Jeff4ndn Township Jefferson Township consists of the first thirty sections of Township 13, Range 8, and Is bounded on the north by Marlon, on the east by Mill Creek, on the south by Cloverdale, and on the west by Warren Township. It is drained by Mill Creek, and was originally timbered, as the neighboring townships. The soil is a rich loam, suitable for the production of grase and grain. At one time it formed a part of what was called Deer Creek Township, which Included Jefferson, Warren, and Cloverdale. In the year 1846, Warren and Jefferson gave off enough to make Cloverdale Township, leaving Jefferson with its present ares. The first settlers, called squatters, consisted of four families—three named Higgins, and one named Kirk—who made temporary settlement on Section 16, in the year 1819. John C. Sherrill made his entry of land In the autumn of 1822. Jacob Clark, George Hendrick, William Albin, George Hurst, John Gillman, Absalom Hurst, Abraham Hurst and a Mr. Langwell, all came in that year or the early part of the next After this, settlements were made so rapidly, that it Is al most impossible to note them as they occured. From 1822 to 1833, the larger portion of the land was taken up by entry, and but few places remained unentered after the year 1836 The first marriage was that of William Aldrich and Betsy Higgins in the year 1823. The next was that of Henry Nosier and Mary Hurst, which was solemnized by David Scott, Esq., in 1824. The family record of John C. Sherrill showed that his daughter Caroline was born on February 27, 1823, and she was, probably, the first child born in the township. She later married Elijah McCarty. Probably the next was Andrew McMalns— named after his father— he was bom June 10, 1824. The first mill in the township was built by John Hadden in 1826; the next in 1829, by John Allee. These were both horsemills. The first watermill was built on Higgin’s Creek in 1834 by John Smith. These mills afforded all the facilities then required for the production of meal and flour. The first Justice of the Peace was David Scott, Esq., who continued in office for a period of more than twenty years. It appears from the church records, that the Regular Baptists organized Mill Creek Church, at the house of Rev. Absalom Hurst, in 1828, and in 1830, built a log meeting house near the sit of the present one. The date of organization of the Methodist Church cannot be given. In 1838, they built a hew-

ed-log church, called Jones’ meeting-house. The congregation went down in 1856, after which the house was used as a shop. The Missionary Baptists organized New Providence Church at the house of John C. Sherrill in 1839, and built a log house of worship in the succeeding year, and now have a commodious, handsome house. Rev. Absalom Hurst was the first resident minister in the township and was considered the founder of Mill Creek Church. The early vices of this township, as most new countries, were drunkenness and gambling; but, by the advance of a better civilization, sober habits and a more healthy moral sentiment prevailed. Though drinking spirits was a common fault in the early history of the township, it is a noteworthy fact, that there never was a stillhouse within the limits of its territory. TYie schools of the township were organized in 1834. The books containing the records, kept by John Allee, Treasurer of the Township Trustees, showed that he received from the School Fund Commissioner of the County, the following amounts: In the year 1834, $116,31%; 1835. $191.93%; 1836, $131.06%; 1837, $152; Total for four years, $591.31%. The school section was sold in the year 1830, to Col. John Allee, John C. Sherrill, William Conley and Isaac Alspaugh, for $1,800. The village of Mount Meridian was laid out by William Heavin and Bryce W. Miller, In tha year 1833. It was at first called Carthage, but, in order that the town and the post office might have the same name, It was given that which it now bears.
