EARLY SETTLEMENTS IN MORGAN COUNTY Ben Simon built the first house in Morgan County in 1860 at what is known as Stoddard Spring. It was first called Simon Spring. He was a trapper and had permission from Mexico to bring cattle there. Simon was French and Indian and had an Indian wife. —26— In 1860 Judson Stoddard of Farmington bought the Simon place and named it Stoddard. Now it is the Hyrum Smith place. The first settlers of Simon Springs or Stoddard were Ben Simon, Judson Stoddard, Philenom C. Merrill, Conrad Smith, Truly Manhard, Henry Rock, Miller Parrish, John Hess, Nick Bardull, Dave Sanders, Johnny Hays, Jake Grover, Than Smith and Lot Smith, brothers. Judson Stoddard brought word of the Johnston Army while President Brigham Young was celebrating the Twenty-fourth of July in Cottonwood Canyon. It was Lot Smith who played such an important part in Echo Canyon War in the fall of 1857. He with a handful of men blockaded Echo Canyon, burned their supply trains, drove off their horses and mules. He had his men ride for hours over the same ground and set fires all over the hills until it appeared as if hundreds of men were there. The first school house built there was between Stoddard and North Morgan, where the Shurtliff Farm was. This little building was moved later to North Morgan with Daniel Heiner as first teacher and 111 pupils. Later the little school house was purchased by David Clawson and moved to Stoddard where it Still stands. MOUNTAIN GREEN—1860 At one time a prosperous settlement of 15 or 20 families was made there. Our own Daniel Williams came in 1867, also Spauldings, Higleys, Bybe, McLean, Hammond and others. ENTERPRISE Early settlers of Enterprise were Jesse Haven, Thomas Palmer, John Croft, John Green, John K. Hall and others. John K. Hall was the first Bishop of Enterprise, 1874, (the year I was born.) He drew plans for Morgan's first Courthouse, also the LDS Stake House. —27—
