Linda SmithFreedom Rock UpdateStart looking for Freedom Rock painter, Ray (Bubba) Sorensen, atthe Madison County Freedom Rock, located near the John WayneBirthplace Museum. The rock was moved to that location in July 2016with the donated assistance of several Madison County volunteers andbusinesses. Since that time, the site has been enhanced with a sidewalkand benches. A committee, made up of Winterset American Legion andVFW members, has been coordinating the process.Sorensen, of Greenfield, plans to paint a Freedom Rock in each ofIowa’s 99 counties and over 60 are finished. He determines the scenespainted from suggestions by local citizens. If you wish to contributeplease deliver or mail a donation to: Freedom Rock Fund, Farmers &Merchants State Bank, 101 W.

How Madison County Townships Were FormedA series of articles titled “Our County History” were printed in the Winterset Madisonian in early1891 with no author named. The sub heading was “Brief Notes of Interesting Matters in the History ofMadison County’s Development – People and Events Recalled to Memory.” What is printed below is from theMarch 20 article called “Organization” and describes the formation of our townships. The maps below werecreated by using the descriptions provided in the1891 article, with some guessing, as specifics weren’t given.This information may come in handy if you were expecting ancestors to be in a certain township in anearly census, but find them in a different township. Did they move? Maybe, but perhaps the township bordersmoved instead. I thought Douglas Township censuses were lost from the early years, but instead found Chaserelatives living in Center Township in the 1856 State Census and the 1860 Federal Census. In the 1870Federal Census, they were living in Douglas Township; all without moving an inch.“In 1849 the organization of [Madison] county was officially consummated under the direction ofEphriam Bilderback, who was appointed for that purpose. It should be remembered that prior to that timethere were no roads, no civil townships, no county officials and no county seat. At the election, which may betermed [an] organization election, David Bishop, William Combs, and Wm. Gentry were electedcommissioners and on them devolved the duty of subdividing the county into civil townships and establishinga seat of justice.”“It appears that the first civil township formed wasUnion. The Union township of 1849 was not however theUnion township of today. It at first consisted of nearly the entirenorth half of the county. South township as the next formed. Itoriginally consisted of that part of the county south of the dividebetween Clanton and Middle River and turning north near thecenter of what is now Scott township ran north forming an L,and joined Union township. Center consisted of the balance ofthe county not included in Union and South. Its west boundarywas Adair county, a line running north and south from the centerof what is now Scott township formed the east boundary, and itextended in width from Cedar creek and Howerton branch to thedivide south of Middle River.”18491851“In 1851 Walnut township was formed outof a part of South and the same year East townshipwas formed out of the east part of Union, andMadison township was formed out of the west partof Union. As originally estimated Walnut townshipconsisted of what is now know by the namesMonroe, Grand River and parts of Webster, Lincoln,and Scott. Madison township, as originally made up,was very nearly the northwest quarter of the countyin which is now known as Madison together withPenn, Jackson and Douglas. East township whichhas been lost to us, consisted of what is now Lee andCrawford, except that it did not extend quite as farsouth as the present south boundary of Crawford.”Note: There may be an omission here since 1856census data exists for Monroe and WebsterTownships.6

“In 1857 Ohio township was formed fromthe south part of South township and wasconstituted the same as it now consists. The sameyear Badger township was formed from the northpart of East township. The name of Badgertownship was changed to Lee in 1858 and the nameof East township was changed to Crawford in honorof Oliver Crawford an enterprising and honoredfarmer of that section of the county. Jeffersontownship was formed from Union township in 1858.The same year Grand River township was formedout of the west end of Walnut and Penn was formedfrom the northwest corner of Madison, but theboundary lines were somewhat different from whatthey are now. The same is true of Webstertownship.”1857-58“Monroe township was constituted as itnow exists in 1860 and Center was finallywhittled down to its present diminutive size someyears later. In May 1860 Jackson township wasmade as it now exists and at the same time theboundaries of Webster and Grand River weremade to conform to the boundaries by which theyare now limited. Douglas, Lincoln and Scotttownships were formed subsequently to 1861from parts of Union, Center and Walnuttownships.”“The plan of making the civil townshipsconform to the congressional, the best plan whichcan be adopted, was not a first thought, as manymay suppose, but was evolved by degrees as thestreams became bridged and the land becamegenerally settled. It plainly appears that thetopography of the county, streams of water andthe character of the settlement for many yearsfigured more prominently in the subdivision ofthe county into civil townships, than thecongressional lines.”1860 to PresentNote: At the present time, the term “Center Township” is no long used to denote Winterset. Thatchange evidently took place after 1915 since this quote was found in the 1915 History of Madison County,page 363, “Winterset lies in Center Township which in equal proportions lies in Douglas and UnionTownships and Lincoln and . Scott Townships.”7
