Michigan Jackson
The following journal entry gives the date of the holding of the first circuit court of the county of Jackson, which was made a matter of
record:
At a session of the circuit court of the territory of Michigan, held in and for the county of Jackson, on Monday, the 3d day of June, A. D. 1833, pursuant to law, at the court-house in said county, were present Hon. William A. Fletcher, presiding judge, and William R. DeLand,
assistant judge.
The court was duly opened by the proclamation of the sheriff, David Keyes, when the commissions of the judges were read in open court, bearing date April 23, 1833.
Olney Hawkins, of Ann Arbor, was appointed district attorney for
the term, by which it would appear that up to this time the people of Jacksonburgh had been so peaceable and quiet as not to offer any inducements to any limb of the law to settle among them.
