JOHN JONES CALLED IT BETHEL
NOW IT IS
STAFFORD,
THE METROPOLIS OF FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP, MONROE
COUNTY, OHIO.
IT HAS GOOD SCHOOLS, CHURCHES AND SOCIETIES
AND GREAT RESOURCES,
OUT OF WHICH ITS FUTURE GREATNESS IS TO BE
MANUFACTURES.
IT HAS ENTERPRISING BUSINESS MEN
AND PATRIOTIC CITIZENS, WHO BELIEVE IN ITS
FUTURE.
ALL OF WHICH FACTS ARE SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING COLUMNS BY OUR
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.

The population of the twp was 260 in 1837. Among the early settlers
in the neighborhood at that time and whose families are still represented
near the village was William WILSON, grandfather to Capt. Thomas WILSON and
Rev. Geo. WILSON, now of Summerfield. He settled near here in 1818, and
representative of the fourth generation from him in direct line is now
principal of the Stafford schools in the person of T.E. WILSON, son of Capt.
Thos. WILSON.
