The township records for the first three years after its organization are missing, and it is impossible to give all the officers for that time. Zachariah VAN DUZAR, who settled in the township in 1834 was its first supervisor, elected in 1835. Lyman BLACKMAR was a justice of the peace the same year, and Parvis ROUND was one of the highway commissioners. Major Daniel AKIEN was also living in the township at that time.
The following were elected in 1838, viz.: Supervisor, Zachariah VAN DUZAR; Town Clerk, George GALE; Assessors, Benjamin FOWLE, Osman B. BLACKMAR and Alva BLODGETT. Commissioners of Highways, Abraham VANDEBOGART, Aaron SPENCER and John S. WEAVER; Justice of the Peace, Zachariah VAN DUZAR; Collector, Parvis ROUND.
The following persons were also living in the township at the time and held various offices: Benjamin C. PIERCE, James A. STEWART, Lot FALKERSON, Lyman SMITH, James H. KING, Charles FOWLE, William BENSON, Garrett MORFORD, Daniel A. WISNER, Sheldon W. SHARP, Geo. W. JACKSON and Isreal BUCK.
