A History of Scioto County, Ohio,, published 1903 names this settlement in its chapter on Green Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

Although its original boundaries are not definitely known, it is certain that its southwestern boundary began at the mouth of the Little Scioto and followed the Ohio river up to a point about a mile below Haverhill, not including all of the French Grant. In 1815, its northwestern end was cut off and made a part of Porter which was formed that year.
