He patented the tract in the southwest corner of the township, and afterward settled on Tracts 130 and 131. He managed to hold a settlement on both tracts by building his double log cabin just on the line, where the Marcy farm now is. Mr. Baugher was a very eccentric character. He was a carpenter by trade, and removed to Mercer County, where he died. Dee Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
