Note 2:
"One of the principal points of origin of migration into Miami County, and the adjacent Miami Valley area of Ohio in the first decade of the 19th Century was the state of New Jersey. Many interrelated family groups made the trek from the areas around Rahway and Elizabeth, NJ, mostly in Essex and Union counties, sometimes via Madison county, KY, and Cincinnati, OH. Most of these early settlers took up farming in Staunton, Springcreek and Lost Creek townships. Here are some of the surnames of which I am aware, simply because they appear in my own genealogy data base: Carey, Clark, Clawson, Frazee, Marsh, Mills, Winans, Woodruff. Many of these settlers were Methodists. Several of my ancestors were said to have been buried in the Raper Methodist Episcopal Chapel's graveyard, which is located on the east bank of the Miami River, along the old Troy-Piqua Pike. ^[1]
