    3. Hi Lois, Perhaps I can be of some help. Have you seen the Granville area cemeteries on the web? Go to my home page and check the links: http://www.kinfinder.com. As far as I know there never was an Alexandria Twp. Alexandria village was/is located in St. Albans Twp. Don't be confused by the fact that there is a Maple Grove Cemetery in Alexandria and a different Maple Grove Cemetery in Granville. Have you seen or do you have a copy of "Granville, the Story of an Ohio Village" by William T. Utter? On pp. 78 I found: "Eleazer Clemons, of whom little else is known, had the distinction of being the first villager to manufacture an exportable product. He was as wood turner by trade and in 1807 set up a lathe operated by a small water wheel on Clear Run. He produced wooden plates, porringers, bowls, salt mortars, and similar articles in great variety." Let me know if you have further questions.
