WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP--The next township after Wayne and Adams in order of settlement was Washington. Immediately following the beginning of the sale of lands, Reinhard Cripe, a Pennsylvania-German, settled on Spy Run with his family.
The real beginning at the settlement and improvement of the township was made by the Archer family, which consisted of Benjamin Archer and wife, then past middle life, their three sons, David, John S., Benjamin Jr., a daughter Susan and her husband Alexander Ballard, their daughter Elizabeth, who was the wife of Thomas Hatfield, also one of the party, and the daughter Sarah, with her husband, Edward Campbell, a French Canadian.
Andrew J. Moore was also a member of the party, and Andrew Pettit, who in 1828 married the daughter of David Archer. Thomas Hatfield had visited the township in the spring and entered land, and in November 1825 accompanied by the Archers, who had removed from Philadelphia to Dayton, they set out, and traveled thither by the Wayne Trail, through boundless forest, camping out by the way during nights, which were made musical by the howling of wolves and shrieking of wildcats.

THOMAS HATFIELD
"The painted portrait of Thomas Hatfield would present a picture, in whose outlines the qualities of firmness and bravery would stand forth in bold relief - qualities which were among the most essential possessions of those who were first instrumental in opening the way for the settlement of this county. It would show, further, the evidence of a mind far above mediocrity, cultivated by a rigourous course of individual application in the circumscribed field of intellectual pursuits to which he was confined; a large amount of physical as well as mental force, and withal, a bright and cheerful disposition, and an inclination to make the best of his uncomfortable surroundings, in the hope of better fortune, to be brought about by industry in the vocation in which he had chosen to act.
"He was born in the State of Delaware, and when twelve years of age, emigrated with his parents to Ohio (then recently admitted as a State), settling in Montgomery County, where he grew to manhood, amid wild scenes of frontier life. His youthful experiences fully qualified him for the part he took in later years in the settlement of the township where he passed the last years of his life, and where his remains now repose. He was yet a young man when the aggressions of Great Britian made a defensive war necessary on the part of the United States in 1812. In that war, he enlisted as a muscian, and followed the fortunes of the American Army until its close. He was with the garrison at Fort Greenville, and while there manufactured a pewter fife, which he carried throughout his period of service, and which often awoke the echoes with the patriotic airs of the day. This he bequeathed to his son, Benjamin, in whose homestead it is now treasured as a sacred relic.
"After the close of his soldier life, he returned to Montgomery County, Ohio, and resumed the occupation of farming. He married Miss Elizabeth Archer, and rented a farm in the neighborhood of his father's home. He saw at once that his fortune would accumulate slowly under such circumstances, and denied himself all save the necessities of life, in order to save money wherewith to purchase a farm. Land in Ohio was increasing in value year by year, and his attention was naturally drawn toward the cheaper lands of Indiana.
"Early in 1825, he visted this State -- shaping his course toward Allen County -- and during that visit selected and entered a tract of land in Washington Township. Returning to Ohio, he made all necessary preparations for the journey, and in November 1825, started, with his family and household goods, for the new home, and his second struggle on the outposts of civilization. He settled first on Little St. Joseph River, reaching his destination December 6, 1825. After clearing a farm at that point, he made it his home, and there resided until 1833, when he sold it and entered the farm upon which he passed the residue of his life, and upon which his son Benjamin now resides.
"He was an acknowledged leader in the community of which he was the first member, and from the organization of the township, in 1832 until his death, in 1863, he was constantly associated with the offical business of the township; as Justice of the Peace for twenty-five years; as Township Clerk, and Inspector of Elections at various times. He was a member of the Baptist Church and a devout Christian; and all who knew him unite in honoring his memory. He had two daughters and one son, all of whom are now living."
p 177 Thomas first settled on Section 23, where he lived for six years, then sold to William Bolton, by whom the farm was subsequently sold to its present [1880] owner, John C. Pfeiffer.
p. 178 The Township Cemetery was donated by Thomas Hatfield in 1830. It consists of one acre, which was originally a part of his farm, on Section 22, and is still used for the purpose for which it was designed.
The first election was held at the house of Thomas Hatfield in April, 1832. John S. Archer was elected Justice of the Peace, and Andrew J. Moore and Adam Pettit Constables.
The first religious meeting - In 1829, Rev. Chute, of the Presbyterian Church at Fort Wayne, held the first religious meeting in the township at the house of Thomas Hatfield, and, later in the same year, at the house of David Archer. Services were subsequently conducted by ministers of various denominations who passed through the township en route for other points. No organization was effected until eleven years later, but scarcely a week passed in which religious services were not conducted at some point in the township.
p. 179 The First Baptist Church was organized in 1846, by Elder Alfred Bingham, who continued in charge of the congregation one year. He was succdeeced by Elder Adams, who was the Pastor during the next year. After the close of his ministry, Thomas Hatfield officiated as Pastor until 1860 or 1861. Impaired health compelled him to resign the charge at that date, and the congregation was left without a Pastor. Prayer-meetings were maintained for two or three years after the resignation of the Pastor, but the interest of the members began to wane, and in a short time the congregation was reduced to such small proportions that the prayer-meetings were discontinued, and the organization disbanded.

1833-1863 Washington, Allen, Indiana.
CONFLICT: PARENTS - There is considerable confusion as to who Thomas's parent are. Part of the problem is that Thomas and wife Elizabeth moved to Washington Twp, Allen, IN with no other Hatfields. So far the best we can do is follow a process of elimination for the many available Thomas Hatfields. See Notes under Thomas's father "Mr. Hatfield" for more information.

BIOGRAPHY:
An account entitled "The First Settlers" from the book A SENSE OF PLACE
"The Washington township area, like all of Ohio at the end of the eighteenth century, was a vast green forest inhabited by wild animals and occasional roaming bands of Indians. Surveys made by Whipple and Barber in 1802 and by Israel Ludlow in 1803 described the township as covered with an almost unbroken, undisturbed forest from creek bed to highest point, with a thick undergrowth of spice bushes.
Two parties of surveyors left Cincinnati on September 21, 1795, to survey lands between the Great and little Miami rivers for John Cleaves Symmes. In February 1796, two months before the first settlement of Dayton, Aaron Nutt, Benjamin Robbins, and Benjamin Archer arrived at the high point of land between the two rivers where Centerville now stands. They first moved just southeast of Centerville, but the threat of Indians nearby caused them to move hastily to a more favorable retreat some miles away.
These men were brothers-in-law and veterans of the Revolutionary War, with war bounties to pay for land in the Territory. Aaron Nutt married Benjamin Archer's sister Mary. Benjamin Robbins had married Aaron Nutt's sister Bathsheba. The three men came originally from new Jersey by way of Kentucky. The three, on the advice of Daniel Boone, who sang the praises of the fertile land north of the Ohio River, left for that area to make their new homes.
After surveying the land the three men decided to make this area their new home, and drew lots for the first choice. Robbins, with the lucky first choice, chose 160 acres, Archer then selected 480 acres. Aaron Nutt with the third choice selected a half section. The men having completed their survey work and selected their home sites, mounted their horses and returned to Kentucky.
Robbins returned first with his family from Cincinnati. They arrived April 6, 1797. They were 10 days on the road making their way through the thick undergrowth, and cutting a wagon road as they came. Benjamin Archer apparently arrived the following year with his family. Archer came originally from Mansfield, New Jersey, in Burlington County, by way of Philadelphia and Kentucky. He had been a judge in Philadelphia and was quickly appointed an Associate Judge for Montgomery County. According to reports the entire male population of Montgomery County gathered to celebrate this court opening and the installation of law and order in the County.
Benjamin Archer also operated the first "store" in the township in a log cabin on his farm. He had merchandise hauled from Cincinnati, paying a certain price per hundredweight. Because local teamsters were paid according to the weight hauled, there was much rivalry among them for the heaviest load. One particularly snowy winter he sent several sleds on the long drive after merchandise he had purchased. One unfortunate teamster succeeded in hauling back only one box of hats weighing just 30 lbs. In the spring of 1827, several years after Archer had left the township, a quantity of old, dusty hats were found in the loft of the Archer cabin, reputedly a part of this ill-advised shipment.
To continue the story of the three surveyors who founded Centerville, Aaron Nutt and his family drove their wagons to their new farm site in 1799, arriving on April 1. Benjamin Robbins kindly offered to store their belongings until his brother-in-law could build a cabin, but Aaron refused to unload until he could place his household items in their own new home. He went as far as Franklin, Ohio for sufficient help; and with the aid of six gallons of Kentucky whiskey, he secured enough men to cut logs, hew out clapboards and build the cabin in one day. The family slept under its own roof the first night .
Archer, according to newspaper accounts, also was a brick contractor. Advertisements appeared in Cincinnati and Lexington newspapers during June 1805, inviting bids for building of the first Montgomery County Courthouse in Dayton. Archer won the contract for $4,776. This two story, brick building-42 feet by 38 feet-was occupied in the winter of 1807, although it was not fully completed until 1815 when a cupola was added, and a bell was hung that year.
Benjamin Archer was active in church affairs. From the Baptist Church of Sugar Creek records, we learn he was "Deacon on Trial" in 1800, and was appointed a deacon in 1801. Archer also held position of church treasurer, and was authorized to arrange the purchase of land from Aaron Nutt for the first Baptist Church of Sugar Creek in 1802. In 1812, along with two other members, he was appointed to draft a bill for incorporating the church.
Archer was elected a trustee of the township each year from 1812 to 1819, and again in 1822 and 1823. It is assumed that he chose not to run those intervening two years. After such a broad range of service within the township and the county, and after exacting a very real influence upon the area in which he lived and served with distinction, Benjamin Archer chose to move his family and his children's families to Washington Township in Allen County, Indiana in 1824.
Why he left Ohio we do not know, although there is some evidence that him and his son David carried heavy mortgages on their lands, and they failed to meet their financial obligations, they were subject to court lawsuits. In Indiana, where land was much cheaper then, Archer continued the same wide varieties of interests until his death in 1833. But all traces of Benjamin Archer's home and "store" in Washington Township have completely disappeared."
BIOGRAPHY: The History of Montgomery County, Ohio; 1882; 977.172 H2h pt.2; Washington Township p 3-;
Washington Township was one of the first settled points in the county, for, in February, 1796, two months before a settlement had been made at Dayton, we find a company of men from Kentucky, among whom were Aaron Nutt, Benjamin Robbins and Benjamin Archer, surveying near the present site of Centerville. The first camp struck by these adventurous civil engineers was on the farm now owned by William Weller, just on the outskirts of town. However, they only remained a short time in this place, for, upon the discovery of "Indian signs," the camp was hastily vacated, and they removed two miles to the northeast and took up a position on the farm now owned by Samuel Weller. Here they found a secure retreat, just south of the old Pardington buildings, in a ravine, and here they remained in undisputed possession until they had completed their survey. How long this was we cannot say, but they certainly did not hasten the completion of their work for lack of meat, as a large turkey roost was discovered on what is now the farm of Alonzo Montgomery, and the party hunter had an easy time of it, except perhaps, carrying in the feathered denizens of the forest. After the survery had been completed, the play was laid down in the woods, and these primitive surveyors proceeded to draw cuts for first choice of land. Benjamin Robbins was the first lucky man, and influenced by the springs discovered, immediately selected the half section of land which lay on the west of Centerville, and which embraced the lands now onwed by Benjamin Davis, Mason Allen and others. Aaron Nutt, to whom fate ordained the last choice, always maintained that "Benny had made a poor choce," as better springs were afterward discovered on his own lands. Benjamin Archer, who had second choice, selected the half section northeast of Centerville, and Aaron Nutt took the same amound of land directly east of town.
"After the selection of lands, they mounted their horses and returned to their families in Kentucky, well pleased with the country which they were soon to make their home. They say of the fertility of the soil at this time "that while surveying they found wild rye up to their horses' sides."
"...It is probable that Benjamin Archer, the last of the three surveyors, came out about the same time [as Aaron Nutt, two years later], but it is not definitely known. There are some points in the history of Mr. Archer, or Judge Archer, as he was always called, worthy of note, and, as he did not remain permanently in the settlement, we will give them here.
"A native of New Jersey, he removed to Philadelphis, where he was created Judge of one of the courts. From that city, he removed to Kentucky, and from there to Washington Township. Here he remained until 1824, and was one of the leading men in the community, at one time being Associate Judge of the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas. From this State, he went to Fort Wayne, Ind., where he seems to have been satisfied to give up his travels and permanently locate. Judge Archer was distinctively a progressive man, for, besides his pioneer work in this State, we find him engaged in laudable enterprises wherever he was located. It is generally conceded that he made his first brick and built the first brick house in Fort Wayne, where he died in 1830..."

In 1835 the first steam saw-mill in northern Indiana was built by Benjamin Archer and his sons, on the land of David Archer, on the St. Joseph River, two and a half miles north of the present city limits. David Archer and his son John went to Dayton, Ohio for the boiler, and the other machinery, and it was hauled through the woods to the site of the mill from that distant point, the boiler being drawn by six yoke of oxen, and the rest of the machinery by horses.
The magnitude of this operation and its extreme tediousness, can hardly be imagined by ones in this day of "fast freights." When the machine caravan reached Shane's prairie, bad roads were encountered, and young Archer was compelled to return home for another team of oxen before the journey could be completed.
Unfortunately the mill was soon afterward destroyed by fire, and enterprise in that direction received a decided check in the upper Maumee valley. The next steam saw-mill was that of Rudy Rudisill, on the St. Joseph River, erected in 1841.
P. 209 Annals of the Townships
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP--The next township after Wayne and Adams in order of settlement was Washington. Immediately following the beginning of the sale of lands, Reinhard Cripe, a Pennsylvania-German, settled on Spy Run with his family.
The real beginning at the settlement and improvement of the township was made by the Archer family, which consisted of Benjamin Archer and wife, then past middle life, their three sons, David, John S., Benjamin Jr., a daughter Susan and her husband Alexander Ballard, their daughter Elizabeth, who was the wife of Thomas Hatfield, also one of the party, and the daughter Sarah, with her husband, Edward Campbell, a French Canadian.
Andrew J. Moore was also a member of the party, and Andrew Pettit, who in 1828 married the daughter of David Archer. Thomas Hatfield had visited the township in the spring and entered land, and in November 1825 accompanied by the Archers, who had removed from Philadelphia to Dayton, they set out, and traveled thither by the Wayne Trail, through boundless forest, camping out by the way during nights, which were made musical by the howling of wolves and shrieking of wildcats.
Benjamin Archer was well-to-do for those days, and his sons being grown men, were given tracts which he purchased to improve. David settled on the St. Joseph, two and a half miles from the fort; John S. was given a quarter section near the site of the Catholic ophan asylum; and Benjamin Jr. went three miles to the northwest, upon land recently owned by Alexander McKinley. Mrs. Ballard was given a tract just east of the Wells reserve, but she and her husband, who worked as a brickmaker in the village, did not go upon it until 1830. The heirs of Thomas Hatfield who was for many years a Justice of the Peace, and a Minister of the Gospel, still retain the land the parents settled upon at that time. Near the same locality lay the lands allotted to the Campbells. All of the family were stalwart and healthful, and they have subdued hundreds of acres of forests and changed the somber hue of green to the golden gleam of ripening grain on the landscape..
In the year of his settlement Benjamin Archer established a brick kiln on section 35 were his sons, principally John S., engaged in making bricks, supplying the demand in town until 1830. In this family occurred the first birth, of David Jr., son of David and Anna Archer born January 1, 1827, and the first marriage, of Franklin Sunderland to Rebecca Archer in 1828.
Volume II
P. 35 The Canal Era
The Archer family is one conspicuous in the history of the early settlement and mention is made of their achievements under the head of Washington township and elsewhere. Benjamin Archer, the progenitor of the family in Allen county, though an elderly man when he came here, was full of energy, and his usefulness was recognized by the people in his election to the associate judgeship upon the organization of the county.
He found time however, to manage his brick yard in Washington township, and an his family made the brick for and erected the first brick buildings in Fort Wayne, one upon the first lot west of Morgan & Beach's hardware, the other now owned and occupied by John Schweiers. They also furnished the brick and built the first courthouse, and then the first Masonic temple on the site now occupied by Sol Bash & Co. They also aided in the construction of the feeder division of the canal and the feeder dam.
Judge Archer was of Scotch-Irish descent, of the Protestant faith, a Whig in politics, of intellectual and moral sturdiness, and many mourned his death when he died at Fort Wayne in 1833. The Masons, to which he belonged, buried him in the grave yard where the county jail now stands. His remains and those of his wife, who was a native of the Carolinas, and some of his grandchildren were afterward removed to the Broadway cemetery, but now nothing remains to mark their resting place.
Of the few now living who attended that funeral is Peter Kiser, and another, Judge Archer's son-in-law, Edward Campbell, who lives at Albion, Noble county and is now about ninety years of age. Judge Archer left three sons, David, John S. and Benjamin Jr., and three daughters, Susan, Elizabeth, and Sarah.
John S. was a brother-in-law of the Hon. Hugh Hanna, and left one son James Wesley M. Archer, who married Catherine King, of a family which recently left a valuable estate in the center of the city. They had three sons and one daughter now the wife of C. E. Archer. Benjamin Archer Jr., married a Miss Petit. David the eldest son married Anna Chrisenbury, a native of Kentucky, and his eldest son, Samuel, married Matilda Whiteside.
These were the parents of John H. Archer, now a prominent citizen of Fort Wayne.
The Whiteside family were notable in the early
days, the family came from Ireland to Virginia before the war of the Revolution, during which the grandfather of Matilda Whiteside made clothing for Washington's men and received a great quantity of continental money in return, which he afterward burned as worthless!
P. 255 Municipal and Federal
The incorporation of Fort Wayne as a town, dates from September 3, 1829, when an
election was held and it was certified to the board of county commissioners, by William N. Hood, president of the meeting, and John P. Hedges, clerk, at a majority of two-thirds of the persons present favored the plan.
Accordingly, on the 14th of the same month, at the house of Abner Gerard, esq., the first town election was held, which Benjamin Archer, president of said election, and John P. Hedges, clerk, certified as resulting in the choice of Hugh Hanna, John S. Archer, William G. Ewing, Lewis G. Thompson and John P. Hedges, as trustees for one year.
The town government differed little from that of other young places. The town funds were meager; of public buildings none warranting the name. The streets were not improved and were of the muddy and impassable character of the ordinary county road. The needs of the thrifty town soon outgrew the usefulness of the this primitive method of government and the subject of a city charter and the corporate powers it should contain were matters of frequent and earnest discussion.
P. 447 Bench and Bar
The seventh term of the court was held at the residence of Benjamin Archer, commencing on the 12th day of May, 1828, associate judges, Hood and Cushman, presiding, the president judge being absent. At that term Charles H. Test was sworn as prosecuting attorney for the term. The prosecutor for the circuit being absent.

Judge Benjamin Archer
Deserves Honorable Mention Among the Old Pioneers.
Judge Benjamin Archer was the founder of the many families living in this vicinity, and bearing that name, and one of the three first circuit court judges in this district. He came to this place with his family, consisting of three sons and three daughters, just thirty years after the old fort was christened Fort Wayne. He also built the first steam mill in northern Indiana, perhaps the first one within the state. The boiler and engine were transported from Dayton, Ohio, through the wilderness by the way of Troy, Piqua and Winchester, on wagon drawn by oxen. The mill was located on the St. Joseph river, two and one-half miles northeast of the town, and was burned down a few years later. Many of the old settlers will remember the mill.
NEWSPAPER: 11 Jan 1914 (from Brian Smead, Archer myfamily.com, doesn't say which paper )
Washington, being one of the four townships forming the square within which Fort Wayne is located, was early settled, several families locating, there in the year 1825. One of these was the Archer family, Benjamin Archer and his sons: David, John S. and Benjamin Archer jr., and also Mrs. Thomas Hatfield, Mrs. Alexander Ballard and Mrs. Edward Campbell. During the same year Andrew J. Moore and Adam Petit also settled in the township. Most of these parties settled in what is now Bloomingdale.

Info I have shows Johannes Chronister b. 24 Oct 1753 in Huntington Township, York co. PA to JOHANNES
AND MARIA BARBARA (WEIDENBACH) Chronister. He married about 1779 to a Anna Elizabeth and had
Maria, Jacob, Johannes, Elizabeth, Abraham, Catherine, Barbara, Moses, Heinrich and George. Johannes b, 1753
died 25 may 1835 in Adams Co. Does any of this look promising? Ed Morrill
What township are the Warstlers in. What are some of the variations on the spelling of the name Warstler? Is one
Wisler. There's a Henry in Huntington Twp in the 1762 York co. Taxes
