    EARLY TIMES AND INCIDENTS IN VERMILLION.
    by Benj. Summers.; from F.P., June, 1863.

    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.
