(Witness) HistoryCopied from page 527 of the Perrin History of Summit County

Basil Viers, the ancestor of the numerous families of that name who still live in various parts of the township, located near William Triplett’s place, west of Stephen Brewster. He was among the very first settlers, and is remembered only by the old gray-haired patriarchs of to-day. Just this side of the little log cabin in which Dan Haines lived, Wheeler Heniman located …… Adam Falor settled in the northern center, just east of South Main street, in the hollow not far from the rolling mill. He built and run a distillery, the first and, as far aw we are able to find, only one in the township. It was located where the old stone house stood, through which the Brewster Coal Railroad cut its way just after passing under the track of the N.Y.P. & O.R.R. Here the sturdy settlers came from all the country around to get the necessary material for raising barns and houses, as well as for running the hushing bee and other social gatherings. Her Adam and his wife Eve lived in peace, never dreaming of “temperance societies,” “crusaders” of Murphy pledges. They raised a family, many representatives of whom are still living in that neighborhood. Abram Falor, a son of Adam and Eve above mentioned, built a saw-mill on what is now known as Falor’s Run, where he did a good business for many years. Chester Judd was another early settler who came into this same section some time before the year 1829, though that is the time at which we find him located just beyond the Adam Falor place. Peter and Moses Osburn, brothers, also lived adjoining and near neighbors to Judd.

One of the first settlers at New Portage was Michael Dixon, who came there in 1814 or 1815. He lived there during the rise and fall of varying waves of prosperity that came upon this, the only town and capital of the “State of Coventry,” as this was wont to be called. He shared not only its prosperity but also its adversity for the remained long after its star had set and its prospects sunk into insignificance. At a later period Mr. Viers sought to revive its waning prospects by laying out an addition which was to grow and swallow up the old town and retrive its sinking fortunes. One lot was sold to Jacob Brown, after whom it was proposed to name the place Brownsville. But Fate did not smile upon the project, for but one house was built in the place which afterward for many years used as a match factory.
