• Notes

  Since Thomas was born around 1780, and the area later to become Ohio was not ceded to the United States until the Treaty of Paris in 1783, I would expect that Thomas was born in Canada. The United States created the Northwest Territory under the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. _____ Places of Arcadia Township, Lapeer County, Michigan Past and Present ARCADIA TOWNSHIP T8NR11E Arcadia is made up of nearly 3000 acres of state land, part of the land coming from the old Vernor Estate. There are a few lakes for public fishing and woodlands for hunting. There is a golf course in Lum. Children who live in Arcadia go to Lapeer, North Branch or Imlay schools. ARCADIA The first settler in the town was Thomas HASKILL (buried in Bahel Cemetery) who came in 1839 and for several years ran a hotel in sec 31. The town was organized in 1857, with John B WILSON as its first supervisor. Major K HASKILL became the first postmaster, the post office being located in sec 30, on July 22, 1857. The office closed June 26, 1860. Nothing remains in the area except for the abandoned Bahel Cemetery to the east on Bearinger north of Haines and the abandoned "Pendleton" Cemetery just north of Daley on Five Lakes. The old Bearinger School was located south of Daley on Five Lakes, never at the present day Bearinger Church (which has always been a church).
