Another distillery was run by Nicholas Devore in the northwest corner of the township for five or six years." >> This information is from the 1884 History of Owen County by Charles Blanchard re: Harrison Township, p. 815. The paragraph actually says: "In the year 1834-35, Abraham Snodgrass started a distillery on the Bailey Farm and operated it a short time, afterward moving it to Taylor township. Prior to this time, however a small distillery was constructed in the northwest corner of the township by Nicholas Devore, who manufactured "fire-water" on a limited scale for five or six years. The only other item in the county history was that Rachel Snodgrass, daughter of Abraham H. and Rachel (Dickson) Snodgrass, both of Engilsh descent, was married to Martin Scott on 28 August 1846. The abstract from the county marriages has Rachel Jane Snodgrass married Martin Scott 27 Dec 1846. Glorianne
