| ALANSON
EARL was born in Canada in 1813, and was brought to the
United States the same year. Two years later the family
moved to Logan couny, and in 1817, they again moved to Clark
county where they resided until 1832. In that year they
came to Allen now Auglaize county. At the age of
twenty-years, Mr. Earl had accumulated fifty dollars with
which he entered forty acres of land in section eight, Goshen
township. He immediately erected a log cabin on his land,
and in teh fall of 1833, he married Miss Rachel Day; of
this union eight children were born, of whom six are still
living. The entire country was a wilderness at that time.
When Mr. Earl went to Wapakoneta to enter his land, he
started from where Mr. Elsworth lived on the section line
where the Waynesfield and Wapakoneta pike is now located.
Then followed the section line by a blaze on the trees to where
he struck the Lima and Wapakoneta road, there not being a house
in theneighborhood. Mr. Earl resided on the land
that he entered in 1833, until his death, which occurred in
1867. |
