<<1. Storrs Twp. is mentioned only briefly, it is known to have existed and
Price
Hill was apparently part of Storrs. Anyone with any information?
2. Ford's History doesn't not cover Cincinnati Twp., one of the 3
original.
This must be covered in the History of Cincinnati (the city).>>

Cincinnati Twp, I believe, was obsorbed by by the city limits downtown.
Looking at a map showing Ranges and Twp.#.s, it appears as a tiny piece of
land on the riverfront downtown.??

>From Hamilton County Ohio Recorder's Office Township Books....
Cincinnati Twp. (formed 1791
Township #4, Fractional Range 1, Sections 11,12,17,18,23,24,

Storrs Twp. (formed 1835; west of Cincinnati; annexed to City of Cinti
1869.
Twp. #4 Fractional Range 1, Sections 29, 30, 34-36.
I think Storrs gave up it's area to City of Cincinnati and Delhi Twp.??

<< Nor does Ford state what township Colerain was derived in 1794. Was it
from Cincinnati Twp?>>

Colerain was an original twp. and was not derived from another??

<<3. Neither does Ford state where Anderson or Whitewater came from. It
also
appears they may have been original townships as well, although not
established
at the same time as Cincinnati, Columbia & Miami? Miami Twp. only appears
to
have gone as far west as the Great Miami, Whitewater Twp. was on the west
bank
of that river.>>

Anderson is east of Little Miami River and was part of the Virginia
Military District formed in 1793, measured by metes and bounds.
Whitewater was part of the Congress lands west of Great Miami R. It
formed in 1803, and Crosby was cut out of it' north in 1804. Harrison Twp.
formed from part of Whitewater and Crosby in 1853.

Someone else may have corrections or more to add.
