Lenawee County By John J. Adam, February 7th, 1878.
Speaking of the first period of
seven years from the commencement of the settlement of the county, he says: "Within this period two towns only were organized in Lenawee-county, under the names of Tecumseh and Logan." Now, under the' same territorial enactment which provided for the organization of those two towns, the organization of the township of Blissfield was authorized, and as will be seen by the historical sketch of that town, prepared by James T. Kedzie, and read by him at the semi-centennial gathering at the old Bliss homestead some two years ago, and which is being pub lished amongst the papers of your society, the township of Blissfield was organized in May, 1827, at the same time as the other two town meetings were to be held—Mr. Hervey Bliss, at whose house the town meeting was held, and twelve other voters officiating as the political fathers of the township, all of whose names are given by Mr. Kedzie.
