Lenawee County By John J. Adam, February 7th, 1878.
Darius Comstock, on January 18, 1826, took up the southeast quarter section nineteen, in Tecumseh, not, I apprehend, for speculation, but, as I under stood, for some relative or friend,—his own previous purchases and settle ment being in what is now the township of Raisin, and about half way. between Tecumseh and Adrian. In May and June, 1824, Jas. Patchen, who afterwards became the first sheriff of the county, took up the north-west quarter section thirty-five and the west half of southwest quarter' twenty-six.
In the north half of the town, now the township of Clinton, except on section seventeen on part of which the village of Newberg was laid out, and which was all taken up in the fall of 1824, by Thomas Goodrich and others, only a few lots were entered that year. The southwest quarter of section eight was entered November 13, 1824, by Ira Goodrich, and the west half of north-west one-fourth of that section and the west half of southwest one-fourth, section five, were entered November 25th, 1824, by James W. Cole. Most of the land on which the village of Clinton is situated, on section five, was taken up in September, 1825, by John Tyrrel, and part of the balance of what is now embraced in the village plat by Amos Hixon, the same month, and the rest by Alpheus Kies in September, 1828.
