The founding record, as reached
dates/places: no birth, death, or origin facts in any record read or in NL-1/NL-2 (no Chapman biography; no Howard Vol. 2 biography located). Facts at the strength reached: co-organiser of Liberty Township, May 1837 (Chapman p. 718); co-layer-out of North Liberty in 1837 with James P. Antrim (Chapman p. 719) / sole signer of the dedication dated 12 Jan. 1836 in Howard’s dedication text (C1, whole, NL-2); opened the first store in North Liberty in 1837, did business one year, then sold his stock to E. S. Reynolds (Chapman p. 719). The 2015 Comprehensive Plan and the town’s own About page carry the compressed form “North Liberty was established on January 12, 1836 by Daniel Antrim” (both reached in search) — a modern repetition of Howard’s side of C1, not an independent settler. [PROFILE] Carrying fact: proprietor, plat dedicator (in one telling), and first storekeeper — the town’s founder in the record, with no vital record reached. Gap: §9, G-P-1.
