The prospects of Lexington as a future mercantile point gave her another accession in 1784, in the person of Judge John Coburn, who afterward became an influential democratic politician, judge of the territory of Michigan, and one of the most efficient political writers of his time in this state. he was a citizen of Lexington for ten years, during which he married Miss Mary moss, of Fayette. he finally settled in Mason County, and died there in 1823.
