The History of Henry County, Missouri, printed in 1919, tells how this part of the county was settled. The first settlement on Deepwater Creek came in 1835. It was made by a man named Morris. Mr. Shelton came next, and the Greggs followed in 1837. William McCown and William Tyree arrived in 1839. In July 1840, the county court made a new township called Deepwater. It was split off from Grand River township. At first it covered much more land. It held all of today's Deepwater, Walker and Bear Creek townships, plus parts of others.
The first wedding in Deepwater township
That same year, John Schmedding married Elizabeth Walbert. He had been living with her and her brother, Henry Walbert. The Reverend Asa Jones led the ceremony. The book calls it the first wedding in the southeast part of Henry County. The house stood inside what's now Deepwater township. Look past the streets on the map and you'll see thin blue creeks still cutting through the fields, the kind of land those first families settled.
