Re: My Previous latter, re: Montgomery... Here are the references... Thanks Dick Carter [email protected] Taylor Township Taylor Township was created in December 1846 being carved out of Montgomery and Jennings Townships and presumably named after Zachary Taylor who was the field commander during the contemporary Mexican War. ___________________________- Montgomery Township Montgomery Township was one of the three originals created March 4, 1819 and contained the entire north half of the county. It underwent many boundary changes until September 1861 when the final change was made. It was presumably named after Major General Richard Montgomery an American Revolutionary officer who captured Montreal and was killed leading the assault on Quebec (Dec. 31, 1775). ________________________________ Jennings Township Jennings Township was created in September 1846 from a portion of Montgomery Township and the five easternmost sections of Jackson Township. The boundary has had slight modifications of its boundaries with both Jackson and Morgan Townships. The present boundary dates from September 1861. It was named in honor of Governor Jonathan Jennings by his relative Theodore Jennings who purchased 1,000 acres there in 1841 __________________________________ Jackson Township Jackson Township was created in January of 1834 from the northern part of Morgan Township. It gave up its five eastern most sections to Jennings Township in September 1846. It presumably named after Andrew Jackson.
