A little later in the year 1830 the Widow Kelly and her son David, the latter still a resident of the township, settled on the Wesley Parvis farm. Immigration having turned toward Michigan, before the close of 1830 six energetic, determined men had entered the township for the purpose of assisting in bringing her forests into a state of cultivation. They were Robert Johnson and his family, of which James H. and William were members, fixing their land on the present site of Michigantown; George H. Downs on the Riser farm; Enoch T Williams, in Michigantown; William Phelps, on the land belonging to Isaac Painter, and John Whitmore and sons, on the Brandon farm. On the 6th day of January, 1831, Richard G. Paris settled on the farm where his son Samuel is now living. Of those who came up to this date, but three are now living. They are David Kelley, James H. Johnson and Samuel Paris. At that time, they were young men, vigorous and strong, and while they bear their ages well for the hardships endured, yet Time has left his mark upon them, tingeing gently their locks with gray.
Later in the year 1831, came the following men: Carlton Kent and his son George, who located on the Baird Farm; David Kelly, on the farm belonging to his son James; James Scott, on the Jacob Heicy farm; Benjamin Saylor, in Michigantown, and a man by the name of Langlin, who also made his home in Michigantown.
