The 1830's brick pioneer farmhouse known as the Cornell Road House, because of its location on Cornell Road in Sharonville, now has been identified as the Samuel Vorhes House after its original owner. Extensive deed and title research by Frank G. Davis, MPA Trustee and member of the Master Plan Committee, disclosed that the house was built and dates of 1826 and 1865. On April 5, 1826, Samuel Vorhes purchased from one Lewis Frybarger 100 acres in Section 12 of Hamil- ton County and 23 acres in Section 18 for a total con- veyance of 123 acres.
