Early Settlers
Samuel Jackson bears the distinction of building the first house in this township about the year 1812. Mr. Jackson had emigrated from Tennessee in the year 1800, and had settled in the eastern part of what is now Highland county, on Rocky fork. Hunting was his chief occupation and during the year 1801 he killed two panthers and quite a number of deer and bears.
