Thank you for this information. I have an ancestor Peter Smart who is buried near Pomeroy and had lived at Pleasant Ridge. Also, had Nathan Niblock with 300 acres near the river who died in or about 1830. His nephew, William Smart married Ann Brockway and inherited Nathan's land according to the will. William had small acreage nearer the river. Do these names mean anything to you folks or anyone else who reads this?
