Beginning of Modern History

The Northwest Territory, which included the area that became the state of Ohio, was first formed in 1783 as a territorial government under General Arthur St. Clair. He formed, by proclamation, Fairfield County on 9 December 1800, and Knox County (named after Revolutionary War General Henry Knox) was organized from that area and declared a separate county in February 1808.

Hi Carole,

we usually don't list cemeteries in location category pages, since they can be tagged with the township category when the category is created. (They should not be created unless a profile is added and tagged with that cemetery, so we don't have empty categories.) Perhaps either list the cemeteries on this page under the appropriate township, or add a cemeteries section listing them. (as the Texas project did here:https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Smith_County%2C_Texas).

Regards, Natalie, Categorization
