This am,I write of a neighborhood ,on the rolling lands created by Clover[lick] creek and it's branches that was early settled-1800 era- because of the better drainage not found in the adjoining white oak swamps. An area roughly 5 miles by 5 miles lying east of Rt 133, between Bethel and Williamsburg. Over time,this little area got cut up into 4 townships from the original Williamsburg Twnsp,Clermont. 1805, part became the n e corner of Tate twnsp,Clermont, and from it was cut Clark twnsp, in Brown Co from 1818, and Pike Twnsp,Brown Co . So,I'm always looking at 2 counties histories and 2 atlases. And there were only hamlets- Locust Ridge,Hennings Mills [coontown] ,Clover, New Harmony, Yankeetown, and just east, Neal's Corner.A general store, and maybe a blacksmith shop. I'm still hunting the Baptist church of the area,assuming it was not at ,1807,Clover Methodist. This is a neighborhood of family cemetaries,and few church yards. I'm guessing exactly at Locust Ridge Nursing home was a Dunkard church,that became a tiny Chrishian church,burying in the woods to the rear. Clover,and then New Harmony Methodist churchyards, and maybe another near Neal's Corner. Regardless,there are a bunch of us on-line with ancestors in that area,and we are lucky 4 genealogists,at least,lived there. Margaret Burgage,on the Brown Co,Gen Soc, library,and 3 from the 1950's Beech Forrest DAR. Mrs James Musgrove,and dau,Hilda Johnson Blakney, and Anna Dumford. Likely more.
