      (pg. 333) The society of the Christian Church built the first house of worship in the township at Bladensburg, in an early day, and among the early ministers were Revs. Uriah Long, William Spurlock, and G.T.Johnson.

      George Harman was one of the first wagonmakers in Pleasant Township, building his shop on sections 5 and 8.
      ...
      Bladensburg is an unincorporated village, which was laid out on parts of sections 9 and 16, on the 18th day of March, 1853, by George D. Hackworth, for Artemus Cockran and William Wright.
