....1837...Dubuque.Co divided into: Dubuque, Delaware, Clayton, Fayette, Buchanan, Jackson, Jones, Linn, Clinton, Benton, Cedar.
....1837about, (so said Samuel Connor) Chauncey S. Edson (1841Nov, entered 40a, NE1/4 of SE1/4 and 80a, S1/2 of NE1/4, and 40a, SE1/4 of SE1/4 in Sec 26, Giard.Twp, Clayton.Co.IA, T95N, R4W) & Wm. Grant came from Clayton.Co to the east, with workmen and started building a sawmill on Otter Creek near its junction with the Turkey River.
.....NOTE: Chauncey S. Edson was in Giard.Twp, at the same time and 1+mi east of Allen Wanzer, who would escort Samuel Conner and the men from Green.Co.WI to the Elgin area in 1848. One can assume Edson and Wanzer worked and Indian traded together in the Neutral Ground.
....The Indian agents out of Ft. Atkinson advised they were on Indian reservation land (The Neutral Ground), and they would have to decamp, which they did, leaving timber on the river banks and the dam completed half way across a mill run.
....The Indians set fire to the dam and shanty, destroying the first civil work done in Fayette.Co.IA.
....1837-1850...Fayette.Co was attached to Clayton.Co for judicial revenue & election purposes.

Trappers and traders were moving along the streams, traveling into the Neutral Ground before 1848.
Allen E. Wanzel traded along the Turkey River from Clayton.Co into the Sac Bottoms area (Elgin),
and would have been aware or involved in the early mill attempt at the mouth of Otter.Creek.

...1848...The first settler coming into Pleasant Valley Twp was A. Randsdell/Randsdall. The township was initially settled mainly by Norwegians and Germans; a little later immigrants from Switzerland. Elgin would become a main village/commercial area with settlement around the milling operations.

....1848...Samuel Conner stated when he first came to Fayette.Co.IA, in 1848.....in the area referred to as 'Sac Bottoms' (to be Elgin), there were thousands of shallow Indian burials.

....1848Spring, Samuel Conner,in the company of Thomas Smith, Simeon B. Forbes, and Jacob Ashby, hearing the Neutral Zone and Reservation in NE Iowa had opened to whites, Samuel having lost his wife, started to Iowa from Richland.Twp, Green.Co.WI, to explore for land/settlement.

....Meantime, Allen E. Wanzer (descendant tree below) living in Clayton.Co.IA had made claim at the mouth of Otter Creek, including Sec14, P.Val.Twp. A.E. Wanzer sent Wm. McElwee to watch over his claim on the Otter (claims were 'marked' land and not legally owned/recorded).
....Upon reaching the Wanzer home and hospitality in Clayton.Co.IA, the Connor, Smith, Forbes, Ashby group, asked about settling in Iowa. Wanzer proposed to accompany and show them his claim on Sac Bottoms.
....Samuel Conner immediately bought (Spring1848) the Wanzer claim in Sec 14, P.Val.Twp, Fay.Co.IA, and returned back to Green.Co.WI for his effects.
....Simeon B. Forbes claim was in Sec15, west of Samuel Conner.
....Thomas Smith made a claim in West.Union.Twp (likely returned to formerly enter land adj. & near Elgin).
....Jacob Ashby in Clayton.Co.IA (east of Elgin, west of Elkader in Boardman.Twp, on ridge road).
.........Forbes, Smith, Ashby descendant trees, farther down page.
....1848July06>Aug...Samuel Connor returned to the NE1/4 of SE1/4, Sec 14, P.Val.Twp, and with Simeon B. Forbes erected a log home, where Elgin was afterward laid out, the first home in the township.
....1848July... Samuel Connor & Simeon Forbes broke (plowed) virgin prairie in Sec 22.
....1848/49 winter...Samuel Connor cut & skidded timber for a sawmill near the mouth of Otter Creek.
......Note: Samuel Conner legally entered his claim1849Nov26, 76a, in NE1/4 of SE1/4 of Sec 14.

Allen E. Wanzer, early 'character' of Clayton.Co.IA
Indian trader, explorer, moonshiner, gambler, merchant, hotel keeper, politician,
marked a land claim in the Neutral Ground, at the mouth of Otter Creek (Elgin).
Samuel Conner would take over Wanzer's claim 1848Spring (the beginning of Elgin).

(These are edited excerpts with content basically left intact)
...1848Spring...In the Spring of 1848, Samuel Conner, Simeon Forbes, Jacob Ashby, Thomas Smith left Richland.Twp, Green.Co.WI, and came to Iowa looking for land. When reaching Clayton.Co, they met Allen E. Wanzer, who was then living on the Turkey (SW corner of Wagner.Twp, about 10mi downstream of Sac Bottoms/Elgin). Wanzler gave the men a very glowing description of the Turkey River country to the west. He told them of an abundance of fine timeber, very rich, fertile bottom eland, water in abundance and the finest prairie land westward. The kind of place these homeseekers were looking for.
......Wanzer said he would go with them (to Sac Bottoms) and they could see for themselves. They accepted and set out on their trip of exploration. Wanzer told them some pretty big stories. One is inclined to think he was given to boasting even within the bounds of truth. He told them he had lived in that region a long time (Sac Bottoms/Elgin). One of his tales was he had dug out the river channel for the Turkey River to run in. The men were somewhat surprised at this as the river had a very deep channel. They told him it was a little strange he did not dig the river channel straigher as in many places it was extremely crooked. He admitted it was a mistake and if doing it over would rectify it.
......Wanzer and the Green.Co. men traveled together until they came to Otter Creek (in Fayette.Co), where Samuel Conner took up land in Sec 14 (the claim Wanzer had marked pre1848), Forbes in Sec 28, P.Val.Twp.

Finally arrangements were made and they started out together until they came into Winnesheik.Co.IA where some stopped/remained.
...1849Jun01...Joseph Forbes arrived at Sac Bottoms (Elgin). He left the WI group to join his brother and two sisters already in Fayette.Co. He came with 4 wagons drawn by 10 yoke of oxen (20 head), with household goods and a lot of farming machinery. James Stevenson with a large family , who worked a farm for Forbes in WI, came along to help drive the oxen and about 40 head of young cattle. Joseph bought a claim in Sec 23 for $100.

Joseph Forbes had a brother & 2 sisters already in P.Val.Twp so joined them, pushing on with his extensive outfit of four wagons pulled by 10 yoke (20) of oxen, bring household goods and farming machinery, plus drove about 40 head of cattle.

The people are ready for the the cars, but are they ready to pay their RR tax. We notice that the RR runs very lovingly near Dimond & Conner & Co.'s Mills; we presume that it come thus near out of the purest love and affection for the firm of Dimond & Connor & Co.; but if we are correctly informed they do not reciprocate very-lovingly.

A few miles up Otter Creek was the ancient town, known by old settlers as 'Tinker Town' but now there is nothing to see, there is nothing left but the name.

.....Note: A small subdivision is in the locality, thus contractors may have dozed the site.
.....It is not known if anyone from the Fay.Co. Pioneer Cem vol's have searched for the site as of 2020/bz.
.....Likely many of the burials were removed to the Elgin Cem. when it opened in the 1870s.
.....One can assume there were other 'lost' early burials (~1849>1870s) on Forbes' Hill and in unknown family burial grounds.

...1906May24, Elgin.IA paper...Preparations for Memorial Day: Veterans Buried on Forbes' Hill, Charles Grant & James Conner of Co F, 3rd IA Inf, and 5th Serg't William H. Whiting of Co H, 38th IA Inf.
.....All three veterans are listed as buried in the Elgin.IA Cem, Sec 0N, Lot 144, however, that is unlikely. In 1936, application was made and filled for a Veteran's Marker for William H. Whiting buried in an abandoned cemetery (i.e. Forbes' Hill). The military marker was erected and is standing in the Elgin Cem, as in a military marker for Charles Grant. There is no indication the three Civil War vets were removed from Forbes' Hill, still an abandoned and lost pioneer cemetery, bz/2009&2020.
