ok…here’s some more speculation:
FACT:
Jacob Light Founded New Richmond, OH
Probably bought land in Randolph Twp, Dearborn Co. in 1814
New Richmond is on Robert Beal’s survey of 1000 acres and David Jackson’s survey of 333 acres. 1804 – Jacob Light purchases the Jackson survey and lays out the town of New Richmond on 85 acres. Divided into [...]
Trying out a little google map showing her path from birth to death. I’m trying to figure out to use the google map for visual aid in showing where people lived. This one still needs a little work.

Go down this page to John Hull Rardin obit and there’s a bit about a catherine Light his mother Catherine Light ( Daughter of Jacob and Catherine Light) who was from Clermont County and moved to Coles County. This is the same route I suspect James Whitney and Ruth Light took. It’s another [...]
Opposed to War.
this link is just interesting for the background about Greasy Point Coles County. That is where Joseph Golliday (oliver Whitney’s stepfather ) once lived with his first wife. It also features a family where the wife has the name Light and might be a relative of Ruth. It also confirms movement between Clermont [...]
Well, today I got my packet of info on Joseph Golliday’s will. In the words of the people from the Nebraska State Historical Society ” the quality of the prints is regrettably very poor”. The originals were apparently quite faded when microfilmed and the film itself has not held up well. The [...]

Cordelia in 1920. I just found it interesting that
these Fink children ended up with
Jacob [...]

here’s another version of the murder trial of William “Crazy” Miller.
“Now an old timer has come to our rescue and tells of what was, without
a possibility of a doubt, the first grand jury session in the county.
Deacon H. D. Jayne has given us the facts of that historical court

It was held in September 1880, [...]

I am finding that the info on Dorcas parents is messy out there on the web. Her father William Hiram Blair and mother Elizabeth Black are pretty well documented. HOWEVER, William is getting confused with another William Blair. So our William’s birth and death info is often probably wrong. Ours seems to have been born [...]
