Does anyone have or know of a good county map(s) of Adams Ct. showing the changing township boundaries over the years, especially in the 1800"s? Sandy Lewis at Sllewis@zoomnet.net the USGenweb coordinator would put them on the site if she could find some. This would probably be a benefit to all of us when figuring out where folks were in Adams Ct. early on. Thanks! Christine Welch Harrison cwelch@neo.rr.com

The "Caldwell's Illustrated Historical Atlas of Adams County Ohio" published in 1880 contains maps of the townships and towns within the county. Property owners are identified. Dave Patton

Friend McDONALD mentions Rev Barton Warren Stone, who followed REV ROBERT WILKES FINLEY at CANE RIDGE,and Concord,then Presbyterian churches in Bourbon-Fleming Co,Ky. Finley ran a school at Cane Ridge,where he educated REVS RICHARD MCNEMARR,and REV JOHN DUNLEVY. About 1800,McNEMARR had a PRESBYTERIAN church on East Eagle in Adams,and another on Cabin Creek across the river. Dunlevy had RED OAK Presbyterian n of Ripley,and one east. STONE,MCNEMARR,AND DUNLEVY were major ministers at the several great camp meetings of 1801-CANE RIDGE drew 30-40,000. The last,and weakest,was on Eagle. McNEMARR went on to ne CINCINNATI-Warren Co,Oh After the revivial's the Presbyterian churches of those 3 men split,with part of the congregations becoming "NEW LIGHTS". STONES KY congregation at CANE RIDGE is credited as birthplace of the Church of Christ,and the 1791 log church preserved a shrine. Parts of the "NEW LIGHTS" ON EAGLE and RED OAK followed,1806+ REVS DUNLEVY AND MCNEMARR into the SHAKERS. Though a celebate people, these new SHAKERS already had families,so SW ADAMS,and se BROWN CO,OH genealogists should be aware that 1811,100+ families from s Oh floated p[ast Cincinnati to join the SHAKERS. Some returned. DRAGOO,ANDREW BROWN, NATHAN SHARP, are a tiny portion of the SHAKERS.

Re: Val McDaniel-McDonald land in Survey #641 (next section north of Decatur's #999), where Val donated land to the M.E. Church: Survey numbers ran as high as #16000 or thereabouts, as I recall, so some of the numbers in this area were indeed relatively low (early surveys.) During "the great revival of 1800," Rev. Barton STONE introduced the southern style of evangelism to his Kentucky congregations. During 1801 he preached at several locations in northern Ky -- but also at *Eagle Creek in Adams County, OH.* So, the Eagle Creek area must have been settled early (Brown Co. not formed as yet.) The PITTINGER family apparently had quite a bit of land in this section by 1876 (3 residences), Val's land was purchased by Wm. PITTENGER in 1849 -- are any descendants on line or does anyone have a PITTINGER snail mail address? (who might have an old deed or interest in family history, send to me, not to list) -- also RUTHERFORD, GRIMES, SMITH, PICKERELL, CARSON and KIRKPATRICK families were living in this section #641 in 1876. Or, does anyone know of a United Methodist Church historian in the area? I'd sure like to learn specifically where Val's land was located or more about this early M.E. Church group. Thanks for any help. Neil McDonald (Thanks, Hermon, for your several postings of info -- your point is well taken regarding Survey #641 being 90% in present Brown Co. with the eastern 10% being within present Adams County; I can't tell for sure from my Byrd Twp. map but this seems likely, from looking at #999 beneath it.) Did Adams County produce any kind of land-plat map similar to the Brown County 1876 Atlas? I remember well, eating from church plates identified as "M. E.!" -- that's prior to the "United" coming into play. -----Original Message----- From: hermfagley@juno.com <hermfagley@juno.com> To: OHADAMS-L@rootsweb.com <OHADAMS-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, July 01, 1999 3:46 AM Subject: [OHADAMS-L] Blair-Williams-Archer-Pittenger-Mahaffey-Woods-Quarry-Bicker-Rutherford-Pick erell-Carlson-Grimes-Smith-Kirkpatrick-Tacker-White-McDaniel >Pleasant Hill Church of Christ a couple survey's north is the POLLITT'S. >I'm struck by the low numbers,and by the names on the survey's n of >DECATUR,INCLUDING JOHN CRAWFORD,and MACHAIR [STATION ].

Hi Pat, when in August is the Clifford reunion? My great-grandmother was Anna Grooms Freeland. I am planning to make a trip to Adams, CO to do some research and maybe I can make the times coincide. Sandy L

Looking for maiden name and descendants of Rebecca Monroe who married Ira MARVIN in Adams County, OH October 17, 1830. She was listed on the marriage record as Mrs. Rebecca Monroe (Widow). She had a child named FRANCIS MONROE. Rebecca was born in 1808 and died September 9, 1885 and is buried in the Locust Grove Cemetery in Franklin Township. Children of IRA MARVIN and REBECCA MONROE were: 1. ELIZA J. MARVIN born about 1832 married BENJAMIN BALDWIN born 22 Jun 1828 2., EBENIZER MARVIN born 7 Jun 1833 died 28 April 1888 never married 3. NAOMA JANE MARVIN born 12 May 1836 married DANIEL BOONE COLLIER left Adams Co., OH and lived in Lincoln Co., OK 4. MARY ANN MARVIN born 1840 died 23 Mar 1883 married HARRISON EVANS 5. EMMALINE MARVIN born Mar 1842 died 18 Jan 1906 married PHILLIP J. LEWIS. Any help would be appreciated.

Pleasant Hill Church of Christ a couple survey's north is the POLLITT'S. I'm struck by the low numbers,and by the names on the survey's n of DECATUR,INCLUDING JOHN CRAWFORD,and MACHAIR [STATION ]. Arthur Fox,of Washington,Ky seems the surveyor.

With reference to an earlier posting concerning lands of Valentine McDaniel-McDonald, Val and his second wife, Sarah (JONES, widow), sold his land in Section #1033 (near Ripley) for $950 on 18 July 1833 to Samuel MATHERS. Witnesses were Val's son-in-law, John H. BLAIR, and Wm. MATHERS. Per survey description, this 111 acres bordered that of James WILLIAMS, Thomas McCONNELL and LAYCOCK's Old Line. Val (at age 72) and Sarah, on 31 March 1832 for $650, purchased 144 acres from George and Polley ARCHER, in Section #641 which is primarily in present Brown Co. but which runs into or borders Adams Co. Section #641 is the first section north of Section #999 (the latter encompasses present Decatur, OH); an error on the 1876 Brown Co. Atlas incorrectly identifies Section #641 as #884. Section #641 was surveyed on Military Warrant #688 in 1792 for Lt. Col. Samuel HOPKINS, consisting of 1400 acres, patented 1796 as part of the Virginia Military District. Residences on the 1876 map identifies G. BICKER, A. PITTENGER (3 different residences), J. M. RUTHERFORD, G. N. PICKERELL, Jr., J. CARLSON, Wm. A. GRIMES, Jno. SMITH, A. M. KIRKPATRICK and E. TACKER as living within this section at this later date. Val and Sarah's property was described as being on the waters of Eagle Creek, Section #641 would be on the East Fork of Eagle Creek or Rattlesnake Run if my map-names are correct. Valentine (at age 82) and Sarah sold 1/3 acre of this land (for $1 total) to the Methodist Episcopal (M.E.) Church on 18 March 1842; church trustees were John MAHAFFEY (McAffee?), Jarmiah Petihener (PETINGER), Casper B. WOODS, Wm. QUARRY and Westley Petihemer (PETINGER.) Val and Sarah sold 2-1/2 acres to Casper B. WOODS on 9 June 1842 for $16, witnesses were George L. CALVERT and Lorenzo Dowe McDANIEL (grandson of Valentine, who lived with Val after his father, Reazin, died.) Valentine died on this land in 1845. Subsequent joint-owners were Wm. PETTINGER and John D. WHITE, in 1849. I would greatly appreciate anyone passing along information to me concerning the M.E. Church which was apparently built on this land north of Decatur, OH in 1842 -- at least where it may have been located and whether a cemetery exists. (Although Valentine and Sarah McD were likely Presbyterian, I doubt they traveled to Red Oak Church for services in their later years.) Other info concerning any connections would be nice as well, I enjoy sharing info. Neil McDonald

I found a notation in my letter files which "apparently corrects" my original posting. State Land Office records show Section #1033 was indeed surveyed for John Crawford, but on Military Warrant #308, *not* #19. Crawford apparently sold it as P. Thomas and S. Walter obtained a patent in July, 1798. Philemon Thomas sold it in 1800 as previously posted. Alma A. Smith had just completed her book "The Virginia Military Surveys of Clermont and Hamilton Counties, Ohio, 1787-1849" when I last heard from her in January, 1986. Her letter provided this correction. Of further interest, in looking at the court record for Valentine McDaniel's purchase of 100 acres within section #1033 on 1 Aug 1800 from Philmon Thomas were witnesses Amos ELLIS, Jos. WATERS and Daniel FEAGIN. Section #1033 was just north of present Ripley, Ohio, across the Ohio River from the Dover, KY area.

KY by the following source. This area possibly needed more PR at the time if it were indeed settled prior to 1792 as most of the other referenced stations were. Has anyone found land records for your ancestors on "the waters of Locust Creek" in the 1790's? Neil McDonald For Val McDaniel-McDonald, he likely came downriver with the ALEXANDER BUCHANAN Sr colony and lived a mile west of GERMANTOWN. And,from his move to s BROWN CO,OH he became neighbors in s OHIO OF FEAGAN'S STATION people. But,the COLLINS of Maysville ,and SPENCER RECORDS, and ARTHUR FOX'S will "History of Maysville and MASON CO," mention LEE'S CREEK STATION at DOVER ,ky, WHICH WAS,SAY 3 miles from where VAL settled in Ohio. Then there is possible settlement in the CHARLESTOWN bottoms oppisite RIPLEY. DR TALLEY, the COLLIN'S say "SEVERAL BLOCKHOUSES built by SIMON KENTON." Let's call the KENTON'S blockhouse a mile west of Concord,Ky one of those "several". I could be easily convinced any blockhouse just west of Vanceburg,on Quick's Run,was another. Easiest thing I could find to research was a paperback copy of "THE FRONTIERSMAN" I see SIMON KENTON once lived on a 2ND Quick's Run near Harrodsburg, 1782. [unless he was a neighbor of KENNEDY]. I see the blockhouse mentioned by Isreal DONALDSON -EARLY 1791- fits with the SCIOTO capture of GREATHOUSE,HUBBARD, etc,and of the army from MASON gong up-river.Eckart SAID "Over 200 men rode up the KY side of the Ohio under COL A.D.ORR-Records reported on this movement. The militia spoke with 2 settlers-GEORGE EDWARDS and THOMAS MARSHAL. The militia also encountered 2 men encamped near the THREE ISLANDS-Manchester and Kenton's blockhouse were near 3 islands. David Thomas and Peter Devine-the 2 that lured JOHN MAY,et al's flatboats ashore. ALSO, 3 flatboats with 100 men went up-river under RANKIN. >From Collins Historical Sketches of Kentucky, History of Kentucky, Volume 2, published by Collins & Co, Covington, KY, 1874: (In the general area of present Mason Co. KY.) BAILEY'S STATION: Mason County, 2 1/2 miles south of Maysville, one mile from Washington;1791. BOSLEY'S STATION: 3/4 mile above the main fork of Well's Creek, near Washington, Mason county, before 1793. BUCHANAN'S STATION: One mile west of Germantown, Bracken County, where Geo HUMLONG recently lived. The Alexander Buchanan Sr colony,ex of Georges Twnsp,Fayette Co,Pa, would move,1795-96 winter 5 miles north of MOSCOW,Clermont Co,Oh where the BUCHANAN cemetary became old Calvery methodist cem. Alex JR M A SELLERS,so was a bro-in-law of Capt SPENCER RECORDS brother,LABAN, and of the LOWE'S. (Hermon, the stations listed here were mostly settled pre-1792, so it seems very likely that Buchanan's was included in this time frame -- re: question as to whether this area of present Bracken Co. area was possibly not settled until after 1792. This question was posed by Spencer Records info concerning a bridle path being cut in 1792 for a road from Washington, KY to a point opposite Cincinnati. I believe the Spencer brothers were cutting a new "main" road for commerce with the Cincinnati area, while a few paths or roads already existed in the Mason-Bracken area. The Spencer note "40 miles of unbroken forest" was likely intended for the area west of that already settled in Mason-Bracken.) BYNE'S STATION: Settled by Edmund BYNE, on North Fork, in Mason County. CLARK'S STATION: Mason County; 1785. CURTIS' STATION: Mason Co. FEAGAN'S STATION: Mason Co, 1 1/2- 2 miles east of Germantown. FLORER'S STATION: On the middle trace from Maysville to Lexington; 1792. KENTON'S STATION: 3 miles southwest of Limestone (now Maysville), about one mile north of Washington in Mason Co; settled by Simon KENTON, 1784. KENTON'S (John) STATION: 1/2 mile southeast of Washington, Mason Co. KENTON'S (Simon) STATION: Several blockhouses built by Simon KENTON, who brought his father's family from PA (via flatboat, departed at Brownsville, PA), and remained with them until July, 1784. LEACH'S STATION: Bracken Co.Does anyone know the slightest thing of this fort? Was it really Leitch's Station 6 miles se of Cincinnati on the Licking that became the land speculator Col Taylor's thru his marrying Leitch's widow? LEE'S STATION: Mason Co, between Maysville and Washington; settled by Gen Henry LEE, 1785. Do not confuse LEE'S STATION S MAYSVILE,with LEES CREEK STATION,Dover,ky 10 miles west. LEWIS' STATION: Re-settled by Geo LEWIS in 1789, formerly called Geo CLARK'S STATION, at present Lewisburg, Mason Co., 9 miles from Maysville. LIMESTONE: Later renamed Maysville, see below. MANCHESTER or MASSIE'S STATION: 12 miles above Maysville on the north bank of Ohio River at the THREE ISLANDS. They farmed the islands MAYSVILLE: On the Ohio River, at the mouth of Limestone Creek, Mason Co, settled 1784, blockhouse built by Edward WALLER, John WALLER and George LEWIS of Virginia. (Maysville was named for William May, brother of John May, after the town had been known as Limestone.) Where is the MAYS LICK settlement of SHOTWELL,MORRIS,DRAKE,1786? MEREFORD'S (George) STATION: 2 1/4 miles south of Maysville, Mason Co, 1787. STROUD'S STATION (STRODE?): Mason Co., on North Fork of Licking at mouth of Stroud's Run, 1785. WARING'S STATION: Mason Co, about two miles from Maysville, just west of Lexington Turnpike; settled Feb. 1785 by Col Thomas WARING. Roger W Waring was a pioneer,1796,of WILLIAMSBURG,Oh. WASHINGTON: Mason Co, 3 1/2 miles southwest of Maysville; settled by Simon Kenton by 1784; laid out as a town in 1786 by Rev. Wm WOOD and Arthur FOX, Sr. Arthur FOX'S LEE'S CREEK STATION,Dover,ky. HB FAGLEY If Manchester counts,then RICHARD GRAHAM's station on the river,east of Concord,ky, n Lewis co,should be mentioned. What was meant by the COLLINS writing "the middle trace" from MAYSVILLE TO LEXINGTON? i'LL GUESS THE EASTERN trace went via the UPPER BLUR LICKS,THE MIDDLE TRACE BY THE LOWER BLUE LICKS.
