Who was Symmes Creek named for?

"Symmes Creek was named for John Cleave Symmes. Harrison, Tupper, and Symmes were en route up the Ohio River on horse back to attend the court of common pleas at Gallipolis and high water stopped them below the creek. J.C. Symmes cut his name on a big beech tree, and thus named the creek." pg. 90.
