Mr. Jeremiah Daniels came here in 1809 also, and married a daughter of Mr. Downing in 1813, settling on a farm near the old Downing home, afterward owned by V. J. Hinde.
Mr. Daniels carried the United States mail between Huron and Cleveland for several years. The round trip was made in a week (no accidents preventing), and was without doubt considerable of a journey, when the condition of the roads and the dangers of the forest are considered.
Savages at that time were marauding occasionally on the Reserve, and though Mr. Daniels never met with any serious injury, it is said that he passed through several exciting experiences.
