• Notes

  Joseph and his family got a certificate to Miami Co., Ohio from Bush River MM, SC on Aug. 30, 1806. Joseph was the founder of the West Milton, Ohio according to that town's Sesquicetenial Celebration. He purchased the land in section 21e purpose of creating a village. He divided it into 2 main streets and 62 lots which he sold to it's earliest members. He built the 2nd mill on Stillwater and was an industrious Quaker. He was such an astute business man among ones that were called "Quaker Aristocrats" about the time they were disowned according to a adendum to the "Annals of Newberry." (C-236)
