JACKSON.
OLIVE GREEN TOWNSHIP, named after its principal stream, was one of the original townships of Morgan County, organized in 1819, and then embraced as at present, a full congressional township. A few years later, on account of the political complexion of the township, its name was changed to Jackson. It is the only township in the county whose boundaries were not changed after the erection of Noble County in 1851.

The Keiths.Peter and Benjamin, were among the most prominent early settlers. They came about 1817, and took up farms. They were Pennsylvanians, and had lived on Tick Hill for a short time before removing here. Both were blacksmiths and bell-makers. Benjamin was the grandfather of W. B. Keith, Esq.

Among the early settlers of the township were Peter and Benjamin Keith, from Pennsylvania, the former a soldier of 1812. They took up a quarter section of land, which is still in possession of their descendants. They were blacksmiths and bellmakers. They made many bells, which were sold to the early settlers for miles around. Peter was twice marriedfirst to Miss Dickey, by whom he had four children: Benjamin, Robert, Elizabeth and John; and, second, to Miss Mary Taylor, who bore eight sons and two daughters. Mr. Keith was a very devout man, and through his efforts an early church was erected at Keith's.
