The following document was found among the loose county court papers in the Livingston County Clerk’s Office a number of years ago. Eddyville was located in Livingston County at that time and remained there until 1809 when it was located in the new county of Caldwell. By 1854, Lyon County had been created from Caldwell County and Eddyville was then located in Lyon County.
Many times information of this sort was recorded in the county court order books (court minutes), but this document was not recorded there. As far as I can determine, it is found only in the loose county clerk papers.
“As a Meeting of the lot holders
and residents of the Town of Eddyville the following Gentlemen on the first
Monday in August 1806 were duly Elected Trustees for said Town and took the
oath accordingly Gideon D. Cobb, Samuel C. Clarke, Elijah G. Galusha, Moses
Timmons, Blake Baker Esqrs.
Attest Jacob E. Faller C.L.C., Eddyville August 4 1806"
