Leist was born in Clear Creek Township sixty-six
years ago, and has resided within its bounds all his
life. The following are the names of the first
settlers of the township, to the extent that he
remembers them.
John Leist (father of Michael) came in
1805. He is well remembered. He served
many years as Justice of the Peace, and was thirteen
times elected to the State Legislature. The
very first settlers of Clear Creek, as Mr. Leist
remembers them, he named as follows - the time of
their arrival varying from 1800 to 1810. They
settled in different parts of the township:
Martin Smith, Mr. Binhimer, the Fosnaughts
(the descendants of the Fosnaughts constitute
a large voting force of the township to this day).
John Nicholas and Daniel Conrad came
early. Henry and Daniel Conrad,
two descendants, are still living, at an advanced
age. George Conrad is still living at
the age of 82 years.
