Excerpt from A Chapter in the History of Cleveland

To the student who puts himself back to the time of the happening of these events, it appears clearly, xst, that the Western Reserve was not a portion of the north-west Terri tory until 1800, and and, that the formation of the County of Wayne to include that portion of the Reserve west of the Cuyahoga River was invalid for two reasons, (1) because that land constituted a part of the Reserve and was not sub ject to the government of the north-west Territory, and (2) because the person who undertook to form that county, Win thtop Sargent, was not such officer as he pretended to be (acting governor), as the Governor, Arthur St. Clair, was within the boundary lines of the north-west Territory on the day the county was formed.
