A FAMILY OF PATRIOTS
The advance guard of the English to settle in Miller township was John Eubank. Mr. Eubank immigrated to this country in 1805, and in a short time sent for his family; then came to Miller township in November, 1811, enter ing a large tract of land on which some of his descendants are living to this day. George W. Lane describes him as “A plain matter-of-fact kind of a man. of few words, and in trading with him in old times, the less bragging you did over your goods, wares, etc., the sooner you could strike a bargain. It might be said John never kissed the ‘blarney stone.’ ” He has a numerous family of descendants in the township to this day and they are all of the best citizens.
About 1818 and 1819 quite a number of settlers came into the township from the vicinity of John Ewbank’s home in England, among whom were the Smiths, Sawdons, Hargitts, Liddles, Cornforths, Lazenbys. Many of their descendants are living on the ground taken up by their forbears from the government. They are a fine class of people, and have acquired property and are of the kind that make our country a stable one.
