Not a stone of Seneca County history is left unturned. The chapters include many names of people involved with the subject being discussed: archeology (Indian mounds, fossils, etc.), Indians (Senecas, Shawnees, Wyandots, Delawares, Tecumseh), pioneers (Moravians, old time incidents, customs), political history, physicians, the press, military history (including the rolls of Seneca County soldiers in the Civil War), societies, railroads, banks and insurance. Each township is featured in its own chapter, which is broken down into sections dealing with development, early settlers (much genealogical data is included here, such as place of origin, maiden names, and names of children), post offices and post masters, churches, schools, cemeteries, etc. and often includes lists of officials. A separate biographical section is particularly rich in family history, and is followed by an indispensable list of original land entries. A new, detailed index has been added, which includes every name mentioned in the historical section, and surnames in the land entries section; in the biographical section, individuals with articles are identified as such and the \"buried\" names are also listed. In an effort to offer this book to our customers in the most economical form, we have omitted the first 184 \"boiler-plate\" pages of the original book, which consisted of the \"History of the Northwest Territory\" and the \"History of the State of Ohio;\" thus, our edition begins on page 185 and focuses solely on Seneca County, still \"weighing in\" at over 1,000 pages!

Although the Treaty of Paris formally ended the American Revolution, it threw the entirety of the Ohio country into chaos as bands of Indians supplied with British arms attacked settlements all over the frontier. After an introductory chapter culminating in the expedition of Gen. \"Mad\" Anthony Wayne against the warring tribes, the text expands on the social, ecclesiastical, academic and industrial development of the county from the War of 1812 through July, 1880. The text is replete with biographical sketches of notable citizens, professional men, clergy, teachers, lawyers, judges and politicians, often noting family members and accompanied by portraits. Chapters cover a diverse array of topics including: the Battle of the Thames; the death of Tecumsah; wars between the Wyandots and the Senecas; early settlers; killing witches; immigration of the Seneca; the first post office; the first jail; the first election; a biography of Gov. Edward Tiffin; forest culture; the first frame houses and stores; churches; banks; the Bench and Bar; the Toledo War and much more. Many incidents of the War of 1812 are related in detail. A number of lists are also included, enumerating members of the Old Pioneers Association, county officers, Masons, Seneca County soldiers in the War of the Rebellion and others. Individual chapters are devoted to the townships of Adams, Big Spring, Bloom, Clinton, Eden, Hopewell, Jackson, Liberty, Loudon, Pleasant, Reed, Scipio, Seneca, Thompson and Venice.

This volume in the Family Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners (patent maps) in what is now Seneca County, Ohio, gleaned from the indexes of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. But it offers much more than that. For each township in the county, there are two additional maps accompanying the patent map: a road map and a map showing waterways, railroads, and both modern and many historical city-centers and cemeteries. Included are indexes to help you locate what you are looking for, whether you know a person's name, a last name, a place-name, or a cemetery. The combination of maps and indexes are designed to aid researchers of American history or genealogy to explore frontier neighborhoods, examine family migrations, locate hard-to-find cemeteries and towns, as well as locate land based on legal descriptions found in old documents or deeds. The patent-maps are essentially plat maps but instead of depicting owners for a particular year, these maps show original landowners, no matter when the transfer from the federal government was completed. Dates of patents typically begin near the time of statehood and run into the 1900s, some as late as the 2000s. This book is constructed to last with a plastic spiral binding, acid-free paper, and a tough, laminated cover.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGregory A.
