The chapter on Wayne Township in The History of Warren County, Ohio, published 1882 names Waynesville. This is what it says, exactly as the scans read.
Before 1819, the channel of the river on the road to Corwin was not as now, but where the bridge now is was in the bend of a horseshoe, the channel above and below the bridge having been made since. The crossing of the river was between High and Main streets, in Waynesville. When the water was high, there was a ferry used, and when low, a ford. About 1812, an effort was made to build a bridge at the ford. The abutments were raised and a superstructure was placed on trestles. A freshet in the river swept out the work and no further effort was made to build a bridge at that place. In 1817, a bridge was built on a contract, where the bridge now is, by John Satterthwaite, for $700, including the abutments. It was built of oak timber, principally hewed, never covered or weather-boarded, and only lasted about ten years. At that time, the road crossed the West Branch of the Miami, known as the race at the mouth and followed the north bank of the Miami to the bridge. The race wsa then a small stream, no bridge over it; the ford was a very bad crossing.

In 1803 a store was kept at the east angle of the crossing of High and Third streets by David Holloway. A few years after, Jacob Pierson kept a store there for some time. Shortly after, a store was kept at the north angle of the same crossing, and in 1810 by Seth Silvers. In 1808, David Brown built a house on Outlot No. 4, Waynesville, and kept a small store there; in 1806, David Pugh had a store on Main street; in 1810, on the same street, by

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 3,058 specimens collected within 10 miles of Satterthwaite, John, House between 1844 and 1974: 2,950 Animalia, 50 Plantae, 45 Fungi, 11 Unrecorded, 2 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. R. Gaufin, A.R. Gaufin, H.H. Ross, ANSEL JOHN and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

When this property was proposed for the National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is, and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain. It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s typewriter's.
