Lenawee County By John J. Adam, February 7th, 1878.
I am indebted to Gen. Brown for some reminiscences of an exploration trip made in the spring of 1826, by himself and three others from Tecumseh to the Cary mission, on the St. Joseph river, opposite to where the city of Niles now stands. And I have thought it would be well • to give here a few particulars of the trip, as it was made in what was nominally a part of Lenawee county for about three years after the organization of the county; and the General says that he has never before furnished any account of it, and I had certainly never seen or heard of any notice of it. Dr. M. A. Patterson, in an address to the Raisin Valley Historical Society, stated that the original plat of the village of Niles was recorded in the first volume of the registry of deeds for Lenawee county—a rather striking proof of the extent of country embraced in the
county in those early days.
