Ok, thanks. I had a couple things but I guess they were from OhGenWeb and not Rootsweb. This is a bit of what I had from an article: "Symmes Township was organized in 1820. George Pine, John C. Stewart. William G. Robinson and Silas Spurlock were the first settlers. Silas Spurlock made the first cabin in 1820. The first settlement was made at the mouth of Johns Creek, the next at Yates Fork on Buffalo. Other early settlers were: Constantine Handley, Thomas and John Wray, Caleb McDaniel, Benjamin and Solomon Nelson, George Irwin, William Burke and R. Cooper. The early settlers cleared most of the timber and killed or drove off most of the wild animals." Solomon Nelson mentioned above is the farthest back I've been able to get in my Nelson family. I believe Benjamin was his brother.
