Many of the families you mentioned began there. I just ran across a Peckenbaugh in the "History of Warren County". Chapter XLV discusses Kelly Township and on Pg 923 the settlement of the county is discussed. Here is part of what it says: "Also in the list of pioneers are found the names of Joseph Paddock, the old surveyor; Thomas Champion, George and James Brown, Henry and Edwad Martin, James Stevens, Henry and John Peckenbaugh, Steven Mitchell, Hiram Gray, the Richardsons, Chas. B. House, Wm. Francisco, John Grissam, Basil Watson and Stephen Bell. I don't know the year of publication, since what I have was handed to me and not marked accordingly. If you contact the library in Monmouth, they may be able to help you. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Lesli Rice Shaheen
