The township lies between Brownstown on the west and Vernon on the east, and is comparatively regular in outline. Its external appearance is varied, presenting a surface from level to rolling, and from rolling to broken and hilly, the latter covering but a small portion lying in the north, known CHESTNUT RIDGE. The portion of the township is not well adapted to agriculture as horticulture, which has in the past received considerable attention. Peach and apple orchards were numerous, and the production large. Vineyards have also been planted by the farmers of this section, and from the grapes a very excellent quality of wine has been made. Leaving CHESTNUT RIDGE, the surface becomes level or undulating, and some of the finest farms in the county may be found. The timber still standing consists of oak, ash, beech and other varieties peculiar to this climate. The township is well watered by the west fork of the Muscatatauk River and its tributaries. Settlement The precise date of the building of the first cabin by a white man is obscured in the shadows of seventy years and we are left by conjecture, to considerable extent as to its first settlement by the whites. The first families that came were the Loves, Coxes, KELLARS and the Dudleys and there were marriages among these early families. It is said that no white man had settled in the township before the later part of 1816, or the early part of 1817, and as to who was the first no one claims to know. The KELLARS settled near Dudleytown --- ABRAHAM on the first or second farm north, JACOB west, and the farms of GEORGE and ISAAC (recorded land entry 1821) joined on the north. John Love settled further north in what is still known as the "Love Neighborhood." He is long since dead, and his descendants are now old men. Abraham Love and Hiram Love are also classed among the pioneers. Nathan Cox settled in the northern part of the township. William Cox, Andrew Cox and others of the Cox family were among the very first. William Dudley built near the present site of Dudleytown in 1820. He is said to have been the first resident physician of the township. The Church A Baptist preacher by the name of McCoy while passing through the settlement en route to some point north, met some old acquaintances who induced him to stop for the night and preach. Messengers were sent to invite the neighbors, and on that night the first sermon was preached. A few years later a Baptist Church was organized by Pastor Samuel McConnell and the people living in the area, but it was some time later, in 1829, that a church was built. This was an old log church which stood north of Dudleytown. The most prominent early families that belonged to the Baptist Church was the KELLARS, Cumstocks, Blairs, Collines, Briners, Brammers, Densfords, and some members of the Love family. The early preachers were JESSE ROBINSON, John Bell and William Gillaspy. JESSE ROBINSON, born in Kentucky and came to Jennings County as a boy and his family were member of the Coffee Creek Baptist Church in Paris Crossing, Jennings County. It was while a member there that he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior, and a few years later the was ordained by the church to be a preacher. Jesse's daughter, Mary Ann Robinson, married Isaac Keller's son Nathan Keller. Jesse died in October of 1850 while minister of the Baptist Church and is buried in the Schoolhouse Yard Cemetery.
