In 1807, the Connecticut Land Company had made
a division of their lands west of the Cuyahoga River... In 1810, this property,
known now as Harrisville Township, and a part of Westfield was surveyed
into lots of 100 acres each... Mr. Harris at once made a visit to the new
country; and, selecting a site for his cabin, went home, to return in the
following year with his family and effects. He was joined in his
new home, in June of 1811, by ... and a little later by Calvin and Lyman
Corbin from Boston, Mass. |

HARRISVILLE TOWNSHIP...
On the next morning, the 14th day of February, 1811, the ox-teams
arrived in Harrisville, and Mr. Joseph Harris, his wife and child... settled
permanently in the new township; and it is from this day that the first
settlement of Harrisville Township dates...
With June of the same year there came an accession
to the new colony. George Burr and his wife and his brother, Russell,
arrived that month from Litchfield County, Conn., and settled on a lot
adjoing Mr. Harris. The month of September brought in two more settlers,
Calvin
and Lyman Corbin, from the city of Boston, Mass., who purchased and
settled on the farm now owned by George Burr, a mile south of Lodi... The
Harrisville colony now consisted of five men, two women, and two boys.
There were three log huts about one-half mile apart from each other, seven
yoke of oxen and one horse and two dogs, with a lot of household furniture
and farming tools and wagons. This was the inventory on the 1st day
of October, 1811. |
