Four claims were made by him, one for himself, one for his brotherE.P. Butler, one for George Wells and the last for Theodore Wells. He didnot settle on these claims at that time though. The first settlement thatI have found occurred shortly after November 1, 1834, which is when hemade claim, by Solon Robinson and family. He held the deed to the land that the courthouse stands on today.As of 1873, the courthouse that was prominent was one built in 1849 byGeorge Earle, architect, and Jeremy Hixon, builder. The present daycourthouse was erected in 1878 and is now a well-preserved museumreflecting on the history of Crown Point. Population grew steadily fromabout 1,300 in 1873, to about 2,300 in 1900. The town was incorporated in1868. ------------- 1880 Federal Census: Census Place: Center Township, Lake Co, Indiana Source: FHL Film 1254291 National Archives Film T9-0291 Page 557C Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace Hiram PARKER Self M M W 39 NY (namespelled incorrectly) Occupation: Farmer Fa: NY Mo: NY Ann E.
