Old settlers list rules and meeting crowd turmoil

The text describes how lists must name old settlers with nativity, settlement date, post office, and death or removal dates, to be filed with the Recording Secretary and returned to townships for corrections. It notes open access to lists and recounts crowd unrest after a courthouse gathering, where refunds and heated exchanges occurred as old settlers objected to the call’s terms.
