TROY TOWNSHIP, The first land in Troy township was by William Gass and his brother-in-law, Francis Mitchell, in the fall of 1811. Mr. Gass selected the west half of section 12, and Mr. Mitchell the southwest quarter of section 11. In the winter of 1811-12 Amariah Watson, of Knox County, entered the north half of section 24, upon which Lexington now stands, together with a number of other quarters in that vicinity. The first white inhabitants arrived in the spring of 1812, in the following order, viz.: Amariah Watson, and his brother-in-law Elisha Robbins. They built their cabins and moved in with their families in the latter part of March. Robbins settled on Watson's land. On the 11th. of October, 1814, the first town officers were elected, viz.: Amariah Watson, Town Clerk; Calvin Culver, Constable; John Young, Jacob Mitchell and Solomon Culver, Trustees; Wesley Spratt, Treasurer. Amariah Watson and James Young were the first Justices of the Peace. The first flour mill was built by Amariah Watson and his two brothers, Samuel and Noah, on the north branch of Clear Creek, in 1812. Mr. Watson also laid out the village of Lexington.
