   The first settler in the township was Isaac Bacon. He was born in Boston, Mass., in 1772, and when quite young, prompted by that active energy that actuated the pioneers of the Reserve to break away from the crowded coast of the Atlantic, he left his native city, and removed to Genesee in the State of New York, where he purchased some laud on which he commenced his improvements. In 1801 he married Nancy Cranmer, a sister of Jeremiah and Abraham Cranmer, long known as residents of Northfield.

   In the Spring of 1813 Abraham Cranmer came into the town ship, and purchased the North half of Lot 72, and formed a permanent settlement.

   In the early 1800’s a young man named Henry Woods came across a stream he named Indian Run. Some years later, a man named Abraham Cranmer from Northfield purchased 90 acres of property near Indian Run at the intersection of Jenkins and N. Bedford Roads. This is where he built his home in 1824, the first log house in this new settlement.

4.   Macedonia, Ohio.

   Macedonia's history begins in the early 1800s, when Henry Woods discovered a stream he later named Indian Run. Years afterwards, Abraham Cranmer bought 890 acres of land next to Indian Run, where he built settlement's first log house in 1824. This settlement was referred to by later residents as Corners.
