Election of officers for Washington township

General
On the sixth of January, 1847, it was ordered by the county commissioners,
that township 74, range 20 and township 74, range 21, be declared
a township to be known as Washington township. This included the present
townships of Washigton and Dallas, and so remained till about October
3, 1848, when Dallas and Franklin were defined as one township and Washington as it now is.
The earliest election of which there is any preserved record, was held on
the fifth of April, 1852, at which the following officers were chosen:
Allen Pearson and Joseph Grove, justices; James Fletcher and Henry
Dresser, constables; Hezekiah Willey, Andrew Reed and Joseph B. Snyder, trustees; and Allen Pearson, clerk.
