History of Butler County
The stockholders in the Miami Bridge Company, in the year 1824, were Adam

Commissioners of Butler County, John CLARK, Edward CORNTHWAITE, Samuel
DAVIS, Samuel DICK, George DICK, William S. HATCH, Matthew HUESTON,
Robert IRWIN, John C. KIBBY, Squier LITTELL, Andrew LEWIS, James MCBRIDE,
Andrew McCleary, David MCMECHAN, William MCMECHAN, Tobias MILLER, Robert

Robert SCOTT, John SLACK, Abel SLAYBACK, Joseph SMITH, Oliver SMITH, John
SUTHERLAND, William TAYLOR, John Henry TRABER, William WALLACE, Joseph
WILSON, John WINTON, Michael YEAKLE, and James YOUNG.
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
About the year 1805 a small society of Presbyterians in Hamilton and the
vicinity formed themselves into a congregation, and had preaching
occasionally by the Rev. Matthew Green WALLACE, who then lived on a farm
on the north line of Hamilton County, about eight miles from the town of
Hamilton. He had preached occasionally from 1801. For several years
afterwards he came to Hamilton, generally every other Sabbath, and
preached in an old frame building then occupied as a courtroom, one of
the remnants of the fort. In the year 1810 he removed to the town of
Hamilton to reside, and continued to preach to the people half of his
time, that is every Sabbath, until the year 1821, when a misunderstanding
occurred between him and some of the influential members of his
congregation, and he was superseded by the Rev. Francis MONFORT, who then
became the pastor of the congregation. Mr. WALLACE had also preached at
Seven-Mile and Dick's Creek.
The list of elders is as follows;
David BEATY, William BIGHAM, John L. WALLACE, David BIGHAM, Doctor
Benjamin B. HUGHES, Hugh WILSON, Jeremiah PORTER, Abraham P. ADREWS,
Isaac DAVIS, Robert IRWIN, Thomas MITCHELL, Daniel DELAPLANE. Benjamin R.
SYMMES, John McKEAN, James M. CHAPMAN, Jonas BALL, William N. HUNTER,
Cornelius W. HALL, Henry J. CURTIS, William WILSON, William BIGHAM,
Doctor Cyrus FALCONER, S.E. GIFFEN, Noah C. McFARLAND, James R. GARRISON,
Josiah SCOTT, Isaac ROBERTSON, Doctor J.S. McNEELY, J.W. HARRIS, R.C.
STEWART, William ANDERSON, J. Calvin SKINNER.
The Seven-Mile Presbyterian Church at Collinsville was erected or
organized in 1810. It was a frame building and stood eight rods west of
the present house. Some of the early members were Samuel DAVIS, Robert
IRWIN, Sen., Matthew RICHARDSON, Ralph BROWN, Robert SWANN, Oliver SMITH,
father of Samuel SMITH, (who now lives in Seven-Mile, eighty years of
age), John ARMSTRONG, and Samuel YOUNG. Matthew RICHARDSON gave the land
on which the house stood for this purpose--two acres, including the
graveyard--. The house was about thirty by forty feet, and was furnished
with slab seats, with legs for supports; from James YOUNG's sawmill. In
the course of time better seats were put in, and the pews were sold, but
this practice was soon discontinued, because of the dissatisfaction,
which it caused. For the choir-leader the class had Daniel CORSON, who
stood close to the pulpit and "lined" the hymns, and Matthew J.
RICHARDSON, who pitched the tunes. The Rev. Francis MONFORT was one of
the first ministers.
In the Spring of 1806 the first school was made up in this part of the
township and taught by George HOWARD. The house stood a quarter of a mile
northwest the center of the town. It was a log building, with a large
fireplace in one end, logs cut out for windows, roof covered with
clapboards, which were held down by weight-poles. This house lasted and
was used for twenty-five years. Among the teachers were John BLACKBURN,
Enoch MORRIS, and Robert McMANUS, an Irishman, who was a fine scholar and
a gentleman. The IRWIN boys, the KEGARDs, STOUTs, HAYNESes, PRICEs, and
DARRs were among the scholars.
Milford Township, in 1820, had a population of 1,501; in 1830, 1,808;
1840, 1,868. Many of the early settlers of the township have passed away.
Their names may be partially summed up with this list: GRIMES, GLIMES,
GARD, HANCOCK, HAYNES, HINSEY, JONES, IRWIN, KREAMER, KENNEDY, LYTLE,
LIPPENCOTT, MARSHALL, MARKLE, OGLE, McCLEARY, McMECHAN, BROWN, McNEAL,
PUGHE, ROBINSON, REED, RICHARDSON, STOUT, RYNEARSON, SIMMONS, SCOTT,
STEEL, SIMPSON, TAYLOR, TEEGARDEN, WALTERS, WHITE, WILLIAMS, WATTERS,
WALDEN, DARR, and YOUNG.
UNION TOWNSHIP
Union Township was organized in 1823, and taken from Liberty. It is in
the extreme south-east of the county. The south and east portions of the
township, in particular, were heavily timbered formerly, the oak
predominating. The south-west was low, swampy, and not regarded as the
most valuable.
Principally Marylanders, Pennsylvanians, and Virginians settled Union
Township. The uplands were taken up and settled by resident owners, while
the low and swampy lands were purchased and held in large tracts by
wealthy parties, such as Judge BURNET, Isaac HUNT, the STOCKTONS, and
others, and were in a manner vacant for a long time.
The earliest settlers in the township were Captain COX, on section 22;
Joseph McMAKEN, Section 4; George VAN NESS, Section 5; Thomas HURON, Mr.
TRAVIS, Section 35; and Brice VIRGIN, who afterwards went up to
Princeton. AYRES settled just south of Westchester; IRWIN settled in the
south part of the township, and was an old acquaintance of McMAKEN's,
coming from the same neighborhood in PA. SEWARD came out in 1797, and
lived in McMAKEN's house while waiting for his own cabin to be put up.
IRWIN, Robert and COX, Lydia were married 1816 in Warren County, Ohio.
