    3. We ate last night at Lake Manor,US Rr 68,and Ohio RT 774,between Mt Orab and Grant Lake. Because Starling Rd had just been tarred and chipped, we detoured over roads I haven't been on in many years. We went,en route, thru Locust Ridge hamlet, and Oakland Rd. Along it,we passed Shiloh Church, evidently namesake of nearby New Harmony-Shiloh Rd. It does not appear on my 1876 atlas,but the Surrey family does,so I suppose that neighborhood was called Surreyville. When we came out on RT 774 just west of Grant Lake,and Grant Lake Rd, there was 'no" frame church there that my failing memory thought was Shiloh church, a stop on the Underground RR after Clover schoolhouse on RT 133 in Clermont Co. After a nice dinner,we returned via RT 774, past the Warner cemetary that has been recently mentioned here. It's a well tended about 1 acre cemetary in the middle of no where. Too big to have been 1 family's cemetary. Either it was a churchyard pre 1876,or a township's cemetary. Then at Neal's Corner,we turned on Bethel-New Hope Rd past the winery. That becomes Spring Grove Rd in Clermont. Georgetown in about 1818. The highway between 1798 Bethel,and 1802 era West Union passed well north of Georgetown. It may have passed via White Oak Valley Rd and Wahlsburg, or maybe Bethel-New Hope Rd. Regardless,with new Georgetown in 1818,a new highway was rerouted,starting at the east edge of Bethel. In Adams Co, one sees portions of 'the Old State Rd". It ran south of Arnheim,where the paper town of Bridgewater was on Straight Creek. I was surporized how well drained the land along Bethel-New Hope Rd is. It must have been settled early. It has low survey numbers.
