----Milo Morgan was the first permanent settler in Lincoln township. In Dec 1851, Mr Morgan, in company of his brother-in-law, John Hillman, came west from Iowa City to look for land. They got as far as the east line of Poweshiek County and then returned to the land office in Iowa City where they entered one hundred and sixty acres. Three forty acre tracts of this entry were in Iowa County and one forty acre tract in section 25, Lincoln township, Poweshiek County. In the spring of 1852 they came to the land which they had previously entered and broke prairie, a few acres being in Poweshiek County. Leaving their possessions and the cabin they had built, they went east during the summer. In Nov both returned, Mr Hillman bringing his family. Mr Morgan lived with his brother-in-law. Late in the fall of 1852 & 1853 he split rails, in the timber east of Brooklyn for Thomas Gwin, to get corn to feed his oxen.
