Hon. Horatio Seymour, of New York (afterwards Governor), a shrewd politician, owned the south part of section 9, town of Lansing, in Ing-ham county, on which he had built a log house and small saw-mill, whieh was also quite central to the counties before named. And I never had a. doubt but that he made that location with a view to the capitol of the State,
Previous to the convening of the Legislature in 1847 Governor Seymour visited Parsons and had a long interview, to my knowledge, and it was said, had secured his influence in passing a bill for changing the capitol from Detroit to Lansing.
