History of Coshocton County, Ohio;, published 1881 names this settlement in its chapter on Tiverton Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

George Cummins, of Fauquier county, Virginia, emigrated to Licking county, Ohio, in 1815, and soon thereafter to Knox county. Some time later he came to this township, where he continued to live up to the time of his death. Of his three sons, Eli and Ludwell went west and Kidder B., now in his seventy-ninth year, still has possession of the old home place, lot 15 and a fraction of 16, section 3.

It is notable that almost all the pioneer names of this township arc still represented here. There has been no noticeable change in nationality since the first settlement, except that the southeastern portion of the township has been settled almost exclusively by Germans in small farms of from forty to eight}- acres each. Many of them were laborers on the Walhonding canal and from their earnings saved sufficient to enter a small homestead.
