Taken from the Tecumseh Herald March 25, 1875, page 3, Ridgeway news, extracted by Dorothy Lee for the Lenawee County Family Researchers newsletter. Used by permission.

A party of eight persons from Ridgeway and Macon, consisting of George D. Williamson, George Nettleton, John Corey, Lester Wilkins, Charles H. Hoagland, John Wiggins, Myron H. Van Ness and William McAlister started for Alabama this week to look for land and will probably settle there. We hope to hear from them soon.
