I thought Vinton was a spin off of Jackson CO, and actually was part of Washington CO, when Ohio became a state in 1803.I know Vinton was one of the last counties formed. I dont know who MR/MISS?MRS Vinton was . Bobby Vinton was popular in the 1960s.When I moved to SC I moved to the red rose co.Three Co s in SC have their roots back to the WAR of THe Roses (England) Pa does too. Lancaster, Chester ,York.But could someone go back over Vinton. I know part of it borders Athens, and Jackson Co. My grandfather taught school in Ray and that is almost in Athens Co.my grandfather was a lot better versed on Vinton Co than I am. I took OH history also in grade 8.During Century 20.I m not afraid to give an approx date, James Fish
