The returns of the November or Presidential election of 1840 cannot be found in the clerk's office, and were probably never filed, as they are not to be found in the late history of the county. There are no records showing the number of votes cast for William Henry Harrison in Van Wert county In 1840, but the probability is he received as many or more than did the celebrated Tom Corwin.Below will be found the names of allwho voted, by townships:WXLL83IIKE TOWNSHIP.An set Blossom, A lexander Mo re head,Jacob M.
