• Notes

  History of Columbiana County, Ohio; St. Clair.; page 229; copyprovided by Betty Wooten. Original possessed by Mrs. Carrie Keylor;120 E. Friend St., Columbiana, Ohio 44408 In 1797, John Totten settled in what is now Liverpool, where also inthe same year Isaac Matson located, upon section 32. Closely following them, James Caruthers settled upon section 28,where James McCoy now has a farm, and John George, with his two sons -William and Thomas, - upon the "Buck Flats." Here they cleared andimproved a considerable tract of land, but failed to enter it at theland-office at once, thinking there would be ample time to do thatafter they had got matters into good shape. Their delay proved fatalto their interests, however, since a designing person, noting theirfailure and thinking to profit by the neglect, entered the land anddispossessed the Georges of the fruits of their arduous toil. It was a bitter pill, and they protested vehemently against theoutrage, but there was no redress. Pretty well discouraged, butresolved to push ahead once more, they took up the northwest quarterof section 29, now occupied by L. Ross, and having learned wisdom,duly entered it.
