Actually, the Rome Twnshp was there first, and the apples were developed there towards the end of the 19th century. My GG-uncle, L.A. Gossett, was one of the first growers that started selling them in his market. Which Faulkners and Hendersons are you researching? My GG-grandmother was a Henderson, and one of her daughters married a Faulkner.

Please respond to [email protected] eb.com I was just wondering if anyone would know how Rome Township got its name? Some of my family were known for their apples in Lawrence Co. and was just wondering if it was for the Rome Apple. Also, I am researching Faulkner's and Henderson's from this area. Is anyone else? Perhaps we can compare information.
