    "The recognized first settler of Sandy Township was Godfrey Huff. The records show that he was from Bedford County, Penn., and that in May 1805, he purchased from Godfrey Haga, for $1,062.50, a tract of 1,000 acres in the southwest corner of the third quarter of Township 10, Range 1, or the southwest corner of Sandy Township, embracing also the corner of Lawrence [Township], across the river. The year 1803 has been assigned by old settlers as the date of his emigration to this tract, but we have found evidence that he was here in 1801. Mr. Huff was a man of large frame, and wore the broad-brimmed hat and the garb of the Dunkard sect, of which he was a member. He is said to have raised many hogs on the river bottom, driven them to Detroit, Mich., for sale, and with the proceeds paid for his land. He had five sons - Michael, Henry, Samuel, Frederick and Andrew. Most of the boys subsequently emigrated to Iowa. Godfrey Huff lived and died in Sandy Township, his death occurring about 1825."
