Note | Madison Township
Bicentennial Sketches, (1799-1999) by George C. Crout
Madison Township Communities, Trenton
Although no longer an official part of Madison Township, Trenton
began as a small village in the township, annexing township land as
it grew into a city. The history of Trenton can be found in two
excellent books: "Trenton, Ohio, 1816-1966" by Edward J. Keefe and
"Trenton People, Trenton Places, 175 Years" by Doris L. Page, et. al.
Therefore, only a brief sketch is included here with readers being
referred to the definitive histories just noted.
On Feb. 13, 1971 --Congressman Walter Powell of the 24th
Congressional District at 10:45 a.m. read the official proclamation
issued by Ted Brown, Secretary of the State of Ohio, which made
Trenton, Butler County's newest city. After performing this official
act, Powell looked up amid the glare of cameras and announced to the
citizens of Trenton assembled at the Municipal Building, "You are now
a city." After 155 years, Trenton had reached city status, as
indicated by the final figures of the 1970 Census, which showed it to
have a population of 5,278.
State Representative David Armbruster presented the new city with
its first official Ohio flag, and Congressman Powell gave the new
city a U.S. flag which had flown over the Capitol Building.
A congratulatory telegram from the Mayor of Trenton, New Jersey
was read by congressman Powell. He noted that there are nine Trentons
in the U.S.A. Trenton, New Jersey remains the largest. It is no
coincidence- -the name of Trenton. The early settlers of the
community, headed by Deacon Michael Pearce and Elder Stephen Gard,
were from New Jersey.
The original Trenton, Congressman Powell recalled in his address,
was named in honor of William Trent, who in 1714 purchased 800 acres
of land, on part of which he laid out a settlement called Trent's
Town, later shortened to Trenton. Trent House still stands in
Trenton, N.J. During the Revolutionary War, Trenton won its place in
the history books.
County Commissioner, Bill Donham was on hand to see Trenton become
Butler's fifth city, joining its sisters- Hamilton, Middletown,
Fairfield and Oxford. However, the village was first called
Bloomfield, in honor of a Governor of New Jersey, whom the pioneers
wished to honor. But when a post office was proposed for the thriving
village, it was found that there was already listed a Bloomfield,
Ohio. The citizens were told that they would have to pick another
town name. Not wishing to sever sentimental ties to New Jersey, they
decided to change the name to Trenton, after their former capital
city. The Ohio General Assembly approved this change, Dec. 16, 1820.
On Feb. 27, 1816, Michael Pearce and David Enyeart filed the plat
for Bloomfield, which covered sections of both their land. Enyeart
had first settled in Princeton, moving to Middletown in 1815, where
he continued to live. However, Pearce had settled in what would be
Trenton. In 1801, Pearce had begun the erection of a 3-story house on
the southeast corner of State Street, now Ohio 73, and Main Street.
The founder's home was to stand until 1957 when, after a fire, it
was demolished to make way for a service station. From 1873 to 1925,
it was the Bernhart Blust home, and after he had done some
remodeling, was known locally as Blust's Castle. After the service
station closed, the city of Trenton in 1995 made plans to purchase
the land, demolish the building, and create Pioneer Park honoring the
city's founder. The park was located on land where the city's
founder, Michael Pearce erected the town's first house. Founder's
Park planned more as a visual one than a functional one. It is
adjacent to a five-way intersection, with part of the land being used
as a street relocation project to improve traffic flow. The community
contributed to its construction.
Although those interested in Trenton's past spearheaded the
Sesquicentennial celebration in 1966, it was not until October 1971
that the Trenton Historical Society officially came into being. Since
then it has established a museum, compiled the plat and record of
burials in the 1802 Pioneer Cemetery of the Elk Creek Baptist Church,
and installed historic signs there. It has also placed signs at the
city limits marking Trenton as the home of Squire Littell, M.D., the
first resident doctor in Butler County. It buried a permanent brass
marker denoting the junction of four sections of land at Miami and
State streets.

!PARENTS-SPOUSE: History of Warren Co. OH, page 976. A mention of the
VanPelt Family includes: "Martha (DRAKE) Dodds...born in Middlesex
County, NJ in 1786...came to Ohio with her mother Mary (SUTTON)
DRAKE; she was married to a Mr. VAN PELT, and a son of this union
married Thomas Corwin's sister." !A mention of an Alexander VAN PELT
is listed in the Warren Co. Tax Records of 1803, page 277. He is
listed again in 1810. His residence is listed both times as Turtle
Creek Twp
-------------
From the history of Noble Twp, Shelby Co, IN:
Alexander VanPelt entered his land at the first sales in
Brookville in October, 1820. The following spring, he brought his
family from Warren Co, Ohio, and settled at the mouth of Cam's Creek
[Conn's Ck-plf]. He was from the start, and for many years, a
prominent man. His father had been a soldier in the Revolutionary
war, and lost his life in the battle of Long Island. He himself had
been in the Indian wars of 1812, under Gen. William Henry Harrison.
His first wife was the oldest sister of the celebrated statesman,
Thomas Corwin, of Ohio. He always took a deep interest in public
affairs, and was one of the first County Commissioners and Justices
of the Peace. He was born April 24, 1773, and died in 1849. His
sons, Matthias, Sutton, Halleck, Harvey and Squier L., became leading
citizens.
The late William Major, father of Squier Major, our present County
Superintendent of Public Instruction, settled here in 1830, and was
to the day of his death, in 1877, a man that commanded univeral
respect and confidence. he was born December 24, 1807, in County
Longford, Ireland; was married to Eliza, daughter of Alexander
VanPelt, July 8, 1836; elected Justice of the Peace in 1837; served
in that office sixteen years, was Township Trustee a number of times,
and was a member of the State Legislature three times --- in 1847,
1852 and in 1856.
-----------------------------
From the History of Warren Co, OH., Page 277
Several indictments for assault and battery, and one or two for
affray, were found. No cases, either civil or criminal, seem to have
been tried until the next term, which convened on the third Tuesday
of December, 1803, when two cases, one civil and one criminal, were
tried. In the criminal case, the defendant was found guilty of
assault and battery. In the civil case, the plaintiff was a woman,
and gained her case. There were seven cases on the civil docket, six
of which were dismissed or continued. At this time, Joshua Collett
was the only attorney residing in Lebanon. His name appears as
attorney for the defendant in the only civil case which was tried.
The names of Jacob Burnet and Arthur St. Clair, attorneys from
Cincinnati, also appear in the records of the proceedings at this
term. The following are the names of jurors impaneled at this term,
constituting the first petit jury of the county: Ichabod Corwin,
James Stewart, James Caldwell, James Bartlett, John Dennis, Francis
Bedle, Thomas Lucas, Alexander Van Pelt, Samuel Manning, John Osborn,
Peter Sellers and Cornelius Vorhees. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
