Exeter was organized in 1836 and named for the New York birthplace of the township’s first postmaster, Henry Palmer. In 1890 local officials set aside five hundred dollars to build this hall. The Canada Southern Railway, which ran through the township, spurred Exeter’s logging, charcoal, and limestone industries. Bricks, barrels, and broomsticks were produced in Maybee and Scofield. The area outside the villages was farmland.

Example

For example, one family's tree showed the Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania standing under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
