I was intrigued by your dead-end and pursued it with a bit of my own research and without making this terribly long Milo's, who was enumerated on the 1820 census in Miami, Clermont Co., Ohio, line seems to lead to a William Springstead in Hamilton Co., Ohio in 1820. Hamilton Co., being adjacent to Clermont. There only appears to be one William Springstead on the 1810 census in New York who could probably fit the family and he is in Warwick, Orange Co., New York. It could be a start especially in light of the fact that on the 1870 census in Knox Co. both Milo and a William Springsteel(who lived next door) both named sons William.
