Lenawee County By John J. Adam, February 7th, 1878.
who had been a fellow passenger with me on the steamboat from Buffalo to Detroit, when I first came to the territory, had also become a settler in the town of Franklin, in the southeast part of it, which was more heavily timbered than the northern part, and generally preferred by those accustomed to farming on timbered land. Mr. Slater is still a resident of Franklin, where he first settled, a successful and prosperous farmer.
But enough as to personal matters. My record as a delegate to the first constitutional convention, and then as secretary of the state senate for three years, and afterwards a member of the state legislature in both branches, and as a state officer, are sufficiently embodied in state journals and documents, to render any detailed statements here unnecessary, especially as much of it could not well be considered as belonging excluly or more particularly to the history of Lenawee county.
