Some names in Allegheny Passage came to early Kentucky. George Tarvin, minister, of Hampshire Co VA, came to Limestone (now Maysville KY) before 1800. Another name that I found in Allegheny Passage was that of Crayfelt (which is listed in Kentucky as Craycraft). These families moved west along the Ohio River, as far as Campbell Co (Tarvin children were earliest members at the 12 Mile Baptist Church [Ohio River, southern Campbell Co] - I did not find any come as far as Newport-Covington KY). Some members of these families crossed the Ohio River into Southern Ohio - into Adams, Brown, Clermont and Scioto Cos - many ending up in Highland Co (Dunker Ridge [Sinking Spring - on the Zane Trace - OH41] or New Vienna). Those coming to Portsmouth (Scioto River - Scioto Co) were often from Virginia - but I have not traced all of them. The Portsmouth area was a major Mound Indian Center. Very old Mound Indian Roads go north from there (near 2000 years) - some up the Scioto River (US23) to Mound City (Chillicothe OH) and on (OH159-OH37) to the Mound Builders Memorial (at Newark OH), one especially, going northwest (OH73) to the Serpent Mound Memorial (Adams Co - just south of Dunker Ridge) and on through New Vienna OH to the Fort Ancient Memorial (near Lebanon OH). These were in active use, and the Brethren followed them. There was a large early Brethren Settlement at New Vienna, our very first Brethren College was there (lasted about 2 years, during the Civil War). I have done little research on New Vienna or its families. I know of no Brethren churches remaining there. I could find little on it in the Southern Ohio Histories. I have driven on "College Street" in New Vienna, a remembrance of the college (intentionally - it intersects off OH73 in town - just to please myself). The Kanawha Trace (following the Shawnee Indian WarPath through the Appalachian Mountains from near Franklin Co VA) crossed the Ohio River at Galliipolis OH (1804), (only a few years after Gallipolis was established -a refuge for surviving nobility of the French Revolution). Some Brethren families that came down the Ohio river, stopped there, and most of them came west from there, some to Highland Co, but others to near Dayton OH, and still others, on west into Indiana Territory.
