“One of the earliest settlers in this territory was Jedediah Morehead it hunter and trapper. He might not in those very early days have been called a settler at all, as he roamed about a good deal, squatting here find there wherever he found the best hunting. though later. he moved his family a large one to Vernon Township, where he purchased land and settled, on Section l. He hunted the swampy region about the cranberry marsh (the old settlers called it "the mash" ), where he found hear and all other four-footed wild animals plenty, as well as wild geese and ducks. Even to this day it is is a good ducking ground. In the northern part of the township. and extending into Huron County is a narrow, irregular strip of dry land jutting into the swamp: and upon the extreme point of this strip. Morehead built a small brush cabin, which is well remembered by the later settlers in which he spent much of his time. This is yet known as "Morehead's Point." There is little doubt that he was the first settler and built the first cabin in the township.
