Your information about Lot Abraham born 1765 in Butler Co., OH cannot be correct. Ohio didn't become a state until 1803. In 1765 Ohio was mostly inhabited by Indians. In fact there weren't any states at all at that time, only 13 colonies owned by Britain. Pennsylvania was one of the colonies and that is where Lot was born. In the 1800 census of Springhill, Fayette Co., PA Lot Abraham is shown as between the age of 16 and 25 with a wife age 16 to 25 with no children.

Check out the website at:

"Between 1783 and 1819 Lt. Thomas Wynne and most of his numerous children, the three sons of Benjamin Abraham (James, Lot and Benjamin) and five children of Enoch Abraham with their spouses and young children took boat on the Monongahela River, floating down to southern Ohio. There the children of Enoch Abraham, with James and Benjamin, sons of Benjamin Abraham of Nantmel, settled in Clermont Cty., Ohio, while Thomas Wynne and Lot Abraham located in nearby Butler Cty., Ohio."
