Note: Cass Twp: Pioneer Settlement, Incidents and Traditions Posted by Ruth Hoggatt <[email protected]@seidata.com> on Thu, 16 Dec 1999, From "History of Dearborn & Ohio Counties," 1885. Benjamin MOULTON, an octogenarian, who lived down on Willow Creek, in this township, and died in 1878, some years before his death said, "I came here with my father in 1802, at which time there were twenty Indians to one white man, but they were peaceable on this side of the Ohio." *Shortly after coming a sad accident deprived him of his father, mother, and youngest brother. "We were living in a shanty at the mouth of Grant's Creek; the back water in the creek drove us out, and we camped for the night on high ground, near a dead black ash tree; during the night, this tree fell across the party, killing my father, mother, and younger brother, instantly, and fractured the skull of my brother, Bill, who is older, now lives up the creek. There were eight children of us, all boys, sleeping around the old folks. #It has been assumed that the parents died in 1802, as this states that the accident happened "shortly after coming". However, Jeremiah's birth is supposed to have been in March 1803 so the accident had to have been in July, 1803 or Jeremiah's birth is wrong. |
