The underground railroad stations mentioned are in Colerain Township in Belmont County. Joshua Cope was probably the most prominent Underground Railroad Conductor in that part of Ohio. Cope's mill (known locally as Haynes' Mill) was on Martins Ferry Pike about 2 miles SE of Colerain. The runaways were hidden behind the millrace. It was the first stop on the Railroad after crossing the Ohio River at Martins Ferry. From Colerain, they went to Mount Pleasant which was a dominantly Quaker settlement. Colerain is only several miles from the Harrison County Line. The story of the Underground Railroad in Belmont County is well documented in the book, "Bonnie Belmont". Joshua Fox is buried at the Concord Meeting House near Colerain. His farm is located on Route 250 in Colerain. It is now known as Quaker Acres and is owned by a friend of mine.
