The following, whose dates of arrival cannot be given, were among the earlier settlers in Farmington:

Ross Phillips, son-in-law of Samuel Mansfield, and John Phillips, his brother, both of whom worked in Mansfield's employ,

Ebenezer Stewart, who married a daughter of Arthur Power, Thomas Ingersoll, cousin of Deacon Erastus Ingersoll,

Darius Lawson, - now living at Grand Ledge, - David Wilcox, John Wilcox, John Walcott, father of Chauncey D. Walcott,

Theron Murray, from Ontario county, New York, Samuel T. Bryant, William Daily, James B. Mellady, - died 1876, aged eighty- two;

Salmon Stilson settled on northwest quarter section 6; Champlin Green, who settled for a time in Troy before coming to Farmington;

Chauncey W. Green, who settled in Avon in 1825, and afterwards moved to Farmington; Alanson Brooks, from Saratoga, New York;

David Coomer, who settled on the northwest quarter of section 2, with a family of nine children, and who, it seems,

was in rather better worldly circumstances than many of the immigrants; William Serviss, northwest quarter section 5;

Warren Servis; __ Barnum, on section 22, in whose family the dreaded cholera first made its appearance in the township, in 1832;

Nathan Smith, Stephen Jennings, Darius Cowles, Frederick Monroe, Joseph Horton, Jacob Wood;

these and others swelled the number of settlers, so that the first township assessment roll bore the names of seventy-nine resident tax-payers.
