"David and Patsey were "natives of Virginia. Emigrating westward they located in Waynesville, Warren Co Ohio where together with other Quaker families they settled in the spring of 1802. They rode on horseback into the township of Caesars Creek and settled about one-half mile north of Paintersville, altho there was no town there at that time and this portion of the country was known as the North West Territory. There in the midst of the forest", David "cleared a little patch of ground, planted potatoes and corn, and built a cabin. In the fall David and Patsey returned but left their children Jesse and Hannah in this county. It required a close watch to keep the Indians from stealing Hannah because she was the first white child they ever saw. In the spring the parents returned and spent their remaining days upon the old homestead which was here developed." [Page 17 THE PAINTER FAMILY by Harold Painter 1975]
