This am,I write of a neighborhood ,on the rolling lands created by
Clover[lick]
creek and it's branches that was early settled-1800 era- because of the
better
drainage not found in the adjoining white oak swamps. An area roughly 5
miles
by 5 miles lying east of Rt 133, between Bethel and Williamsburg. Over
time,this little
area got cut up into 4 townships from the original Williamsburg
Twnsp,Clermont.
1805, part became the n e corner of Tate twnsp,Clermont, and from it was
cut
Clark twnsp, in Brown Co from 1818, and Pike Twnsp,Brown Co . So,I'm
always
looking at 2 counties histories and 2 atlases. And there were only
hamlets- Locust
Ridge,Hennings Mills [coontown] ,Clover, New Harmony, Yankeetown, and
just east,
Neal's Corner.A general store, and maybe a blacksmith shop. I'm still
hunting the Baptist
church of the area,assuming it was not at ,1807,Clover Methodist. This is
a neighborhood
of family cemetaries,and few church yards. I'm guessing exactly at Locust
Ridge Nursing
home was a Dunkard church,that became a tiny Chrishian church,burying in
the woods
to the rear. Clover,and then New Harmony Methodist churchyards, and maybe
another near
Neal's Corner.
Regardless,there are a bunch of us on-line with ancestors in that
area,and we are
lucky 4 genealogists,at least,lived there. Margaret Burgage,on the Brown
Co,Gen Soc,
library,and 3 from the 1950's Beech Forrest DAR. Mrs James Musgrove,and
dau,Hilda
Johnson Blakney, and Anna Dumford. Likely more.
Somebody is at the door
