A small portion of this original tract still remains in possession of some of the descendants of the family and has never been owned by other white men.

Bardeen, Publisher....Vol. 2, p. 31: "The very earliest settlement which we find recorded within the limits of the present town of Springport was made in 1790, eleven years after General Sullivan's famous raid, by Frederick Gearheart and John Thompson.* Gearheart was a blacksmith and settled east of Union Springs. He was a very generous and hospitable old gentleman and was highly esteemed by the Indians that remained on the reservation and they frequently sought his skill in mending their tools. For these kindnesses and also for nursing an old Indian who became very sick while at his place, the Indians showed Gearheart and Thompson, whom they also respected, many favors. It is said no Indian would steal or burn anything belonging to these men; and when the sheriff came through with orders to destroy all settlers' houses on the reservation the Indians said these two should be spared. This was done and the other forty were destroyed. Gearheart died at a very early day, previous to 1805."*printer 27,120,0*ÿÿCopy Here the record of Davis, Thompson and Gearhart's coming to this area from Pennsylvania.ÿÿÿÿ*printer 27,120,1*ÿÿ...THE INDIAN & THE PIONEERÿ• by Rose N.

The first meeting held in it was June 29th, 1817. The church was built in 1816, used until 1837, and torn down in 1851. A few of the old residents can still remember attending service in this church when it was first built. The interior of the edifice was exceedingly plain and severe. At first the seats were long benches, afterwards came the high, square pews. No music save vocal, was allowed, but afterwards the base viol was introduced. People came to meeting from many miles around. They all brought their dinners and after the morning sermon and Sunday School, in the summer they sat on the benches outside and lunched and visited. In the afternoon there was church again."*printer 27,120,0*ÿx- Xø*úÖ  ".8"÷w.6"]"d.25"ÿy1.75"7.8"66 =þ  wvD:\QA\epsonfx.fnt
