    3. This is what is called thinking out loud. Someone with and OLD atlas might look these up. In transcribing some information from Leon BOLENDER noticed an interesting piece of information. Stephen and Margaret SHENKLE-BOLENDER were living in Brush Valley, Northumberland Co., Pennsylvania before coming to Clermont and Brown County, Ohio. Stephen and 2nd wife bought land in Clermont Co., in 1802. They lived in or near, Lewis twp. Jacob METZGER and wife Mary BUCH/DREISBACH lived in Buffalo Valley, Northumberland Co., Pennsylvania. Jacob moved to Ross Co., Ohio and is buried there, but his son Conrad and wife Margaret BAUM bought land in Clermont Co., in 1806 and ended up near or in Lewis township. Conrad's Daughter Delilah married Thomas TOWNSLEY had a daughter Rebecca who married Jacob BOLANDER. They were of the Dunkard Faith. Question #1. The families knew each other in Nouthumberland Co., Pennsylvania????? Question #2. Good idea to look for the TOWNSLEYs in Northumberland Co., Pennsylvania, also. Question #3. Were the TOWNSLEY's of the Dunkard Faith also??? Exact detail is not the point of these "thoughts" (such as exact dates, etc.) June
