    • History of Knox and Daviess Counties Page 80-81 (1886)

      Early Settlers.
      Frederick mehl, or Mail, came to the county while it was in possession of the French and Indians. As the French and Indians fraternized he learned the French language as a matter of protection. He was from Philadelphia and obtained Donation 52, to which Isaac Mehl obtained a deed in 1797. Frederick Mehl was the father of Charles, Isaac, Solomon and Frederick all of whom have been identified with the development of the township. They have all been closely confined to agricultural pursuits.

      George Catt, grandfather of J. Pm Catt, came from North Carolina to Virginia; thence to Knox County and settled on an old French claim, lying immediately east of Purcell Station. He came all the way from Virginia in a wagon bringing his family with him. George Catt, son of the former, was born about 1800, and settled on a portion of the land owned by his father. He was a ranger in time of the Indian war, but was not at the battle of Tippecanoe. He was a farmer and miller. Moses Catt, brother of George Catt, was never the owner of land, was somewhat given to bibulous habits. He lived in the "barrens" in the western part of the township. "Boss" Catt went to New Orleans and was lost sight of by his friends. Isaac Catt, brother of J. P. Catt, lived west of the railroad. He owned a small tract of land, but depended mainly on his gun for a living. He killed great numbers of deer and turkey. Other of the Catt brothers were Solomon and Hiram, the former died in Harrison Township; the latter is still living near the old farm of the grandfather.
