John Seybold, Preble Co., Ohio; 1807
Last week I was in Preble County and found a copy of the original land entries in Gratis Township, township 4, range 5.My ancestor, Ephraim Smith was an "assignee" of John Seybold, as were a few other men.Ephraim Smith was a Quaker, and I believe the others were also.The land was located close to the Meeting House.John Seybold had land in 1807 and might have given an area for the Meeting House.I wonder if he might have a family connection to Ephraim Smith.May ancestor died in Preble in 1825, but a couple of sons stayed for awhile.
