Re: Vienna Crossrds Cem, Col Rathbun's farm

During a recent trip to Clark Co Ohio, I was able to determine that the Thompson cemetery is actually on the original Col. Thomas Rathbun farm which is on the border of Harmony and Pleasant Townships.Although there are few Thompsons buried there, it is still called Thompson cemetery.Col. Thomas Rathbun, his children, both wives ( Cochrane, Laird) are buried there.There is only one Rathbun buried in So. Vienna cemetery, Nathan Rathbun, a Civil War vetern. Col. Rathbun's land surrounded Brighton in the mid 1800's.When he died, he willed most of his land to his daughter Mary Rathbun McMillin, a resident of Logan Co, Ohio.Col. Rathbun was a school teacher and owner of the Brighton hotel.
Does anyone else have information on the Rathbun's of Harmony Township?
