Jean, I hope that I am right ! Is Quaker Bottom south of Athalia? If it is I can remeber when I was a child traveling south of that area my parents talking about the fruit orchards that used to be in the area.

Hi Mike, Honestly, I believe that Quaker Bottom was in Rome Township, and that it was filled with wonderful farms and orchards. The dirt there was very rich from occasional flooding of the Ohio River. Nelson Cox was my great great grandfather. He owned property in Windsor Township and Union Township. His house was in Windsor Township. His farm was always considered a "hill farm." I'm wondering if it was a misstatement to state that he was from Quaker Bottom. Perhaps someone else can straighten us out. Thanks! - Jean -----Original Message----- From: michael trowbridge [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 3:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OHLAWREN] Nelson Cox's Fruit Stand Jean, I hope that I am right !
