The records of the County Pioneer Society contain the following items of interest regarding some of the settlers of the township of Leslie: Jacob Armstrong, a native of Charlestown, Montgomery Co., N. Y., removed to Michigan in the fall of 1837m arriving at Detroit September 3d. Mr. Armstrong relates his experiences as follows: "I hired a man and team to transport my goods; arrived at the Freeman bridge, on Grand River, the 9th of September. Found the river impassable on accounts of heavy rains. The causeway, some thirty rods long between the bridge and the north bank, was afloat. I left my goods on the south side, and my wife and I crossed on the floating logs, jumping from one log to another, and came to Leslie that night, five miles on foot. Next morning I started with an ox-team for my goods, the river still impassable for a team. By the help of three hired men we loaded in a wagon what we could draw, and drew it across on plank laid on the floating causeway, and by taking two sets of plank we could shift them every length of the wagon, and by working faithfully all day, part of the time up to our waist in water, we got them over, and arrived at our home in Leslie some time after dark."
The Freeman bridge mentioned by Mr. Armstrong is well remembered by the pioneers, as it was at the place where many of them crossed the river when on their way into Ingham County with their families.
