" The writer, U. Hawley, was born in Darby, New Haven Co., Conn., July 30th, 1787. My father moved from there in July, 1797, to New Milford, then in Lucerne, now in Susquehannah Co., Pa., where I married Polly Ward, from Roxbury, Conn. I moved from there to Florence, Huron Co., O., June 4th, 1816, upon lots Nos. 86 and 85, into what is now called Birmingham - the first settler. My nearest neighbors were at Florence Corners, three miles west, and at Webb's Corners, five miles east. I kept tavern for several years. My wife died Sept. 18th, 1818. We buried three children (sons) in Pennsylvania,

I was married the second time to Betsey Crocker, of Dover, 0., Dec. 5th, 1819; we had born to us eight children; three daughters and two sons are alive at this date, 1860. In 1823, I commenced partnership with Charles Whittlesey; bought an addition to my farm of forty acres, built a saw mill and set up cloth dressing and carding. April 3rd, 1827, we took in Silas Wood as a partner. In the Spring of 1832, we dissolved partnership - Charles Whittlesey and Silas Wood sold to Jonathan Ward and Steadman, and U. Hawley to Daniel Wand.
