I forget the surname Gillespie had for a Hosea. Hosea Moore was an important man in Adams Co,and lived east of West Union,on Ohio Brush Creek. [You at a distance-Ohio Brush Creek drains south several miles east of West Union,entering the Ohio River. East of it are BLUE CREEK,and Turkey Creek branches of Scioto Brush creek,draining east into the Scioto. Churn creek,and BLUE CREEK head up within short miles of the Ohio,but drain away from it,finally turning east. ] .My mother was a RUHAMA,so I remember HOSEA MOORE had a sister,RUHAMA,near Winchester, who had 15-20 kids. Rev Joseph Moore was on the latter,BLUE CREEK,starting Ohio's 1st Methodist church "building' about 1800, and later moving to the Ohio bottoms near Manchester. If Hosea Moore was Methodist,STONE CHAPEL was his church,e of WEST UNION. I just "UNSUBSCRIBE" from PAADAMS-L were I have anscestors,to rejoin OHADAMS-L where my wife has MAHAFFEY,WALKER,NEWMAN,[GIFFORD?] and another I forget. Plus,our Fagley's Fruit Farm market was on RT 125 between WEST UNION and Cincinnati,so I waited on Adams Co folk 40+ years. I remember one evening when I had 4 cars of customers,all from WEST UNION. The druggist,the Lafferty's,Les Laurens, and a 4th I forget. Many a Wayside Inn apple pie had our apples. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
