"Bull Creek" forms the current border with Pleasants County. This creek joins the Ohio River just above Waverly. Bull Creek splits into "Right Fork" and "Left Fork". There are no other towns along the Creek. In 1811, the border may have been different. The program I use to look up these old county border changes has just decided not to work, so I can't be more specific at the moment. The Wood County side would be in Union Magisterial District. One of my old maps has names of property owners, but none of the ones you list. Bills is a popular name in Pleasants County, mostly they live just above St. Marys. Hope this helps.

Can anyone tell me where this is, or which towns or cities it is located at. My ancestors were there by 1811, according to land tax records. My ancestors were BILLS, CAMPBELLS, ENOCH(S), KUNTZ (or COON, KUNE, etc.) Are there any good history books of this area, that are older? I have already checked the Journals of George Washington that are online, and found he did the surveying of many of the people in this area, in case others are researching there also.
