They lived in Wayne Co., NC until 1804 when the female side of the family (wife
Lydia, dau. Leah, and her two daus.-in-law (wives of Samuel and William), and
their 3 daus. between them, all requested certificates for Concord MM in
Jefferson Co., Ohio, on the eastern border of Ohio, near Steubenville. There
is no notation of the husbands and sons making the same request, but we assume
they did and the entire family moved. This was about 10 years before Aaron and
Jehoshaphat moved to Washington Co., IN. Benjamin possibly may have died to
trigger this movement, but perhaps not. Benjamin and Lydia had 4 children.
