MY WEST CENTRAL OHIO PIONEERS

MY WEST CENTRAL OHIO PIONEERS


Following is the surnames of ancestors who migrated from various states and eastern or mid-Ohio counties to west central Ohio, from Shelby and Champaign Counties up to the Allen-Hardin Counties line to within a couple miles on either side of that border. I spent most of my life in Hardin County but worked and married for a time in Logan County. I now live in Middle Tennessee but 2/3 of my generation and the one below me still live in Hardin and Logan Counties - a span of more than 200 years!
