In the Beginning of Fayette County
....There were 154 families shown on Prices 1850 census of
Fayette County.
....Fayette County is 6 townships wide and 6 townships "tall." Each
township is 6x6 miles or 36 square miles per township. Total square miles in
Fayette County therefore is 36x36 or 1296 square miles, which when divided by
the 154 families mean there was only one family for every 8.5 square miles in
1850. There were no actual towns developed, only couple of merchants and
craftsman located together near future town locations.
....Not all of these families were farming, as one of the first tradesman to
follow farmers into a pioneer area are millwrights who would set up sawmills
on the Turkey and Volga Rivers. Plus traders and merchants were always pushing
into the frontier. Assuming about 100 of the families were setting up farming
claims and perhaps attempting to plow or pasture 60 acres each, which would
probably be generous at this early date, only one growing season after the
land was officially opened to farmers, only 6000 acres of the 83000 acres in
Fayette County were being farmed. Within ten years,
by the 1860 census, almost every inch of the
county would start to be exploited in some fashion by the rush for land and a
living on the frontier.
---The first Villages in the County---The
early platted villages in Fayette county were: West Union-June 1850,
Westfield-July 1851, Auburn-1851, Volga City (Lima)-Oct 1851, Taylorsville-Feb
1852, West Auburn-Sept 1853, Centerville (adjoining Taylorsville)-May 1854,
Albany-July 1854, Elgin-Feb 1855, Fayette-June1855.
Some notes on Upper Iowa University, at Fayette
....The 1860 census lists a number of Upper Iowa University students
living within the village of Fayette/Westfield. Upper Iowa opened in 1857 for
students, but in the first years of growth the numbers remained small. The Seminary building was started
in 1855, with the first floor ready for occupation by late 1856.
....The Seminary building was constructed by local craftsman, quite a number of whom came to
Fayette specifically to work on the building, especially the stone masons as the
Seminary building was a major construction right on the edge of the frontier
with absolutely no local industry in place to support such a feat.
....Initially the university of conceived in 1854/5 by the Roberston's and
Alexander's both as a family endeavor to support education, but more importantly
for economic speculation and gain, as the two families owned nearly all of the
prime land around the Fayette/Westfield valley area. Robert Alexander was
one of the very first to claim land in the newly opened are north of the Neutral
Ground line in 1849, building the first mill at today's Klock's Island, and
within six years a university would start.
....The vision of the
first building was simply a much smaller construction of hewn timbers and rough
cut boards. After John West arrived in 1856 to head up the construction it
apparently was obvious to him that the local limestone beds might be utilized
for a much more elaborate construction of huge limestone blocks. His ideas
were more costly but after apparently a short deliberation with the Robertson's
and Alexander's the present project as we know it started by the summer of
1855. As no local industry was in place, limestone quarry areas had
to be located. A major lime kiln was put into operation to supply lime for
the making of lime mortar and plaster. Lumberman, sawyer's, stone
masons, blacksmiths, carpenters, teamsters, laborers had to be advertised
for and rapidly moved to the newly platted village of Fayette, in the control of
the Robertson's. Along with the buiding of the university was an increase
in farming activity, craftsman, merchants.
....Many of the first families to take up permanent, long term settlement in
Westfield Township came by 1860, some to farm, some like GGGrandfather Reuben
Sr. Hunt, a master head stone mason, to work the new College building.
....The early development of a University at Fayette in the frontier
times had significant positive impact on the quality of life in the county,
drawing improved economics, social and genetic base into the area very early in
its development.

....Additional notes and information has been inserted. Families were
generally sensed by a in a sequence of some type, often by the census taker
riding back and forth, east and west on a north south pattern through a county
or township. The point being, families near each other in the numbering
sequence are living in close proximity, on an east/west pattern. Within
town, the census takers would simply walk the platted streets in a pattern
attempting to locate any households living in more remote areas.

The Hunt family migrated directly from New York State in 1855 to work on the
College. He would build a small frame house on several lots of land purchases
from the Robertson's, at the base of the hill coming down into Fayette (College
Hill) from the south and on the east side of the road. In 1856 he brought his
family from New York to Iowa to stay for good. Eventually he added to the
house and build a major brick house in the area. Later his son Reuben Wrench
Hunt would farm the land on the bottoms and hillside to the SE of Fayette. After
Reuben finished his work on the Seminary he traveled to Ames to be be a lead
mason on a number of the first Iowa State University buildings, then to return
to Fayette to live out his live as an area stone mason, building number of the
larger cut limestone buildings in the area. Fayette would then become the
hometown of the Hunt family until the death of his Great-grandson, Walter Reuben
Hunt, who farmed 180 acres along the Big Rock Road, just north and east of
Fayette, until he died in 1977, the last of the Hunt Clan in Fayette. All
of Reuben Sr's sons would become mason's as well as farmers and teachers.
Many families however, listed in the 1860 census would move on to other
locations. Reuben would become a head stone mason of the Seminary project

....GGGrandfather Samuel 1 Andrew Thompson grew up in Carroll County,
Ohio. In his mid 20's he removed by ox wagon with at least two of his
brothers and made original claim to land 2 miles west of Taylorsville in
Fairfield Twp, in 1854. During the next couple of year's Samuel claimed
land in various locations around Fayette County, some on the far side just north
of Fairbanks, as well as around West Union and Elgin. Eventually all of
his ten siblings would end up in Fayette County, centering around the Brush
Creek (Arlington) area but also locating north around Fayette, West Union, Elgin
and Wadea. Samuel would die in 1865 on a journey back to Ohio, and be
buried in Allen Family Cemetery, apparently to escort his parents Zach 1 Caleb
and Priscilla Albaugh Thompson to Iowa. His parents would make the journey
immediately after Samuel's burial and farm the remainder of their lives on 120
acres of land originally claimed by their son's immediately to the SE of the
Six-corner's Intersection at the south edge of Brush Creek (Arlington).
The farm listed above in 1860 was in the SW 1/4 of Section 36, Westfield
Twp. This is the extreme SE corner of the township. Samuel was also owned
other land in the Fayette, Wadena, Brush Creek triangle.

....Richard Earl was a miller and farmer. My 1865 he would acquire several
hundred acres around the southern rim of hills at Albany, plus buy out the
original Albany mill and then build one the biggest mill and mill dams on
the Volga River. Farmers traveled for miles to the Albany mill to have flour
ground because of the reputation of the mill. Like many big mills, Earl's
mill ground grist (grain) and also sawed rough cut lumber utilizing water
power. Grain was often ground at night as flour production took
significant time. Mills needed millers and sawyers so attracted other
families, plus craftsman such as blacksmiths, carpenter, leather workers,
coopers, merchants. The village of Albany and adjacent Lima were very
prosperous pioneer towns during the early decades of development, with the big
mills being a strong drawing card. By the late 1860's there was an
adjacent chair "factory" which shipped chairs and furniture by ox cart
and eventually by rail when the railroad came just north of Albany in about
1874. The Earl family remains in Fayette County today, with many of the relative
moving into the Fayette area as Albany declined in the 1900's. At the time
of the 1860 census the Earl's were milling and farming the northern part of
Section 23, Westfield Twp, adjacent to the southern part of Albany.

....Hiram Marvin built a mill about a mile upstream or to the SW of Albany near
the shear bluffs as the Volga came around a bend. Hiram would trade Albany
mill and farm for land near Fayette, and with his son Joseph would build a
unique mill powered by the wind, which would sit just to the north and east of
the present day bridge (2000) in Fayette. Joseph and the Marvin family
would run a flour steam mill in this location until the 1940's, specializing the
grinding of buckwheat flour. The son's of Lloyd Marvin donated the remains
of the steam mill to the Old Thrasher's of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and a nearly
total recreation of the buckwheat mill is in place, utilizing much of the old
machinery, in one of the big metal museum buildings on their ground, and
available for tour. At the time of the 1860 census the Marvin family was
milling and farming in the SW1/4 of Section 23, in Westfield Twp.
