History of Clinton County Ohio, published 1915 names this settlement in its chapter on Green Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

The Church of Christ has existed as an organized body since 1866. The ground work was laid by W. D. Moore, who was then a missionary at this place under the auspices of Mt. Olive, Bethel and New Antioch churches. The churches employed him for one-fourth of his time for one year, commencing in the fall of 1859, to labor at New Vienna. In June, 1869, W. D. Moore and Rey. Mr. Bacon held a discussion, involving the doctrine of Universalism. This discussion, it is said, settled the question in this community of the doctrine of unconditional salvation. In the fall of 1866, from one thousand to one thousand five hundred dollars was subscribed for building a church house and the work was postponed until spring. With spring came the War of the Rebellion and the work was not begun until the end of the war. The building was first built in 1866 or 1867, with Zephaniah Spears and Clark Dixon as overseers.

New Antioch is but a hamlet. of probably one hundred and fifty inhabitants, situated a half-mile to the northeast of the New Vienna and Wilmington pike, and about eight miles from the former place. It was platted by Charles Underwood, surveyor, for Paul Hulls, Jr.. David Marble and others, on February 28, 1851. It is part of Johnson and others' survey No. 2.386. Its buildings are all frame, but good and substantial, and takes on an appearance of thrift. Two pikes pass through the town.
