Description
Record Book of Berkshire Township No. 2 1807-1843 is the record book of the settlement that has become known as Berkshire Corners, located at the intersection of what is now St. Rt. 37 and Galena Rd. The book is a record of some of the settlers' activities such as the election of township officers and the establishment of boundaries for school districts. In addition to providing insight into the social aspects of the settlement, the book includes the names of many of the township's inhabitants, account statements, and a list of the earmarks each man used to distinguish his own cattle from other's held in a common pen.
