He [John Jackson] came here with his father and purchased land from others on the site of what was afterwards called Georgetown, where he erected a brick house which is standing today and in good condition. It is probably the oldest brick house standing in the county today. There was a postoffice at Georgetown for a number of years, probably in the decades between 1820 and 1840. At one time, it is claimed, the mail between Cincinnati and Indianapolis was carried via Georgetown, and the mail vehicle stopped there for the carrier to eat dinner. A cemetery was laid out there about 1820 and many of the early settlers are sleeping their last sleep in that quiet spot. During the muster day period it was one of the places of rendezvous, and many were the good old times spent at these gatherings.
