CHARTER XXXIII
The PIONEERS OF THE YEAR 1825.
The Settlements in the Various Townships -
Lake - Mohican - Perry,
Jackson - Green - Vermillion - Montgomery -
Orange - Mifflin -
Milton - Clearcreek - Ruggles - Troy - Sullivan
Pg. 94
In the
settlement of the various townships prior to 1825, the arrival
of pioneers has been fully detailed, and, since we will not have
space for a personal notice of each pioneer, at a later period,
we have concluded to give the name of each voter and male
citizen, so far as possible, at that date.
That the list may be properly arranged, we will first
give the townships in the fifteenth range - Lake, Mohican, Perry
and Jackson. |

The voters and property holders of
this township, in 1825, were as follows:
|
Barnes, Justus |
|
Bates, Truman |
|
Beach, Daniel |
|
Carter, Norman |
|
|
Carver, Aldrich |
|
Durfee, Perry |
|
Ferris, Abraham |
|
Fox, Reuben |
|
|
Roorback, Jacob |
|
Sacket, Harvy |
|
Smith, Ezra D. |
|
Sturtevant, Bradford |
|
| and shortly after: |
|
|
|
Hall, John |
|
Monroe, Samuel |
|
|
Taylor, Enoch |
|
Weston, Solomon |
|
|
| Troy - |
It is believed there was not a single
white inhabitant within the township in 1825. At that
period it was a common hunting-ground for Indians, and the
pioneer hunters, of what now constitutes the county of Ashland. |

It will be seen by consulting the
foregoing lists, that the population of the territory now
constituting Ashland county, in 1825 was much larger than is
supposed by many. If we estimate six members to each family,
the aggregate number of people in this region must have reached
nearly eight thousand. When we reflect that in 1812 the entire
population did not exceed one hundred and fifty souls, the
settlement of the wilds of Richland county, for the next thirteen
years, must have been exceedingly rapid; while the erection of
cabins and improvements dotted almost every part of the forest. <
