St. Joseph County

thanks to T.Fish St. Joseph County
exerpts written out below are from a small booklet entitled, "St. Joseph County Historical Review and Business Guide" written and compiled in 1932 by Roy D. F. Sowers, Historian.

"Three Rivers being located in Lockport township, it is necessary that the history of that township be taken up first. Lockport township, originally was much larger than at present, was organized in 1829, later re-organized in 1833...."

"Mishael BEADLE arrived in 1831 and located on the west side of the Rocky river. He bought and finished the MCINTERFER mill which was dropped at MCINTERFER's death. Mr. BEADLE built the first two frame houses. Later familes to arrive were: John H. BOWMAN, Philip HOFFMAN, Borden HICKS, Eli BRISTOL, Burroughs MOORE, William ARNEY, WOLF and two sons, Joseph P. STERLING, A. C. PRUTZMAN, Edward S. MOORE, Joseph P. MILLARD, Elisha MILLARD, John M. LELAND, Hezekiah WEATHERBEE, FISH brothers of Fish lake, William ARMITAGE, Chas. F. THOMS, a Swiss soldier under Napoleon and his two sons, George W. GARDNER and his brother John H. GARDNER who later became the largest land owner in the township, Andrew GOODE, George LELAND, Washington GASCON, William and John I. MAJOR."

ALSO: The Saint Joseph County Genweb site has some on-line historical data. One entry from a journal kept by Geneva SMITH states that the FISH brothers were early pioneers to the Three Rivers area. Most of Clara (HILL) FISH's known brothers ended up in Three Rivers.
