The center road, north and south, was, as priginally cut though the forst, the Harrison road.  It was made by the General's troops, and subsequently was straightened and improved.  In 1825, when the new State road was laid out eleven miles through Fairfield and portions of Ripley and Bronson, the residents of this township gave material assistance to the enterprise.  Benjamin Lee, Jonathan Kingsbury, R. M. Cherry, William Cherry, Silas Adams, Eleazer Jones, Samson Baker, William Greenfield, Clark Berry and Samuel Foote, gave their services.  The road cost one hundred dollars per mile.  The west, or ridge road, was laid out at an early day.
