VERNON TOWNSHIP.
DESCRIPTION AND AREA.
OLD SETTLERS.
Vernon Township was early settled, and
was hunted over two or three years before the first permanent
settler located his claim. The last buffalo killed in this
section of country was by Phillip Saladay, in Vernon
Township, about 1798, and on the farm of a Mr. Chaffin.
Soon after this a few pioneers settled on Pine Creek. Among
those who first made Vernon Township their home were: David
Salladay, REuben Smith, Reuben Smith, Reuben Chaffin, Shadrack
Chaffin, his son, Nathaniel Searl, Wayatt Chamberlain, Lemuel
Cadot, Jacob Halterman, Richard Malone, Robert Bradshaw, William
Bacon, Samuel Perry, Peter Bussey, Edward Barkalow, Francis Duteil,
Lewis Duteil, James Patton, John Patton and Jerry Patton.
The first minister who preached in Vernon Township was Rev. Rufus
Cheney, who came here in 1816. He preached in Vernon in
1818; also Rev. Eli Kelsey. A few years later a
Free-Will Baptist church was organized, called the New Vernon
Church. A log school-house was erected it is thought in 1817,
on Pine Creek, between the Clinton Furnace and Chaffin's Mills.
The first store was started by the Old Clinton Furnace
Company.
Thomas Caden ran the first blacksmith shop in
the township, near Chaffin's Mill.
The first school-house was a log cabin, about fifty
yards northwest of the Chaffin Mill. The teacher was Amza
Welcher.
Henry Ambrust runs a general store on Lick Run.
J. Newland runs the mill and keeps general
store, and is the Postmaster at Chaffin's Mill.
Chaffin's Mill is the township voting
precinct.
