Lenawee County Probate Judges 1885
The first judge of the probate court of Lenawee county was the Hon. Musgrove Evans, of Tecumseh. He was appointed by General Lewis Cass, then Governor of the Territory of Michigan, soon after the organization of the county, in 1827. Judge Evans was one of our pioneers, coming from the State of New York and settling in Tecumseh in 1824. He was a member of the Society of Friends—a man of great energy of character and kindness of heart. Owing to the sparseness of the population, the business of the court could not have been so onerous as to interfere very seriously with his other avocations
