GENERAL HISTORY OF HAMILTON COUNTY

     The following statistical statement from the returns made for the tenth census, should be read in connection with Chapter X, on the progress of Hamilton county:

MANUFACTURING STATISTICS OF 1880, FOR HAMILTON COUNTY, EXCLUSIVE OF CINCINNATI.

     JOHN FILSON. - Since printing of the sheet containing a notice of Filson, in Chapter V. of this volume, we have found the following remark in the second edition of Collins' History of Kentucky, volume I, page 640:

     A memorandum left by his brother says he was killed by an Indian on the west side of the Ohio, Oct. 1, 1788, about five miles from the Great Miami river, and twenty or twenty-five from the Ohio - a few miles northeast of Glendale, Hamilton county, Ohio.

     [The possessor of this work is recommended to pass through it with pen or pencil, and correct it according to the memoranda below and the errata prefixed to the second volume.  It will heighten the pleasure of subsequent reading, and prevent some misconceptions of the text.]

     Page 11 - First column, twenty-second line from the bottom, for "five," read "four."
     Page 12 - Sixth line, for "Little," read "Great."  In the list of post offices for "Banesburgh," read "Barnesburg;" for "Newton," read "Newtown;" for "Pleasan Ridge," "Pleasant Ridge;" for "Shannville," "Sharonville;" and insert an asterisk after "Walnut Hills," and a comma before the same.
     Page 18 - In the second line of the table, for "Land," read "Sand."
     Page 29 - Read the latter part of the sentence place on lofty summits, visible from their settlements, and communicating with the great water courses at immense distances, rival the signal systems in use at the beginning of the present century."
     Page 34 - In seventeenth and twenty-fourt lines, for "Miamis," read "Munsees,"
     Page 39 - Eighteenth line, for "impartial," read "important"
     Page 41 - First column, fifteenth line from the bottom, for "mayor," read "major."  In the second column, twenty-first line, for "north-westward," read "northeastward."
     Page 43 - Second column, second line from the bottom, for "for" read "from."
     Page 45 - Second column, twenty-third line, for "four," read "three."  First column thirty-fourth line for "Green township," read "Springfield township, excepting the north tier of sections, which belong to another surveyed township."  The statement in the text is that usually made in regard to the College township.  It is, however, certainly wrong.  In the Reply, published in Cincinnati in 1803, to Judge Symmes' appeal to the committee of Congress to accept the second township, in the second fractional range (now Green), as the College township, the "proprietors," after citing the familiar clause in Symmes' "terms of sale and settlement," promising the reservation, for academic purposes, of the entire section nearest the point opposite the mouth of the Licking, say: "Agreeably to this provision, the third township of the first entire range on Mill creek, was set apart and designated on the map of the purchase by Mr. Symmes as the College township, so early as the year 1789, and for a considerable time after he refused selling it."  This statement is confirmed by an appended extract from the journal of the Territorial legislature, held in Cincinnati in 1799.  The township described is now, of course, identified as six-sevenths of Springfield township.  Green was never the College township, except in the desire and intention of Judge Symmes, who vainly, and through several years, tried to secure its acceptance as such by the Territorial, State, or Federal authorities.  The writer is very happy to be able thus to settle one of the vexed problems of local history.
