Your favor of
Oct.l^th
rec^. In reply
would
that the following
is
a
full and
complete
answer
to
your
s e v e r a l q uestio ns as I am able to make.
(Query l)
y
Grandparents.
Henry and
Elizabeth
Sherwood,
lived in
that part of Maryland then called the eastern shores of Maryland
and near Tuckahoe Creek. I
do
not remember either county or
t o w n
(Query 2)
y Uncles, Samuel and
William Sherwood, I believe
were
older
than father and probably lived and died
in
Maryland, as did
also my Aunt Lydia. I
do
not think that she ever married. y
only knowledge of the family in Maryland is from
recollection
of hearing
my
father
speak of
them
,
until
he died
when
I
was
a lad of about 17. y uncle Jonathan Sherwood, when but a young
man, in attempting to cross Tuckahoe Creek in a small boat, was
accidently
thrown
out and
was drowned,
being unable to save
him
self on
account of having on a
heavy
overcoat at the time.
(Query 3) y Mother- Dorcas Bradway's parents
were
John and Abigal
Bradway
of (I think)
Salem Co. New
Jersey, who
removed
to
Columbia
now a part of Cincinnnat)
Ohio
in about the year 180^.
(Query ^)
y
brother
Isaac

born
in Turtlecreek

Warren
Co.,
Ohio,

7th
1800?
died
November

HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.
BELIGIODS SOCIETIES AND CHUBCHE9.
The Friends were the
first
to
organize
intoa
society.
In 1800,
Ezekiel
Cleaver, with others, came with their families from
Virginia
to Red Stone,
now
Brownsville, in Pennsylvania,
and
the families remained there, and Cleaver
(and
perhaps some
others)
came to Waynesville
and
erected a
large
log house
on the east corner of Miami
and
Third streets,
resting
on
large
logs cut
and
placed in the
ground
endway and returnedeto their families. In the spring of
,1801.
Cloavm-moved here. _ l tti j
Previous to
1803.
the Friends organized a society, a committee of rnends
coming from Red Stone to sit
with
them, aswas then and
I believe
still their
custom. After
the
organization, meetings
for
worship were held
at thedifior-
ent
family
residences
until
1805.
when
they
built
a
substantial
log meeting
house,where the house of the OrthodoxFriends now is.
2
David Brown was appointed
a
committee
to
build
the
house. The
records
of the
Friends show
that he built it. put in a
stove
and
fenced
in the
grave
yard
and received
as
a
compensation
for building and
completing
the house,
fes.SS;
the stove, 35.93,
and
for fencing in the graveyard, 19.
The Friends
got
the title to their
grounds
in 1808. David Pugh, Benja
min
Evans.
Isaac Mills. David Homer, Samuel
Test
and
Benjamin Hopkins,
were
made
trustees
in the
deed.
A
committee
was
appointed
to examine the
title,
consisting of Joel Wright.
Joseph Canby, Mordecai Walker, John
Hames,
Abij ah O Neall. Isaac
Ward
and George C. Ward. on
*
n In May 1811.
they
determined to
build
a brick
meeting-house, 4UxnU
feet,
one story,
and appointed
Asher Brown
and
Joseph
Evans, managers, and,
in
August following, considered the
propriety of building
two
stones,
and Jona
than
Crispin
was
appointed an additional manager. In February, lolz, re
ported
expenses
were 1 195.13
and
probably
expense,
to
complete
lower
story
for use, 400. i a i j. i
In May,
1812,
Noah Haines, Chairman of the committee,
reported
total
expenses, 1,278.45. o ^ i xi.
In
1813,
a
committee
was
appointed
todraft a plan
and finish
the upper
part
of
the
house,
consisting
of John
Stubbs, Levi Cook Joseph Evans, Tlmmag
Sherwood. Asher Brown.
John Sattertiwaite
and Isaac Stubbs, which they^did
aTa cost of about
250,
making a total cost of a little more than 1,500.
David Evans and wife were the first couple married there.
In
the year 1870,
the house was
repaired
and remodeled,
leaving
but
little
of the original architectnre and giving it
the
appearance of a
one-stOTy
build
ing, with a small
gallery on
the
east side,
at an expense
of over
2,000.
In a
division
of the
society
in
about 1828,
the
orthodox branch, which
was
in theminority withdrew and
thoy
repaired
the
old log house, which
was badly
rotted, where
they
worshiped until
1835
or
1886, when
the
old log
house was
taken
down
and the present
structure
erected.
The Friends Graveyard on
their
premises
in
Waynesville
was
the
first regular
graveyard
in
the
township.
A log meeting-house
was
erected
by
the Baptists on
the
farm
of
Jane Car
man,
on
the
road
from
here to
Dayton,
at an early day. I have
been
informed
about the year 1814. j . -o t v
xr-
A freemeeting-housewas builtonthe
farm now
owned byRev.
John Hisey,
in east Wayne Township, in 1817,
by
subscription.
As
I have a copy
of
said
subscription paper,
I
here
give it,
with
the original orthography:

Hunting was a favorite pastime with the early settlers and they sometimes
had regularly organized bear and deer hunts. The
country
was notified of the
day the hunt was to take
place,
and of the different stations at
which
each set
tlement would meet. T h e h un te rs w ou ld fo rm a cu-cle an d advance toward th e
center driving the game
before
them by making a general din with bells
horns shouts etc. At a preconcerted signal a general rash for the center and
a brisk firing
began,
which usually resulted in
more
hilarity than
game.
Another favorite piistime
was
the squim-l hunt. Whenthis wasdetermined
upon,
a
meeting was called. Captains elected. Judges chosen
to
assure
a fair
count and the men divided into two
companies.
A day was then sot. usually
about a month ahead on which they would meet to count scalps and. in the
intervening
time,
each manwould bunt asmuch, and
secure
as
many
scalps, as
possible. The
hunters usually
staked a bushel
of
com
or its equivalent
on their
prowess,
and.
when the scalps were
counted,
the winning side
took
all the
grain wagered. The
squirrel
scalps included both ears and in the
score
counted
one; ha ks and owls each counted
two.
and others birds one.
Another favorite and successful mode of killing was by watching th e licks
which woro moist or boggy places and
.sometimes
springs posses.sed of strong
saline qualities. To these places game of all kinds would repair nightly to lick
the salty banks, and the hunter lying in
ambush,
could
.shoot
them
down
at
pleasure.
Wild turkeys were trapped in well-baited
pens, erected for
the
purpose,
with a neatly constructed trap door in the bottom.
The
social
games of the
pioneers
were
such
as combined pleasui-e with
profit.
Among
these
ivere the log-roUin^, for which the
men were divided into
two sections and each tried to excel the other in the number of logs cut and
rolled from the land. The last one o f these held in this section was in 1867,
on the farm of the writer at Springhill . For this there were seventeen acres
ready
cut
into lengths
of
from
twelve to
sixteen feet; and
forty-two
men,
old
and young, worked
faithfully
and cheerfully, though the day was
showery
and
uncomfortable. Notfinishing the clearing on the first day, twenty-four of the
men returned the next day and completed the work. The writer will ever re
tain a grateful remembrance of the kindness of his
neighbors
on that occasion.
In
pioneer
days, there being
n inclosed
fields,
except
those
devoted
to
raising crops, the domestic animals
were
allowed
torunat
large. Hogs
lived
on the mast of the forest and fattened rapidly. When the killing season rolled
around the settlers with employed help would hunt down and kill their hogs
in the woods, drag or haul them home, and there scald scrape and cut them up
f or w i nt r use.
An account is given us of two children aged
five
and three years, whowere
lost at different times about 1808 or 1809. Both were found by roiising the
settlements andmaking an organized search.
One
of these
was
named Nicholas
Bnms; the other was a child of
Nebo
Gaunt s.
Many of the emigrants from Virginia had full
faith
in witchcraft, and,
when
the writer was quite a small boy, he listened to their stories about the
operations of witches at Wizzard
Clip until
his hair stood erect and
he
clung
to them for
protection.

built
in
1881, byW. W. Ingraliam, a stoam
saw-mill
of large capacity
for cus
tom
and general work. The railroad
officials
have built a side track to it, and
considerable
quantities of sawed lumber
are shipped
from that
point
The
villac C
of Hammel
was
laid out abotit the time the
railroad was con
structed (in ife and
took the
name of its
proprietor.
It is on
the
Miami,
opposite Millgrove and two
miles
below
Fort Ancient, and-contains a
few
families wh o
aa o engac^od in agricultural
pursuits. There
is a
good district
schoolhouse there, at which the various
religious
denominations have
occasional
services. The
bottom
lands at thisplace
comprise
about
100
acres. A
number
of large
human skeletons
have
been exhumed
there. , ^
There
arc no other
villages
inthe township, buteach school district has its
distinctive name, as Oak Grove, Springhill, SilverGrove, etc.
MILIT RY
Among
the early settlers of this township, agoodly number of Kevohi-
tionaty soldiers, and those who served in
the
war of
1812,
appe^. They have
been named
as far
as possible,
though
doubtless some have
escaped
my inquiries.
No
soldiers
ofthewar of
1812 are known
to be
living
in the township.
An attempt was
made,
at the
beginning
of the Mexican war, to re-organize
themilitia in this
township,
but the effort met with ridicule,
and,
of wmse,
was a failure. David B.
Glasscock
and James D. Wallace were the only
two
from
this
township known
to be in that struggla ^ t

volunteers
from 1861
to the
close
ofthe
war,
