CHAPTER XVIII LIBERTY TOWNSHIP. - pg 422, 425 FROM the erection of Findlay Township as a subdivision of Wood County, in 1823, up to September 17, 1829, the territory now composing Liberty formed a part of that township; but on the latter date the following erection was made by the board of commissioners : "At a special meeting of the commissioners of Hancock County, John Long and John P. Hamilton, present, Charles McKinnis, absent, a petition being presented to said board from sundry citizens of Findlay Township, praying for a division to take place in said township in the following manner, to wit.: Making the section line between the first and second tiers of sections on the east side of Range 10 the division line, which was accordingly agreed to by said board; and ordered that all that part of Findlay Township west of the aforesaid line shall be made a separate township, and shall be designated and known by the name of Old Town." The township was so named in honor of a Wyandot village that once existed on the north bank of the Blanchard, in Section 7, traces of which were plainly visible during the early years of the county's history. Old Town extended from the section line one mile west of the Bellefontaine road to the western boundaries of the county, and from Wood County on the north to Hardin County on the south, thus embracing nearly one-half of the county. The act of erection gave offense to many of the inhabitants thus cut off from Findlay, and especially to Charles McKinnis, the absent member of the board, who, regarding the act as sharp practice, and without waiting to investigate the facts, looked up Hamilton, one of the commissioners who had passed the act, and vigorously assaulted him. His brother, Philip McKinnis, hearing of the fight, also sought Hamilton and repeated the assault. The latter, not being their equal in physical strength was a very badly whipped man. He afterward sued the McKinnis brothers for damages, and recovered $ 75 from Charles and $30 from Philip, together with costs. They were also indicted by the grand jury for assault and battery, pleaded guilty before the court and were each fined $1 and costs of prosecution.
