EARLY HISTORY OF WOODSTOCK
" Uncle Jesse, '; as he was familiarly and respectfully called by his acquaintances, settled two new farms in Tompkins county, N. Y., one at Tecumseh, one in Woodstock and one in Kansas. He was one of the first settlers at Tecumseh, raised the first wheat in Lenawee county,, from which was furnished the first cake at the first Fourth of July celebration ever held in Lenawee county. While at Tecumseh, he began to feel the need of an education for his children, and therefore removed to Detroit for a few years, that they might avail themselves of the superior privileges that city afforded.
