      p. 121
      HARRISON TOWNSHIP
      ...
      p. 123
      ...
      Joshua Burget and his sons, Joshua, Joseph, and George, settled here before 1804. William Bennett, an early justice of the peace , came into the township about the same time. William Ront and Joshua Hedges, from Virginia, and Philip Cherry and his brother James became residents of the township in 1804, while Isaac Snyder settled here about the same time. Philip Cherry had a blacksmith shop a mile and a half north of South Bloomfield as early as 1806. Mrs. Lucinda Pratt, with four children, and John Champ came here in 1809; Jacob Hott and Aaron Dean, about 1810, John Byerly and George Hoover, about 1811; and Philip Gatewood, William Evans and a man named Van Gundy, a miller by occupation, about 1812.
      ...
      Phillip Swisher, Charles McDaniel, Elijah Wright, Dr. Burrell, Enos Cutler, Simon Hadley, Jacob Stage, Abner Briggs and Jonathan Blue were also early settlers in Harrison Township, some of them coming here in the early days of the settlement.
      I believe the name William Ront is incorrect as it is spelled in the text. I think the name is actually William Rout. I say this for two reasons. 1. John Hedges (most likely related to Joshua Hedges mentioned in the text above) was the executor of William Rout's will. 2. Jacob Hott and Elija Wright (also mentioned in the text above) were both witnesses to the will of William Rout.
