    1. [KYPENDLE] Pendleton County 1800

    3. Hi folks, I have a couple of general questions, maybe you can help me. I find reference to meeting at "McClain's Schoolhouse" in the 1797 Forks of Licking Church records. Who was McClain? Any chance anybody knows where McClains schoolhouse was? Was it in Falmouth? This, before the FOL Meeting House had been built, apparently. Which grown man in Pendleton County in 1800 was the most likely to be a teacher or a professional man, well-educated, particularly trained & highly skilled in mathematics? Who among your ancestors was a mathematician of one skill-set or another? Especially if there was a man who lived near the general area of the the Licking R., and north of Falmouth. Considering that in 1800 the population was 1,613, with a population density of 2.7 people per square mile, I'd guess neighborhoods by definition were larger than we are used to thinking of today. I'll be very interested in your responses. Kathryn
