Jane, Doud, and Josephus, was born in Washington County, Penn., March 20, 
1819, and at the age of 15 came with his parents to Allen County. He married 
[illegible] Alison, who was born in Muskingum County, Sept. 21, 1826. Her 
parents, Alexander and Nancy Alison, came from Zanesville to this county in 
1833. The children of George W. and [illegible] Goble are Ebenezer B., Allen

Ford owned the first saw mill and grist mill in the township. When water 
failed the grist mill was run by horse-power.
