How East Union Township, Wayne County began
East Union Township, in the southeast of Wayne County, was formed on September 5, 1814, and named by Simon Chaffin Sr., a native of Union, Maine, who had come to it in the winter of 1812-13. Its first settlers were Vermonters in its northern part in 1809-10. The old village of Edinburg was laid out in 1832 (one list of village plats gives 1822) and the railroad village of Applecreek Station (now Apple Creek) grew up beside the Cleveland, Mount Vernon and Columbus line. Settlers here remembered Native sugar camps, a chief named Johnnycake and a night flight toward Steubenville after the news of Hull's surrender in 1812. The township had 1,865 people in 1870.
Settled 1809-10 (Oliver Day, Jonathan Mansfield, Vesta Frary and Andrew Lucky, in the northern part); Simon Chaffin Sr. 1812-13, platted Edinburg, August 16 (1832 in Douglass's text; 1822 in Bowen's list of village plats), incorporated September 5, 1814 (township formed), by Simon Chaffin Sr. named the township; Edinburg was laid out by William Thomas and John L. Cheyney.
Where the name comes from
Douglass (1878) says 'according to the best information' the township was named by Simon Chaffin Sr., a native of Union, Maine; Bowen (1910) says the same. Chaffin's own certificate of residence, copied in the county history, is dated Union, Maine, September 18, 1811.
Before the town
East Union is among the Wayne County townships whose pioneer accounts name Native places and people. Simon Chaffin Jr. told the 1878 historian that Native people had a sugar camp, with two huts, on the farm later owned by John Long (Lang), and that Punch's Glade on the Brenneman farm was named for Old Punch, an Indian who hid in the thickets. Noah Brown remembered an Indian camp at the head of Apple Creek. In the alarm that followed Hull's surrender in August 1812, a party of about forty settlers fleeing toward Steubenville on the old Indian trail found a campfire near Big Sugar Creek: it proved to be the camp of Chief Johnnycake and his people, who called themselves friendly and equally in danger, fled themselves when a rider blew a tin horn, and were never again seen in that settlement. Chaffin also cut musket balls out of trees shot by members of General Beall's militia, which marched through Wayne County after Hull's surrender in 1812. The nations are not named.

Stories
Chief Johnnycake and the stampede to Steubenville
After General Hull's surrender in August 1812 the Ohio frontier was frightened, and in the Smith settlement near the present Wayne County infirmary two women heard what they took for gunfire toward Wooster, 'five hundred a minute.' Some thirty to forty settlers assembled, men, women and children with only eight guns among them, and decided to set out for Steubenville along the old Indian trail while James McIntire rode to scout Wooster. Young John J. Brown, a small boy with his gun taken by an older man, carried two children on a spirited horse. They walked all night in silence, and at Big Sugar Creek found a campfire close to the trail; the Indian dogs barked and a whoop went up. It was Chief Johnnycake's camp. Hearing the story, his people said they would flee too, being friendly and as much in danger, but first they would eat the deer roasting at the fire. Then McIntire, bringing news that the noise had been men chopping straw with axes in a trough, galloped past blowing a tin horn, and Johnnycake's people fled hungry. The returning settlers found the deer burned to a crisp over the embers, and never saw Johnnycake's band again.
Herr Driesbach, the lion tamer of Applecreek Station
Herr Driesbach, born in Sharon, Schoharie County, New York, on November 2, 1807, drifted as a boy to New York City and worked in the Zoological Gardens, where as a youth he became the first to make a performing animal of the leopard. From 1830 he joined the traveling menagerie of Raymond & Company, went to Europe with it and exhibited before most of the crowned heads, touring Britain, France, Germany, Holland and Russia. He returned about 1840 with a world reputation and toured the states until 1854, when he married Sarah Walter, daughter of John Walter of Wooster Township, and settled down as a farmer. In 1875 he opened a hotel at Applecreek Station, and after two days' illness he died there on December 5, 1877, leaving a widow and one son. His life was compiled into a book that sold widely after his death.
Musket balls in the trees
Simon Chaffin Jr., whose recollections the 1878 county history records, said that the first white man to die in East Union was Vesta Frary, who was buried on John Ramsey's farm with thirty or forty others who followed him; Oliver Day and his wife were buried on the farm where they lived. A child of William Buckley also died and was buried in the woods near the family home. Thirty years before 1878, Chaffin said, he cut musket balls out of trees on that ground, shot there by members of Beall's army, the militia detachment General Beall marched through Wayne County in the weeks after Hull's surrender in 1812. He recalled that one of the first churches, the Ebenezer church, stood on Amos Walters' farm, that the Methodists met at houses before it, and that the presiding elder Rev. Harry O. Sheldon was so strong he could carry a barrel of salt or cider with ease and once choked two drunken men into silence at a camp meeting.
