Personal Notes of Sept 3, 2006 (GAS):
After a considerable amount of research on Joseph and Mary Ann Petty I have come to these somewhat indefinite conclusions.  First, there is no mention of Mary Ann in Ohio.  At the same time, ther is no mention that Joseph is a widower either, which I think may have been the custom at the time.  There is no real mention of him with his children either though they were there.  It also appears that Joseph's last address was in Reading Twp, Fairfield (now, Perry) Co., Ohio.  This would give some credence to the Jemima/Solomon marriage which allegedly took place at "the old Petty farm."  That farm being the one in Champaign County and where Joseph set up his mill (read below).

Pickaway County Ohio History EARLY SETTLERSAs Jackson township was included in the Virginia Military District, many of the early settlers were from the Old Dominion. The Renicks were the first family to become established here. Jonathan Renick, from Hardy County, Virginia, came to the township in 1798 and settled on Darby Creek, having purchased the Dade tract. A few years later he was joined by his father, John Renick, and other members of the family. The Renicks are widely represented in Pickaway County and are among its most prominent citizens.Shortly after the arrival of Jonathan Renick,. William Marquis located on Darby Creek,Henry Slyh, Sr., settled permanently in Jackson township in 1802; George Glaze, in 1807: John Baer, about 1809 ; James R. Hulse, in 1811; John Fisher, in 1815 ; and Andrew Whiteside and Jonathan W. Huston, in 1828. Other early pioneers of the township were the following : Robert Martin. Melchior and Peter Staley; James Hemphill, Samuel Hunter, Joseph and Ebenezer Petty, Horace Keyes and the Sudduth and Barnes families.
Deaths in Pickaway County: HistoryCEMETERIES.
It is thought that the first burials in this township were made in the all burying-ground, on the bank of Darby Creek, as the inscriptions on the tombstones go back as far as 1807. Many Halls are buried here as well as members of neighboring families. In another burying-ground is found the tombstone of John Renick, the pioneer, who died in 1814. There may have been earlier burials, for time has not dealt kindly with the inscriptions, which in many instances have become nearly effaced. The. year 1826 was a sad one to the early settlers living here, for a malignant sickness, known as the "cold plague," removed many loved ones. The Jackson township cemetery, comprising some four acres,

It also appears from this record, that William Johnson was the first Treasurer, Abner Barret first Clerk of this township.By the record of 1806, it appears that Joseph Petty, Thomas Pearce and William Parkison were elected Trustees, and David Parkison, Clerk for that year. The Trustees allowed William Powel's account for keeping a poor woman and child. Who the poor women and child were, is not known. The following is copied from the township record of 1808.

"Agreeable to the squirrel law, the Trustees of this township have laid on each taxable citizen, ten squirrel scalps, and one scalp for each and every twelve and a half cents his tax amounts to. Done the 23d day of April, 1808. Attest, David Parkison, T. C."
In early times it was customary for the squirrels to travel from North to South in countless numbers about once in ten years. They made their journey in the fall of the year, about the time that corn began to ripen.

twenty acres of land, about fout thousand acres of this land lies east of Ludlow's s line and is in the Virginia Military District the balance is Congress land, and is laid off in sections of one mite square, containing six hundred and forty acres each, except some fractional sections. on the west side of and adjoining Ludlow's line, which are of various sizes. Mad River rubs south. and passes: through the northwest and southwest parts of the township. The south branch of King's Creek has its source in Wayne Township, and the north branch has its source in Logan County, the two branches join together near Kingston. The streams run westwardly, across Salem, and enter Mad River near the western boundary of the township. Macacheek, a tributary of Mad River, passes through the northern part of the township. All these are permanent, never failing streams, of pure, clear water. They have never been known to go dry in summer, and always furnish an ample supply of water for milling purposes throughout the year. The land is mostly level, or rolling, dry prairie, and " barrens," as it was once called, and the ridges dividing the streams and prairie are covered with timber, mostly oak and hickory. In the southeast corner of the township there is a large, low and once wet prairie, known by the name of Dugan. Prairie; it contains several thousand acres of land, and receives the drainage of the country surrounding it, equal to an area of six miles square.
When the country was first settled by the whites, this prairie was mostly covered with water the greater part of the year, having the appearance of a lake, with here and there a small island thickly covered with timber, mostly oak and hickory. The barrens and dry prairies were covered with wild grass, which, in summer, grew to an incredible height, and furnished fine pasture for thousands of buffalo, elk and deer before the intrusion of the white man upon their rich domain. After this grass became dead ripe, or was killed by the frost in the fall of the year, and became dry enough to burn, the Indians, at a time agreed upon by their chiefs, would place themselves with their guns upon the high timbered land adjoining that upon which the grass grew, and at a signal given by the Captain, the squad would set fire to the grass, and the wild animals of all kinds, which lay there concealed, would be suddenly aroused from their quiet slumbers and run for safety to the high ground, and there meet death by the rifle and the red man. Great numbers of deer were killed in this way by the Indians, even after the commencement of the settlement of the country by the whites. The Indians would invariably give the white settlers at least a week's notice of their intention to burn the grass at a certain time, so they could protect their fences and cabins by plowing a few fresh furrows around them.
According to reliable information, the settlement of that part of the township which lies in the King's Creek valley, was commenced in the year 1802 or 1803. Samuel and William Stewart came to this township with their father, Matthew Stewart, who settled on King's Creek in the spring of 1804. At that time William Powell was living near the place where Albert Jackson now lives, having settled there about a year before. William Wood, a Baptist preacher, from Kentucky, and father of Christopher Wood, who distinguished himself in the War of 1812, and is remembered by all the old settlers, then lived where. the Kingston Mills now are, having settled there about a year before. Arthur Thomas, who was afterward killed by the Indians, then lived at the mouth of King's Creek, where he soon after built a grist-mill, which was probably the first mill of the kind ever erected in this county. Joseph Petty then lived on King's Creek, on the place where his grandson, Hiram Petty, now lives, where he built a water-mill soon after.

216 - HISTORY OF CHAMPAIGN COUNTY.
While Indian corn was the leading agricultural product, and for many years the main dependence of the settlers for bread, wheat was grown very early in the settlement of the country. Between 1803 and 1808, three grist-mills were started in the county on King's Creek, about a mile apart. These were a tub mill by Arthur Thomas, a tub-mill by Joseph Petty, and an overshot mill by John Taylor. Adam Kite also had an overshot mill on Mad River, where Parker Bryan's mill now is. To Kite's and Taylor's mills were attached saw-mills. In the same section of the county and on Nettle Creek, a little later, other tub-mills were started. At this day, it is hardly necessary to describe an overshot mill, though in the changes which have been effected by the "turbine " wheel and steam, the "overshot " is being done away with, and probably will be as lit tle known to the next generation as the tub-mill is to this. The "tub " was a simple modification of the overshot, the wheel, instead of turning on a shaft, moved by the overshot of water from the head race into troughs or buckets constructed in the circumference of the wheel to which was geared the machinery for grinding, turned in a tub, horizontally, with a spindle placed vertically, the lower end of the spindle turning in a socket in the bottom of the tub, and the upper end in a cross-beam. The water was let into the tub by means of a sluice or mill-race, which, impinging against flanges or buckets in the rim of the wheel, turned the machine and found escape through an opening on the opposite side of the tub into a "tail-race." Midway between the tub and the cross-beam, the buhr-stones were placed, revolved by the motion of the wheel in the tub. In the earlier settlements, the mill-stones were manufactured out of the common limestone rock of the country, and not until years afterward were they displaced by the French buhr. In nothing are
