From the History of Genesee County Michigan by Edwin Orin Wood.

Among the curios of these records of the township of Flint are the records of marks, by which
each owner of stock identified his property, and which suggests the time before fences were in order among the settlers. The first entry was made on the 4th day of April, 1836, but these relate to the Atherton name:

"Shubal Atherton's mark A Square crop off the left ear April 17, 1840."
"Adonijah Atherton, mark Swallow tail in the end of the left ear April 17, 1840"
"Perus Atherton mark a hole through the left ear Mav 2, 1840."

From 1842 the entries of marks are less frequent, as probably the fences were beginning to hold the stock and make the ear-mark record of less utility.
