Noah Briggs, from the town of Groton, Tompkins Co., N. Y., brought his family to Washtenaw Co., Mich., in June 1835, locating in the township of Pittsfield, afterwards in Superior a short distance north of Ypsilanti. During the following winter he located land in Oceola, upon which he moved with his family in the fall of 1838. In March of the same year he had moved into the county and rented a house of William Placeway, in the northeast corner of Genoa, where the latter kept a log tavern. During the fall Mr. Briggs built a log house on his own place, into which he moved. The farm was later purchased by his oldest son, Anson C. Briggs, who now lives in Howell, while another son, H. G. Briggs, owns the property...........
