I too am interested in a group moving from Augusta to Miami Valley. John Huff married Ann Bear in Churchville, VA in 1810. I believe this is the same John Huff/Hoff who lived in the Miami Valley up to about 1828 when they relocated again to Flora, Indiana. John's son Lewis and Solomon were intermarried into the Lesh's near Eaton, OH in the early 1830's after they had started farming in Flora (married by the Brower that Merle was looking for). They must have come back to Eaton to get married. John Huff had a farm in the Miami Valley by 1814. Lewis was born in Virginia in 1811 so sometime between 1810 and 1814 people were on the move from the Rockingham/Augusta area to the Miami Valley. As near as I can tell, the Bears were Brethren and one of the at least four Jacob Bears probably was Ann Bear's father since he signed the marriage bond.

Are you aware if there was any group migration (of Brethren folks) from Rockingham / Augusta, VA to the Miami Valley in OH about 1810?
