Kathy, I don't know why Wesley wasn't mentioned in the article. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't more said about Waterford twp. Other townships of "early Washington Co." that became part of other counties were not mentioned either. If the article were to be written today, I'm sure the author would consider ALL townships. Remember this was written in 1938. If you notice some of the punctuation's are not correct. For example: the author didn't put a ' when making the surname plural. Duh!!! Articles written today would be more correct. lol But, this newspaper of the 150th anniversary is "loaded" with lots of historical and genealogy info. I have just begun to extract some of the articles. Hopefully I'll find something that pretains to Wesley twp. Most of the smaller articles, I will be putting in my monthy newsletter. The larger ones like this one, I have to put my family history page, because it is more that the newsletter article space allows. The articles that I have extracted from the paper so far, that will be in April's newsletter are: 1. BROTHER OF DANIEL BOONE KILLED OPPOSITE MARIETTA 2. NEWPORT ONE OF EARLIEST SETTLEMENTS 3. INDIANS IN AREA CAUSED INSECURITY 4. BOY ESCAPED MASSACRE AT BIG BOTTOM 5. TRADITIONS DIFFER ON HOW WATERTOWN RECEIVED NAME Debbie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathy" <gregory@rh.net> To: <OHWASHIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, March 19, 2004 9:10 PM Subject: Re: [OHWASH] Early Settlers of Wash.
