 Belle Plain Township (Illinois)
 While it might not be just right to pronounce Belle Plain township the best in the county, one thing is certain, no other township surpasses it in the fertility of its soil or in the quality and quantity of its production. It is probably, taken as a whole, the most beautiful and pleasing to the eye, having neither the flat, plane-like surface of the pure prairie nor the bold hills of the river bluffs, but a surface composed of gentle undulations, full of small brooks and groves, though the latter are fast being eradicated to improve the pasturage.---Past and Present of Marshall and Putnam Counties by John Spencer Burt and W.E. Hawthorne, Chicago, The Pioneer Publishing Company 1907
 Early Settlers
 The first settlers of the township of Belle Plain located at Martin's Grove at the head of Crow Creek. The pioneers who settled there were: James Martin, August 1829, Samuel Hawkins in 1830; Thomas Bennington in 1831; Jerry Black, Pierce Perry, Joseph and Robert Bennington, 1832; Daniel Hollenback, 1833; Nathan Patton, 1834; John Wilson, 1835; Forsythe Hatton and James Clemens in 1836; David Hester and William Hendricks, 1838; Levi Wilcox and William Hester, 1844: John Skelton made a claim in 1835 and lived on it several years but left for Iowa in 1845.
 Forsythe Hatton settled there with six sons, three of whom, William, John F. and Andrew, soon made claims for the their father on Section 30. John F. then located near the town of Pattonsburg on section 36. John F. Hatton was an expert hunter and bore a scar on his right arm, the result of an encounter with a wounded buck. Mark Hatton, a brother of Forsythe Hatton, settled here in 1840. He was a soldier of the war of 1812, serving under Gen. Jackson at New Orleans.

 trusted friend of Lord Baltimore and shortly after his arrival was appointed
 secretary of the province and privy council. He was closely identified with
 the interests of Lord Baltimore in Maryland and died in battle during the
 engagement at the Severn. His descendants are still found in Maryland,
 Virginia, Ohio and other western states, and have filled many positions of
 public trust, including a cabinet office and places of high military rank, a
 representative of the family having been a brigadier general of volunteers.
 Forsyth Hatton, the paternal grandfather of the Doctor, was a native
 of Virginia and by trade was a blacksmith. In 1836 he came to Illinois and
 forty years later died at his home in Marshall county, at the age of seventy-
 six years. One of his brothers was a soldier in the war of 1812, and was in
 action at the battle of New Orleans, and another served in the Mexican war,
 enlisting in 1847. The grandfather of Forsyth Hatton was a captain in
 the British army and was serving under General Wolfe when he fell at the
 battle of Quebec. The father of the Doctor was Andrew Hatton, a native
 of Rockbridge county, Virginia. He married Artemisia Moulton, who was
 born in Tazewell county, Illinois, and a daughter of Levi Moulton, who was
 a native of Kentucky and representative pioneer of Tazewell county. Levi
 Moulton married Mary Burns, a daughter of Garrett Burns, who was born
 at Rising Sun, Kentucky, in 1801. Her father was born near Edinburg,
 Scotland, and was an own cousin of Robert Burns, the well known Scot-
 tish bard. In 1786 Garrett Burns came to the United States with his
 parents, the family locating in eastern Maryland. He, however, started for
 the western frontier and crossing the Alleghany mountains he cast in his
 lot with the pioneer settlers in Kentucky, making his home on the Ohio
 river near Cincinnati. Those were dangerous and troublous times on the
 frontier and the pioneers were almost constantly warring with the Indians
 of the territory. During the fall that he arrived on the "dark and bloody
 ground" Mr. Burns joined the army and through the succeeding seven years
 was in almost constant service, taking part in many of hardest-fought en-
 gagements with the Indians in the successive campaigns under Generals
 Harmar, St. Clair and Anthony Wayne. In a hand-to-hand fight with an
 Indain warrior at the time of St. Clair's defeat, his thumb was cut off by a
 tomahawk stroke which was aimed at his head, but which he parried with
 his rifle. Making good his escape he started with two wounded companions
 through the wild forests for the nearest pioneer settlements. They had no
 arms except hunting knifes, no blankets and no means of making a fire. For
 three weeks they subsisted on acorns, black cherries and slippery-elm bark
 and traveled day after day through forests infested by wild animals and still
 wilder men till they safely arrived at a settlement on the Ohio river. In
 1794 Mr. Burns was again under the command of General Wayne in battle
