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

    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 settled one half a mile east of Wells, and
    Robert Wells, father of Philo, with his younger sons, Charles and Lemuel, settled
    near Mr. Betts.

    Samuel Sanders had settled near where Sugar creek crosses the
    North Ridge, as early as 1815, or 1816, and Benjamin Demund a little farther west,
    on the same ridge. John Bartow and family, son of Jonah, and Leonard Norton, his son-in-law, came in in 1818, and settled near tile old gentleman. In the summer of 1819, Amason Washburn settled on S. E. corner of Lot six, 2d section, where he still resides. Jesse Ball settled on the farm he now occupies, lot three, 2d section, about the same time.

    Philo Wells, Esq., was from Dutchess county, New York, originally, with his
    wife, Hannah Lewis, from Connecticut. He had little to begin with but a good
    trade, (blacksmith,) good health, iron constitution, and indomitable energy, industry
    and perseverance. He united blacksmithing and farming, and soon after tavern keeping, and soon was a go-a-head citizen, and exercised much in-
    fluence. He succeeded Winton in the justiceship for six years, and has become comparatively wealthy. Large quantities of bog iron ore have been taken from the
    farm he first "took up," which has added materially to his means.
    His wife died in 1848, and he married for his second, Mrs. Smith, of Connecticut.
    He had issue: George, Lewis, Wheeler, Eliza and Emeline. George and Wheeler
    became residents of Illinois, and merchants; are married and have issue. Lewis is an enterprising citizen, unmarried. Eliza marned Thomas B. Abel, and died in 1849,
    without issue. Emeline died young
