Population over time

2 figures

McCutchenville fell from 400 to 371 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

Good substantial roads traverse the township in every direction, one of the chief of these is on the west side of the Sandusky, crossing the northern county boundary at McCutchenville; there it meets with a road from the southeast, crossing Belle Vernon. Another leading road enters Section 34 from the south, and passing north for about a mile and a half, it meets a road from the west crossing the Sandusky, when they turn abruptly to the northeast, crossing the township toward Mexico. The only railroad in the township, is the Ohio Central, which crosses the northeast corner, coming out near McCutchenville.

The first white settler was Henry Lish, who with his wife and three children settled on the southwest quarter of Section 17, about 1816-17, erecting the first dwelling, a log cabin, 18x20 feet. Other early settlers were Cyprion Stevens, Joseph Chaffee, Robert Gibson, Elisha Brayton, William Hodge, Linus Cutting, James Whitehead, Dr. Dunn, Joseph Stiggerwalt and Thomas Leeper. The last named came in 1821 from Ross County, Ohio, abou.t the same time that Samuel Harper located in Sycamore. Soon after came Peter Baum, William Combs, Levi Bunn, John Taylor and George Bogart, who settled in what is now Belle Vernon, John Morris, Alfred McCauley, and his brother Jehosaphat, Peter Hummon, Jonathan. Peter and Moses Kear, the latter a gunsmith. Henry Lish established in the earliest days of settlement a government ferry across the Tymochtee. Michael Brackley, who sat in both branches of the Legislature, was also a very early settler. Ira Aikens and Joseph Chaffee opened the first taverns. Robert Gibson came with his parents to this township in 1821, being then but two years of age. He was a native of Ross County, Ohio; his parents settled one and one-half miles west of Tymochtee Village. At that time very few whites were in the township, while Indians were numerous. Mr. Gibson grew up with the reputation of a Nimrod, and on one occasion he killed four deer, besides wild cats and turkeys. When twenty-three years of age he began herding cattle among the Indians. In 1844, he married Margaretta, daughter of John Beam, who settled near McCutchenville in 1829, and was the first white miller at the Indian Mill near Upper Sandusky.
