Not the original poster, but one source is this " Biographical & Historical Record of Putnam Co IN History. Chicago: Lewis Publishing, 1887, p. 354 JOHN FOSHER, farmer, section 24, Russell Township, was born in Preble County, Ohio, March 22, 1822. His father ,John Fosher, was born in Franklin County, Virginia, in 1786, and removed to Ohio in 1806. His mother Elizabeth Landes, was a native of Pennsylvania. The parents removed to Russell Township in 1822, being the first settler on Ramp Creek. The creek was named by the father, owing to the wonderful growth of ramps [wild onions] on its banks. Mr. Fosher built the first cabin, flour and saw-mill on the creek. He also built a church, which he donated to all denominations, and he was one of the first Universalists here." It goes on to say that John Fosher the younger was an Universalist. its hard for me to distinguish which John Fosher they are saying built the first cabin and the union church. steven rowe **************Ideas to please picky eaters.
