Ira Davis Lounsbury came to WI by way of canal from New York State in 1838. He cleared 25 acres of land in Dodge and Jefferson counties, and was granted several land patents. He then purchased the farm of his wife's father, Benjamin Piper, who was the first settler in the Village of Watertown, Jefferson County, WI. He came to the WI Territory in 1835, did some work, returned to NY to get his family, and then built a log cabin. He was the one who built the Watertown Plank Road going from Watertown to Milwaukee so that the farmers could get their products to market, without sinking with their carts, etc. Smart man. Later built an Inn by the Plank Road. Manitowoc County, of course, does not need this history, but we have some extremely early settlers in WI Territory.
