    3. Edward Morin came from Virginia and settled in the Ferguson settlement, near New Richmond. He was the father of Rodham Morin, who served under Wayne in 1794 against the Indians and who fell from a boat in 1830 at Cincinnati and was drowned. Captain Morin served in Harry Lee's light horse brigade. James Shaw served under General John Neville, and was at Trenton, Germantown and Brandywine. He came to Kentucky in 1790, and three miles from New Richmond purchased big tracts of land. His eldest son, Hon. John Shaw, lived in Clermont after 1800, and his father passed much of his time on the Ohio side of the river. Levi Tingley settled on Poplar creek in Tate in 1804, and two years later opened a tannery, which he carried on until his death in 1832. He was in the New Jersey troops. His sons were Jacob, who died at sea, and Benjamin, who was in the war of 1812. John Charles Tippet johntippet@cox.net
