E. a frame one and one Presbyterian church a frame. No bells ( I believe that one of the churches is gone now and the other is standing is a brick one in 2001). The population is 100 The village is surrounded by good farming land and should have a moderate growth in the future. ( It is still just a small crossroads in 2001).

The first horse mill at Rockport and was owned by Isaac Parker Note Source Extracted 10/03/02 Ohio. Putnam County, Kalida Venture, Kalida, Ohio December 23, 1845 Pg 2 Col 2: Our New Judges - The General Assembly have just concluded an election for sundry Associate Judges and Militia Generals. . . .among others, two association judges for our counties in place of Judges McCRACKEN and COX. The vote stood Jonathan Y. SACKETT - 59; George SKINNER - 59; Isaac McCRACKE - 31; Samuel RAMSAY - 31. The above is part of a private letter from Columbus. The Ohio Statesman has the name of Samuel ROCKHILL in place of Samuel RAMSAY as voted for by the Democrats. Both Gentlemen are good citizens and would have done credit to the bench . . . .So Jonathan Y. SACKETT after having again and again tried to get in office from the people is at last foisted upon the bench. . . .(claims COX resigned two years early to ensure SACKETT was elected).
