History

Jackson Township was organized in 1832. It was originally a part of Kelso Township. The first settlement in this Township was made by Isaac Lawrence, Senior, who emigrated from Pennsylvania in the spring of 1818, and settled on the Northwest quarter of section 17. Mr. Lawrence brought with him eight sons and two daughters, who settled in the same neighborhood, each on a quarter section. [5]

Prior to the change from Ohio to Indiana, both Isaac and his brother Volentine settled here with their families. Check property records dated April 27, 1818 #547 and #548. Volentine continued to purchase property over the next several years #365, 088, 386, 404, and 294. "Volentine Lawrence of Dearborne County Ohio having deposited in the General Land-Office a Certificate of the Register of the Land-Office at Cincinnati whereby it appears that full payment has been made for the South West Quarter of Section two, in township Seven of the Range two"
