CHAPTER VI -- PIONEERS (CONT'D)

PIONEERS OF WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP.

The earliest settler of Washington township was probably a Mr. Anderson, who settled at a very early date in section 6. My authority for this is N. J. Roundy, who came to Galland’s Grove, Shelby, county, in 1851, and who himself settled in Washington township in 1872, in section 4. Other very early settlers were H. A. Tarkington, David Collins, Alexander Ford, J. B. Wade, Joe Thompson, Cap Dye, Ozander Crandall, Harvey Smith, George Crandall, William Colburn, Sr., Jacob Crandall, Albert Crandall, William Gray, John Kleeb, John Halliday, N. J. Roundy, Karl Keehner, Lewis Shorett, Samuel Daggett, S. M. Baughman, J. Wade, Samuel Carroll and his sons, John and Frank, Joseph Hinkle, Timothy Buckley, William Peters, Eugene Sullivan, Patrick McAndrews, M. J. McAndrews, Thomas Cosgrove, Henry W. Wade, L. McMath, S. S. Chamberlain, D. C. Potter, Charles Potter, Hiram Brown, J. C. Pratt and T. D. Pratt.
