History of Gibson County Indiana, published 1884; History of Gibson County, Indiana : Her People, Industries and Institutions, with Biographical Sketches of Representative Citizens and Genealogical Records of Many of the Old Families, published 1914 gives that township a chapter of its own.
The chapter covers the township.
