Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Muskingum County, Ohio; Embracing an Authentic and Comprehensive Account of the Chief Events in the History of the County and a Record of the Lives of Many of the Most Worthy Families and Individuals, published 1892 names this settlement in its chapter on Zanesville City. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

In 1840 Bernard Howson, John Hallam, George Wheaton and two other experienced potters, originally from Staffordshire, England, came to Zanesville and engaged in the manufacture of Rockingham ware. In 1846, John Howson, brother of Bernard, joined them. In 1852, John Howson and his son Bernard became sole owners. In 1863, John Howson died, and the junior member of the firm continued the business, the principal feature of which was the manufacture of ink bottles. In 1874, the establishment was leased by Fischer & Lansing, of New York, for the manufacture of floor tiling.- This was the beginning of the American Emcaustic Tile works. In 1849 George Pyatt, from Staffordshire, England, came here and began making Rockingham and yellow stoneware. In 1851 the fiim of Pyatt & Goetz was formed. Two years later, Mr. Pyatt left the town and the business ceased.

The Zanesville Board of Trade is one of the city's most credible institutions. Several efforts were made in a more or less remote past to establish such an institution, but is was not until in 1886 that anything like a successful organization was secured. In March, 1886, a preliminary meeting was held and a constitution and set of by-laws were drafted, which were formally adopted April 12, 1886. The first officers elected were as follows: President, M. Churchill; first vice-president, Edgar M. Hatton; second vice-president, F. G. Darlington; secretary, William M. Shinnick, Jr.; treasurer, G. H. Stewart. Much good has been accomplished by the organization during their six years' existence. A permanent board of trade room has been established and fitted up, a salaried secretary placed in charge and the organization has moved along swimmingly, gaining with each year a firmer hold upon public respect and confidence. The wisdom of having such an organization in successful operation is best demonstrated when it is remembered that it was largely due to the efforts of this board that the national government assumed control of the Muskingum river and has been making extensive improvements on it; that the board was the chief promoter of the movement for street paving in Zanesville; that to its efforts the citizens are indebted for the Vitrified Sewer pipe works in Fair Oaks; and that it was the board that secured the American Encaustic Tile Co.'s new plant for the city. The various committees of the organization are carefully constituted and discharge the tasks assigned to them most effectively. The officers elected in April, 1891, for the ensuing year were as follows: Geo. R. Fox, president; W. W. Harper, first vice-president; A. E. Starr, second-vicepresident; Wm. S. Bell, secretary; Alex. Grant, treasurer. Directors: Charles Brendel, Rufus Burton, A. O. Jones, Wilbur McCoy, H. C. Van Vorhis, John Hoge, Wm. Kirk, S. A. Baldwin, J. Hope Sutor, A. P. Pinkerton. The organization is composed of Zanesville's leading and most enterprising business men, and is doing a grand work for the city.
