The first settlement in Mcleod county

who ever visited the part Of thu State west
Of the Big Woods, with view TO open up
the country to settlers, were Messrs. MAR
TIN McLEoD, JOIN II. STEVENS, JAMES II.
NAVAL, WV. S. CmAMBLIN, ANDREW j

23d Of the same month, Mcssrs. MclEop.
STKyEss, BELL and NAVAL took claims,
and sent out parties to work for them, who
arrived on the llth Of the mex, June. There
was 70, however any thing Of momen, done
in the county until the mex, spring during
which time the county was established by
an act Of the Legislature, and organized on

is personal property; much Of the land not
being entered.
