Walt, I was interested in your reference to the migration pattern from Lancaster, PA to Clermont Co, OH: " We do not know that Timothy Conner, my 3rd Great Grandfather, was born in Lancaster. We only know that he was born in "PA". Our Conner family was closely associated with the Jacob Light family in Clermont Co., OH, in the early 1800s and we are only guessing that the families may have known, been associated with each other, before coming to OH. The Lights were in Lancaster, once owning the area where Churchtown, PA, is located, then Westmoreland Co. and finally Allegheny Co., before coming to OH." I am researching the HERRON family that followed this pattern. From a family biography of the John and Rebecca CLARK(E) HER(R)ON family: "It was, (I think) in 1790 that they reached Philadelphia, and went immediately to lands in Pennsylvania, previously purchased with reference to farming or to coal and iron. John Heron's portion fell in Lancaster County. Glowing accounts of the new Northwest Territory had for years been traveling eastward, and in 1816 John HERRON determined to remove thither. With his family he crossed the mountains in the great Conestoga wagons of that time, and took raft at Pittsburgh for Cincinnati. In accordance with previous arrangement with former neighbors he found his way to Clermont County, and purchased a farm near the Ohio River, where he passed the remainder of his life." While I have not been able to determine where in Lancaster County the HERRONs settled, this biography and Bible records make reference to New Richmond in Clermont County.
