General Notes:

**Interesting notes on Doty's in Indiana**

Parke County was settled in 1818 by John M. Doty, who was also considered the first permanent settler. He came to Henry's Prairie in that year. He is also thought to be the founder of Rosedale in the county.

Parke County was organized in 1821, and was named in honor of Benjamin Parke, the first member of Congress from the territory.

The Rosedale Church was organized in 1873 with Henry Harshbarger, Wilson Moss, and Hezekiah Williams as the first trustees. The first pastors were Ezekiel Wright, William Holt, and Reuben Webster. The membership which was quite large at first included the Doty, Laney, Salmon, and Cleghorn families. Reverend Williams preached here at different intervals; Reverend Chester Fidlar is the present minister.
