The Legislature, by act of February 10, 1821, created the "Courts of
Probate" in the several counties. Previous to this time, the
Circuit Courts granted letters testamentary and of administration, and
performed other duties of a probate nature. In accordance with
this law an election was held in Wayne County, and
Samuel Leech
was elected Probate Judge. The first court convened at the house
of
Samuel Leech, in Fairfield, on the 2d day of July,
1821.
Samuel Leech was then Circuit and County Clerk and
Probate Judge.
The first business in this court was the application to the Clerk, on
the 10th day January, 1821, of
Ann Slocumb for letters of
administration upon the estate of
Samuel Slocumb,
deceased. She gave bond in the sum of $300, with
Rigdon B.
Slocumb and
Ephraham Meritt as sureties. This was the
total of the business of the first term of this court.
At the next term of the Probate Court, December 18, 1821, the only
business transacted was the proof of the death of
Joseph Martin,
and the fact that
his wife Betsey had relinquished her prior
right to administer on the estate, whereupon
Owen Martin, Henry
Martin, and Joseph Martin came into court and applied for letters
of administration, which was granted upon their entering into bond with
James Baird, Alexander Jones, John Barnhill and Rigdon B. Slocumb,
securities, in the penal sum of $11,000.
Thomas Bradshaw,
John B. Gash and James Baird were appointed appraisers. These
two cases were all the business in the Probate Court until the term of
June 17, 1822, when
Sarah McWhirter, administratrix of the
estate of
Isaac McWhirter, proceeded to make settlement with
claimants against said estate.
On the 18th of November, 1822,
Hugh Stuart, John Livergood and

Owen Martin, William B. Daws and Robert
R. Gaston as sureties.
On the 26th of December, 1822,
Ann Bradshaw was granted letters
upon estate of
her husband, Thomas Bradshaw. Bond,
$2,000. Her securities were

Hugh Stewart and
John Livergood returned inventory into court of the estate of
William
Warren, deceased. The infant heirs of
Joseph Martin,
deceased, were

Judge Leech continued to act as Probate Judge, County Clerk,
Circuit Clerk, and Recorder, as well as Colonel of the Wayne County
Militia Regiment from the formation of the county until the early part
of 1837. He then resigned the office of Circuit Clerk, and here,
as well as in nearly all his other official positions, he was succeeded
by
Judge Rigdon B. Slocumb. At a court held in Fairfield,
March, 1837, by
Judge Harlan, the following is the opening
entry upon the records: "I,
Justin Harlan, sole Judge of
the Fourth Judicial Circuit, do hereby appoint
Rigdon B. Slocumb
Clerk of the Circuit Court in and for the county of Wayne, etc."
On the 26th of July, 1826,

in the town of Fairfield. Their stock on hand invoiced
$1,508.52-1/2.

Census of 1845 shows a total population of 6,497; of these, 1,090

Literary Society.---As early as 1823, the leading citizens of the
county met and organized a debating and literary society.
Articles were drawn and signed by
John McMakin, A. W. Sorgenfry, J.
T. Hefford, George and Richard Grant, A. C. McKay, Elihu Farley, John
Carson, R. B. Slocumb, Jeffrey Robinson, Andrew Carson, Cephas A.
Parks, George Turner, John Johnston, J. R. Taylor, Samuel Leech,
Alexander Campbell, and
John Barnhill.
C. A. Parks was appointed President;
Samuel Leech,
Secretary.
An excellent constitution was adopted, among other things providing
that nothing said by any speaker should be considered his personal
sentiments.
The first question, "Is there more pleasure in the pursuit of an object
or actual possession?" Discussed with great ability and learning
for possession by
John Barnhill, George Grant, George Turner, Elihu
Farley, Joseph T. Hefford and
Samuel Leech. On the
negative,
Enoch Wilcox, John McMackin and
Andrew Carson.
The records say: "The President, after mature deliberation, gave
the following decision: That the most forcible argument was used
in favor of possession."
The second question discussed was: "Are ideas natural or
acquired?" This must have been an exciting debate, and it never
seems to have been imagined by any of the learned disputants that,
generally speaking, ideas are neither natural nor acquired, but to the
most of men the Sheriff's return of
non est inventus would
apply, and, in fact, the improved returns of the Sheriff when he said,
"in swampum, and none could not come at him," would not be much out of
place.
The third question was unique in phraseology, as follows: "Does a
man possessed of
extreme wealth, or one moving in a
middling
sphere in life, enjoy the most real happiness." The next question
was a stunner in the following: "Which are the most happy, a
married or single life?" Then, "Which is the greatest benefit to
society, a penitentiary or a gallows?" It was warmly argued, and
aroused a deep and thrilling interest. These people were inclined
to be luxurious and ease-loving. The elderly members said there
was more solid comfort in the rope, while the younger and more hopeful
members thought the ball and chain the more durable of the two.
The society amended the constitution and provided a fine of 50 cents
against any member who might be appointed to any duty and failed, and
the record of nearly every meeting has entries against members for
absence, etc., etc.
Weekly meetings continued until October, 1823, and then after a big
discussion meetings were abandoned for two years, when, pursuant to a
public notice by
Sam Leech, Secretary, the society again met,
and it was unanimously agreed that the Fairfield Debating Society be
"organized and commence operations immediately." The society
resolved to take up where it had left off the great question, "Which
are
the most benefit to society, a penitentiary or a gallows?" and it was
resolved to discuss this at the next meeting. Of this meeting, we
find the following entry on the record: "
Dr. C. A. Parks, A.
C. Mackay, W. F. Turney, James B. Brown and
F. C. Turner
spoke in favor of the penitentiary, and
Samuel Leech, R. B.
Slocumb, Jeffrey Robinson, John Barnhill, George Turner and
John Wood in favor of the gallows; and the President (
Andrew
Carson), "after due deliberation," decided that the most forcible
argument was used in favor of the gallows, and, therefore, that the
gallows is the most benefit to society, from which said decision
Dr.
C. A. Parks prayed an appeal, which was granted. "It is,
therefore, ordered that said question be again debated at the next
regular meeting of the society." The excitement continued to
increase, and men and women took sides, and in the houses and upon the
loafers' corner it was from morn till night gallows and penitentiary
and penitentiary and gallows, and when the society met the disputants
were "freighted to the water's edge" with the subject. But again
was the gallows triumphant, and only thus and thus, after nearly three
years of discussion and hot contention was the great question
permanently settled. The society then turned to the more peaceful
and quieting question of "Which
are the most benefit to
community, commerce or agriculture?" This was decided in favor of
agriculture. Then they tackled the following: "Which is and
has been the most advantage to the United States, gunpowder or
printing?" In reference to this discussion, we find the
following: "The President, after mature deliberation, decided in
favor of gunpowder as of more use to the United States than the press."
The society moved along in their weekly meetings, and, in 1827, the
great question of the comparative benefits of the penitentiary or
gallows was revived, and finally the old decision in favor of the
gallows was reversed, and the penitentiary was decided to be the
greater blessing of the two.
The Debating Club seems to have kept actively alive, and the people
showed much interest in all its acts and doings.
On the 7th day of November, 1837, the town of Fairfield had a Library
Room, and on that day a meeting was called, and the Fairfield Library
Society was organized.
Joseph Wilson was appointed
President, and
T. A. Wood, Secretary.
A committee of three,
Jacob H. Love, R. B. Slocumb and
T.
A. Wood were appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws for the
society. Their report was adopted, and
Jeffrey Robinson
was appointed Secretary.
At the first regular meeting, the record says
William F. Turney
"delivered an able and eloquent lecture on the subject of the Fairfield
Literary Society." The record then recites "the following
subjects were assigned to the following members, to speak from in
turn:
Daniel Turney, Agriculture;
J. Robinson,
Mathematics and Geography;
J. H. Robinson, the Propriety of
Correct Language in Speaking;
T. A. Wood, the Utility of Common
Schools and Education;
C. J. Ridgeway, Commerce;
N. N. Smith,
History;
William F. Turney, Anatomy;
J. A. Robinson,
G.
T. Snodgrass and
J. G. Stuart were named as lecturers, but
their subjects are not given. Then we find
J. H. Robinson
assigned to a lecture on the Inconsistency of Negro Slavery; and
D.
Turney, on Agriculture, a second time;
T. A. Wood lectured
on the Utility and Advantages of a Railroad from Mount Carmel, via
Fairfield to St. Louis;
N. N. Smith, history, second time;
W.
F. Turney, anatomy, second time;
Joseph Wilson, on the
Truths and Evidences of Christianity, continued;
James A. Robinson,
on the Inconsistency of Negro Slavery, continued;
Leander Turney,
Education.
We find pasted in the front part of the record book a letter dated
"Lebanon, Ill., February 24, 1836," and addressed
W. F. Turney
and
Thomas A. Wood, committee in behalf of the Fairfield
Library Society. The letter is signed by
B. F. Kavanaugh.
The letter is written on foolscap paper, folded without envelope, and
is sealed with an old-style red wafer, that we used to get in those
round, wood boxes, that always had a wafer stuck on the top of the
box. The postage on this letter was 25 cents. It seems to
have been written by
Mr. Kavanaugh, in response to an
invitation to deliver an address before the literary society. We
give a paragraph from the letter that will go far to explain its
purport: "Then, sirs, permit me to congratulate you in the
successful efforts which have been made by yourselves and those with
whom you have the honor to be associated in the organization of a
society which has for its objects the expansion and illumination of the
immortal mind. * * * * * Take for
example Herskill, who was once a common soldier under the British
banner, who, while standing sentinel at night, had the large powers of
his giant mind wakened into action, while he gazed upon the heavens,
and ere its labors were concluded, the science of astronomy was
extended, and the learned were informed of the existence of a large
worlds connected with the sun, of which ours is a member. And
while the great planet, which now bears his name, shall wheel in his
course, in distant space around the sun, the name of 'Herskill' wil be
carried down the tide of time, till the heavenly messenger announces
that 'time shall be no more.' And who shall say his praise shall
cease with time?"
In a further examination of the records we find the Debating Society by
resolution were admitted as spectators to the Literary Society. A
library had been established, and at the meeting of the literary
society, January 23, 1836, a resolution was passed in which it was
resolved that each member of the society "in order to promote the
general diffusion of knowledge be requested to use his influence to
obtain new members to the Fairfield Library."
The moral tinge that prevailed in those literary works is made evident
by the following resolution, passed at a regular meeting of February 6,
1836. "On motion agreed that this society will read Dr. Blair's
lectures through at their subsequent meetings, each member to read a
suitable number of pages at each meeting to take it in turn as they
speak, and on motion agreed that
Dr. William F. Turney read the
first evening, which he proceeded to do.
>From an old file of the
