From History of Spring Garden Community:

The Spring Garden settlement first appeared on an official plat of the state road leading from Lisletown on the Osage River in Cole County west toward Versailles on Feb. 15, 1847, county historian Clyde Lee Jenkins discovered on an old road plat found at the courthouse.

It shows the road leading past Martha Farmer's residence just over the line in Cole County, Martin Bond's astride the county line, the church, Thomas Sullen's tanyard by the spring, R.E. Simpson's house, S.C.H. Witten's house, ROBERT BELSHE'S, Alfred Carrender's, Franklin Belshe's, Mrs. Hough's and on west past Benjamin Hines' to Rosannah Etter's house.

Robert Belshe, Jenkins said, had bought the old William Miller place Jan. 26, 1839, paying for the 230 acres with a keg of $2,000 in silver coin toted in a wagon box from Kentucky. Miller, by then, had moved to the Saline Creek area.
