GEORGE WASHINGTON DOTY. History of Morrow County page 894-5. George Washington Doty, brother of the last two above named, enlisted June 2, 1862, at Ashley, Ohio, and was mustered into sevice to take effect the same day as a private of Company C, 85th Ohio Infantry Volunteers, to serve three months. He was appointed sergeant June 11, 1862, and was mustered out with the company as sergeant September 23, 1862. He again enlisted October 16, 1862, at Camp Chase, Ohio, and October 28, 1862, was mustered into service as a corporal of Company C, 88th Ohio Infantry Volunteers, to serve three years. He was appointed sergeant in August 1863, and was mustered out as a sergeant February 4, 1864, at Columbus, Ohio, by reason of appointment as second lieutenant, 27th United States Colored Troops. June 5, 1864 he was promoted to first lieutenant of Company G of that regiment. He was discharged from the service as a first lieutenant on tender of resignation accompanied with a surgeon's certificate of disability, in order from the War Department dated April 20, 1865. His aggregate term of service was two years, nine months and thirteen days.

The first church erected in the township was a log structure on the land of Reuben Benedict, and used for the double purpose of a church and a schoolhouse. The place where it stood has been appropriately marked by G. W. Doty, with a monument of stones. The monument consists of bowlders piled together in the form of a cone, and surmounted by a stone with an appropriate inscription, giving dates of the time of its erection and its demolition. Mr. Doty, by his own individual efforts, thus sought to perpetuate the memory of this primitive evidence, that a Christian people had arrived to subdue the wilderness, and introduce a higher mode of life to the observation of the red man, and a more tangible mode of worshiping the Great Spirit in making even these early and rude preparations to worship God, true to the instincts of innate Christianity. This building reared of logs, was to be a rallying-ground., a point at which to gather and enjoy Christian fellowship with each other, none daring to molest or make afraid.

Israel Buck was a carpenter. Israel and Phebe moved to New York state where he died. In 1812, she moved to Ohio with her children and settled on the west side of the creek, one half mile south of Woodbury; the land afterwards was owned by G.W. Doty. She was a Friend; died Sept 15, 1823, aged 61 years.

The organization of the township of Lincoln in 1828, was mainly due to the efforts of Collins Buck, Steiner and Shadrack Hubbell. The first election was held on the first Monday in April, 1828, at Hubbell's cabin. It resulted in the election of Edmund Buck as justice of the peace, and as there were but seventeen men to fill twenty-four positions each of the voters present was elected to one or more offices.
In 1818, Alexander Edgar came to Peru and put up a store and distillery. This was then the nearest store, and absorbed the greater part of the trade of Lincoln trade until the business at Chesterville and Cardington divided it. The nearness of these places of business and the lack of any good water power in the township had the effect of discouraging the undertaking of similar enterprises in Lincoln. A saw mill was built very early on Edmund Buck's place, near one of the branches of Alum creek, by Shadrack Hubbell. This afterwards passed into the hands of Mr. Buck, and later into the possession of Stephen Doty, Jr. In 1830, after Stephen Doty, Sr.. bought the Collins Buck place, his son, Geo. W., built a small saw mill on the stream as it passes through that property. A tannery was early established on the Pulton farm by Stephen Corwin, which supplied the neighborhood material for shore, clothing and harnesses. About 1850 Thomas Roby establish another tannery on the Ashbrook farm but it did not prove a permanent affair.




Wash Doty was a musican or vocalist and area Historian. He had several businesses with his brother John.
