  Notes	(1) History of Monroe County, Ohio, Chicago, IL and Toledo OH: H. H. Hardesty & Co., 1882, p. 216: MALAGA TOWNSHIP This township was organized December 15, 1820, and contains 30¾ acres — 8 sections in original surveyed township 5, of range 5, and 22¾ in township 6. It is bounded on the north by the Belmont county line, on the east by Sunbury township, on the south by Certre and Summit, and on the west by Seneca. The western portion of the township is drained by the various tributaries of Will's creek, and the eastern part by Baker's and Grassy forks of Sunfish. It is, for the most part on the high, broad ridge which, beginning in Summit township on the south, extends north through Malaga into Belmont county. Much of the land is smooth, and well adapted to wheat and fruit culture, and many of the farms are well cultivated. Professor Andrews says: "Traces of thin seams of coal were found in going from Miltonsburg to Calais. Traces of similar seams were seen on the road from Miltonsburg to the deep valley of Sunfish creek, in Centre township, which at Ford's mill is about 300 feet below Miltonsburg. They were nowhere opened, and probably are too thin to be worked, except in a small way for neighborhood use, by the crude method of stripping. They are all high in the geological series and nowhere are they found to be of much practical value. Some limestone strata were seen, which aid much in fertilizing the soil." About the year 1815, possibly sooner, the first settlements began to be made by John Hendershot, Stillwell Truex, Matthew Rogers, Martin Fogle, Frederick Hays, Wm. Kennard, Peter Mann, David Lupton, David Mann and James Graham. John Hendershot built a cabin — believed to be the first — about 1815, or sooner. A child of Mr. and Mrs. John Mitchem is said to have been the first born in the township. The first election was held, in 1820, at the house of Peter Mann, in the town of Malaga, which was laid out in 1818, by John Hendershot. Twenty-two votes were cast at the first election, and among the voters were John Hendershot, Peter Mann, Wm. Kennard, Isaac Beardmore, Matthew Rogers, David Lupton, David Mann, Stilwell Truex, James Graham, Wm. Lawrence, Stephen Sloan, Henry Crum, David Sampson, John Strahl, Jonathan Hendershot, Andrew Love and George Kinney. The names of the first township officers were: Stephen Sloan, Henry Crum and David Sampson, trustees; Johnathan Hendershot, clerk; John Strahl, treasurer; George Kinney, constable; and Andrew Love, justice of the peace.
