My GGGrandfather was born abt. 1843, although some report it was 1854, so give or take 10+ yrs. Anyway, his daughter wrote that he was born in Central College, Franklin County, Ohio. Does anyone know what township this place would have been located in? I can't find a Central College on the map. Thanks.
Hi Diane, I found an area listed as Central College in Blendon twp.....just below the Hoover Dam area. If you need any additional information ...just ask.

Diane, Central College is in Blendon Township between Sunbury Road and Walnut Creek, south of Hoover Dam. I've uploaded a portion of the Franklin County map that shows it.
