A detailed historical sketch by Dr. J. T. Oliphant traces early Curry township settlers, notably the Pound and Liston families, their migration from New Jersey and Maryland to Vincennes and Middletown, and their roles as scouts, soldiers, and church founders. It covers frontier life, mills, schools, religion, malaria, and a rich tale of pioneer hardship and community building.
