This township is situated northwest of the center of Allen County...
Thomas Hatfield came to the township and purchased a tract of land, returning soon after to his home in Montgomery County, Ohio. He was a native of the State of Delaware, where he lived until twelve years
of age, then emigrated with his parents to Ohio, where he grew to manhood and married. There he was only able to rent a farm, and determined to seek among the cheap lands of Indiana the location for a home and the means of independence. With this end in view, he made the purchase and in November, 1825, he placed his family and household goods in wagons, and on the 6th day of December following, reached his home in the forest. He settled on Section 23 where he lived six years, then sold to William Bolton. In 1833, he entered the farm upon which his son, Benjamin Hatfield, now resides. This he cleared and improved, and made it his home until his decease, in 1863.
