EARLY TIMES AND INCIDENTS IN VERMILLION.

Robert Wells, father of Philo, was too
old to labor, when he came with his sons.
He was known as a pious and good man.
Charles, his son, married a Miss Durand,
removed first to Lorain county, and then
to Illinois. Lemuel went east, and was a
long time Consul at the Island of St. Cath-
erines, South America.

This also indicates the number of people
subject to taxation and their personal property
- as 5 cents here represent one head of cattle,
and 20 cents a horse. Meagre as it appears, it
was as difficult for them to pay it, and much
more so, than for us to pay what we do at this
day.
In November, 1817, Mark Summers, also
from Newtown, bought Winton's right, and
moved his family in with Winton's. At the
same time Philo Wells, from Dutchess Co.,
N. Y., took up temporary quarters at Austin's
shanty, and soon after built on lot No.
nine, 1st section of Vermillion, about one-
half a mile east of his present residence.
Deacon Beardsley, about same time, built
on lot five, 2d section, near where his son
Clement now resides.
Winton, during the Winter of 1817-18,
built and removed to the block house on
lot number three. In 1817, Joel Crane,
Esq., and Capt. Luther Harris settled just
over the line in Florence, on lots 41 and
51, and Dr. A. H. Betts and Levi Jackson
a little further south. And Robert W.
Betts located a half a mile south of Wells.
In the spring of 1818 Ziba Harris set-
tled one half a mile east of Wells, and
Robert Wells, father of Philo, with his
younger sons, Charles and Lemuel, settled
near Mr. Betts. - Name Variation: Robert Welles6,3
