Two responses to different posts: Re: Ohio migration A large area of Ohio, between the Scioto River and the Little Miami River were given to Virginia to pay for service in the War of 1812. This area is known as the Virginia Military Survey. It is in counties such as Adams, Highland, Clinton, Union, Logan, Pickaway, Scioto and many others. Many of the people who received these warrants used them, while others simply sold them to people interested in moving west. The area had also been visited my many military men in the course of that war and the battles with the Indians (Dunsmore's War, Wayne's campaign). I think upon seeing the area, they decided after the war to move to the area. Re: Gaddis No I have not seen the article from the Advocate newspaper and would love to see it. If you can copy it, I would be happy to pay any photocopy and delivery charges. I did not mention that many of the family that I named in my earlier post were buried in the Gaddis Cemetery, Wilmington, Clinton Co., OH. This is a small family cemetery that is still rather well maintained.
