Early Allen County Settlers
 
In the area of Fort Amanda pioneers appeared on the scene (1817) and there,
within the blockhouses of the fort, made the beginning of what has
distinguished this part of the state. These first settlers were Andrew Russell,
who died five years later and is buried in the military cemetery; Peter Diltz,
who returned to Montgomery County in 1818; and William Van Ausdall, who died in
1824 and whose remains are next to the grave of Andrew Russell. Settlers who
came to the township immediately following were Henry Hartel (1820); Dye
Sunderland and family (1821); William Stewart, George Kephart, Jacob Hartel,
