        Daniel Dunham & family apparently arrived in Washington Co OH in 1789. However, there are indications that he/they might have been there a year earlier.

        Rufus Putnam and the first Marietta settlers from MA and RI took the old road across southern PA to Pittsburg and then came down the Ohio River. Persons fro CT who were going to Ohio's Western Reserve used lakes and rivers to get to Buffalo, NY. They eventually followed the shoreline of Lake Erie to get to northern OH and Cleveland.

        Cemetery which may have been moved to Rockland. Cemetery copied about
        1935 by people not familiar with this type of thing as there is a note
