History of Franklin County [Ohio]:, published 1858 names this settlement in its chapter on Brown Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

Amongst the first settlers were James Boyd, John Hayden, John Patterson and Mr. Rinier. Though there were but few settlers back from the creek until from 1825 to 1830, when the Welch commenced settling in this township, and it has of late years been filling up fast, and bids fair to make a rich and flourishing township.
