Windsor township has always been and remains essentially a rural region. However, several hamlets and villages grew up with churches, schools, post offices, etc., which the early settlers established.
Of these, Scottown and Millville, are the principal ones that have remained down in recent times. The old Town House near the middle of the township, the Methodist campgrounds on Symmes Creek, and Pomaria Baptist Church have also become historical spots of Windsor.
One is always confronted with difficulty in choosing a few from the pioneers who helped settle and develop such a region as Windsor Township. Almost everyone who participated in such a development did something to make him or her worthy of grateful memory.
In making our choice, we try to choose those who came at the earliest period of the region’s history, or whose histories extend well back into early American times, and those who were members of families whose descendants continued to play a part in the life of the same or nearby regions, or sections of the country. As to Windsor Township, the Earles family and some of its members fulfill these requirements remarkably well.
