I am still looking for Phillip. I know that this Jeremiah was b. 1762 and died Butler co. 1834. Phillip is supposed to have been born in KY and that is just across the river from Butler and Hamilton counties in OH. Does anyone have any thoughts about the following? .............................................. A History and Biographical Cyclopedia of Butler County, Ohio--Morgan Township....Scipio.. pages 422-426 ....A carding-mill was owned by William D. JONES, which stood on the Ohio side, and which was run by horse-power. As early as 1830 George HUBBELL had a grist-mill on Dry Fork, a quarter of a mile below town. He soon added a flaxseed oil-mill, which was run for five or six years. The oil-mill was a frame, while the grist-mill, of course, was a log building. The oldest mill in this part of the township was built in 1810 by Jeremiah FRENCH, three- quarters of a mile below Scipio. It had an overshot wheel eighteen feet in diameter, and stood on the east side of the creek. At first the mill stood on posts, which in time rotted; and in order to build a saw-mill, stone were used for a foundation. John HYDEE succeeded FRENCH, who also was followed by Jesse SMITH & HOLLIBUT, both of whom were Yankees. SMITH was a mill-wright by trade. The old FRENCH mill ceased running more than 40 years ago. Below FRENCH's Mill a few rods, Levi SPARKS built a stone still-house. He had his corn ground at the mill above. pages 335-340 CAPTAIN ISRAEL GREGG. Captain Israel GREGG, for many years a prominent steamboat man, was for a long time a resident of Hamilton. He was born on the 20th of February, 1775, in Virginia, but his parents, who were adventurous pioneers, removed to Brownsville, Pennsylvania, shortly after, where, on attaining a sufficient age, he was taught the art of a silversmith, and on reaching his majority set up for himself. Two years after, or on the 12th of July, 1798, he married Elizabeth HOUGH, one of the younger children of a Quaker family, and sister of Joseph HOUGH, for twenty years the leading merchant of Hamilton. Another brother, Benjamin, was auditor of the State of Ohio from 1808 to 1815. Mr. GREGG afterwards became interested in steamboating, and in 1814 was in command of the steamboat Enterprise, built at Brownsville by Daniel FRENCH, on his patent, and owned by a company at that place. It was a boat of forty-five tons. It made two voyages to Louisville in the Summer of 1814. In December she took in a cargo of ordnance stores at Pittsburgh, and sailed for New Orleans, arriving at that port on the 14th of the same month. She was then dispatched up the river in search of two keel-boats, laden with small arms, which had been delayed on the river. She had reached twelve miles above Natchez when she met the boats, took their masters and cargoes on board, and returned to New Orleans, having been out six and half days, in which time she ran two hundred and sixty-four miles. Middletown--Lemon township--pages 627-632 Mr. DOTY was instrumentral in bringing the second minister of the Gospel into the Miami country. The first preacher was the Rev. Daniel CLARK, a licensed minister of the Baptist profession, who came from Pennsylvania in the Spring of 1791. The second preacher who came was the Rev. James KEMPER. He lived near Danville, Kentucky. Daniel DOTY and a man named FRENCH were chosen by the people to go and bring him and his family to the country. They proceeded on their way with rifles primed, their only road being a bridle-path for sixty miles, sleeping in the woods at night. This was in the Spring of 1792.
