Some of them settled in Belmont County, and some went on to Delaware County, which is just north of Columbus and not that far from Seneca. I have a Rebecca Kilgore married to a John Criswell in York County, PA in 1816. Rebecca was a sister to Keziah Kilgore who married George Wise in York County in 1812. I also have two deeds which documented land transactions in Delaware County, Ohio between a Robert Criswell and John and Mary (Wise) Alexander in 1836. Mary (Wise) Alexander was George Wise's niece. In the deeds Robert Criswell is identified as being from Peach Bottom Township in York County, Pennsylvania. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
