Question

What are the requirements or guidelines for an "Early Settlers" category for counties in the United States?

Comments

Many States have established their own guidelines in determining who can be or is classified as whatever early settler term they use. In those States, I believe it is WikiTree policy to follow guides established by the State. Ohio is one such state.

Answer 1

Each state has one or more "Lineage Societies" that set their standards for "Early Settlers".

If you are looking for information for Ohio then Google "lineage society Ohio" you should get links to pages that can help you. 

I found OGS Lineage Societies: General Information

Hi Susan.  Sorry for the late response.  I've been neck-deep in a mystery.   Thank you for the info.  That's exactly what I was looking for.
