I can help with a couple of questions: No. 5. Runaway School - My understanding is that there was a dispute about the school, and one group of people actually physically moved the building to a different location. I'll see if I can find out more on that. We have an annual Bennington Township School's Reunion the 4th Sunday in September. We still have a few attendees who went to the one-room schools, although none from Runaway currently. No. 7. Church in Hartford township - It was called "School Land Church" and was located on what is now called "School Lane Road". My family attended there in the late 1930's. An addition was made to the church prior to the move to the fairgrounds.

I have an 1875 Historical Atlas of Licking County Ohio. There should be copies available elsewhere, perhaps the library. In response to question No. 8 - Harvest church in Liberty township: there is a church symbol on the 1875 map at New Way, at the crossroads of what is today Sportsman Club Road and Louden St. No name is given. There is another church symbol where the present Liberty United Methodist church is located. There are two other symbols near Concord, again no names given.
