> Robin,
> When it was formed in 1810, part of Fayette was taken out of Fairfield
township of Highland. Highland was formed in 1805, mostly from Ross county.I
don't think there were any changes to their common borders after that.
> There are Paint townships in Fayette, Ross and Highland counties. No
surprise, since Paint Creek flows through the first two and is the border
between the last two.
> In Fayette, Paint Twp. is in the far northern part, where the creek
originates. In Highand and Ross, they are on opposite sides of the creek.
> Don't doubt that entire families didn't move all at once. My Taylor's
owned land up and down Paint Creek in these three counties back then. Trying
to figure out which are mine is about as difficult as the Smith's, I'm sure.
In fact, Edward Taylor married Mary Smith around 1815 in Fayette. I think he
is my ancestor, but probably with his first wife.
