If we stop and think - these men met 206 years ago and yet when we work on our family genealogy, they are as alive and real to us as if they were still working away.. They worked hard to manage the county affairs that formed the basis of current day Warren Co (or any county). They worried about settling on the wrong lands, laying out the roads (many of which are now the major streets we zoom along daily); they taught the bound children skills like farming which skills are still in use .... makes one stop and think doesn't it?
