Nancy and Chocy, Since I found all three families in each place until 1840 I decided to poke around a little more. Neighbors to the Hites, Spitlers, and Henry's in Fairfield and Pickaway Co. I found more - Corder and Ritter neighbors. This is sooooo fun. Once again, queries proved unsuccessful due to the spelling. The Henry Corder in the 1830 census for Pickaway Co., OH was there in 1820. The Ritters are enumerated in Fairfield Co., OH in 1820 right next door to several Hites and Jacob Spitler with a female 45+ (- probably wife Nancy Henry from Shenandoah). Pickaway Co., OH, 1820 Census, Harrison Twp. Henery Cerdor - 1 male 1-10, 1 male 16-26, 1 male 26-45, 1 female 0-10, 1 female 26-45, 1 female 45+ Fairfield Co., OH 1820 Census, Violet Twp. John Ritter - 1 male 0-10, 1 male 26-45, 1 female 16-26 Fairfield Co., OH 1820 Census, Pleasant Twp. 2 males 0-10, 1 male 10-16, 1 male 16-26, 1 male 26-45, 1 female 16-26, 1 female 26-45, 1 female 45+ Hope something here eventually leads to more answers.
