his death, in 1839.


Col. Langham came to the Northwest Territory toward the close of the eighteenth century, and was a resident of Ross County for some years. He lived in the vicinity of London as early as 1807, and died in the county about the year 1830.


Robert Smith was a Virginian, and was only a resident of this locality a few years.


James Ballard became one of the early Sheriff's of the county and one of its early tax collectors.


Patrick McLene was a native of Pennsylvania. He came to Ohio at an early day, and for a time prior to the laying-out of London, resided in this vicinity. His death occurred in London in 1863.
