Indian Point Twp. Named for a favorite camping ground of the Indians. The townships were christened on Monday, Jan. 14, 1850. John C. LATIMER settled on the northwest quarter of Sect. 6 in 1833, and is believed to be the first white settler, at least to make this permanently his home. He was born in Robinson Co. TN Aug. 18, 1812, and came with his father in 1831. He still resides on the same farm he first settled and where the old log cabin was erected. Others soon followed: Stephen HOWARD, John H. LOMAX, John HOWARD, Sr., Rev. John CRAWFORD, William STEWART, Henry RUSSELL, Daniel MEEK, John DOWDY, Manyweather BROWN, Anthony BOWERS, and Alexander LATIMER. Not one of the above-named pioneers, except John LATIMER, reside in the township; and all have crossed the Jordan of death, save Alexander LATIMER, Henry RUSSELL, and Manyweather BROWN. The first child born in the township was Ann Frances LOMAX, daughter of John H. and Nancy LOMAX, who was born the 25th of Oct. 1835. The first death was in 1838, of Mr. HIBBARD, and elderly gentleman and father of Widow ROBINSON, at whose house he died. The first school was taught by Dennis CLARK, the present County Judge, in the winter of 1837-38, in a little log school house on Sect. 16. There are 3 churches, two Christian and one Catholic.
