By reference to another part of this book, the specific history of the organization and boundary of Jasper Township will be found. Therefore, we shall begin with the original settlement, and trace its history through all its transitions from the first log cabin in the woods, to its present flourishing condition, with its system of drainage, excellent schools and splendid turnpikes.
The first settlement of this territory took place in 1809. In the spring of this year, Jacob and Joseph Coile emigrated from Pendleton County, Virginia, and located on a military claim, consisting of two thousand acres, belonging to their father, Gabriel Coile, who was a revolutionary soldier. Both Jacob and Joseph were married before leaving Virginia; the former married a Miss Cullop, and the latter Sophia Roof. In 1814, both families removed to Indiana, near Indianapolis.
