But few events of importance to the township occurred in 1807. Men who had made beginnings at an earlier date were enlarging the area of their cleared lands, erecting buildings and making improvements. John S. Haskell, one of the most prominent of the early settlers, built a small house and barn this year, and was married and commenced housekeeping. Jeremiah Flanders from Hopkinton, N. H., whose visits to the township in 1804 and 1805 have been noted, purchased lot eleven, range six, this year and made a beginning on it He built a log camp close by the brook near where William Jones now lives and occupied it while preparing for a future home. William Dustin moved into the township this year and lived in the log house upon the lot he had purchased a year earlier of Philip Greeley.
