On This Date in 1817 ...

March 8, 1817, Saturday - This day was a rainy day, Today Ephraim McBride mov'd from Lebanon to the Roben Denny farm, Today Betsy Baxter departed this life. I believe with old age, she was the Mother of Patience Runyon who joined this Society in 1813, her Mother came here to stay a little while with her daughter, and being so old and feble she slipped off; she never joined this Society.

March 1810 - ...an entire new Family established at the fraim house Joseph Runyon with a very large family and John Bryant and his family and in the fall James Congleton and his family from Bourbon Co all three make quite a respectable Family.
