This listing shows the taxpayer's name, location of the land (West = Virginia Military District; East = Congress Lands and the French Grant) and the years for which tax was paid. An asterisk denotes a nonresident of the county in the 1820, the only year for which residency is indicated. records abstracted by Caryn R. Shoemaker, CGrS, January 1980.

Feb. 1, 1872
The following interesting letter, written by Rev. James Gilruth, and over 80 years, and who has been in the Methodist ministry for over 50 years, was furnished us by Gen. W.H. Kelly, to whome it was written. It treats of the early settlers in the lower part of the county and the upper end of Scioto. We are promised more of the this valuable correspondence and will certainly be much pleased to give it to our readers.
In undertaking to give a statistical history of the lower end of Lawrence, of the upper end of Scioto, and of the central part of Greenup counties, I am not stimulated thereto by any hope of gain, either of fame, or that of a pecuniary nature. Nor is it my aim to enter into the political, or moral character of those pioneer settlers; nor extensively into their social practices. I simply desire to make you and those that may feel interested, acquainted with some facts in regard to persons, times and places, which I am satisfied no other living mortal can. These facts I give entirely from memory, having kept no written records of any of them; that there may be errors in dates and names is altogether probable.
Beginning at the mouth of Storms Creek; from what it obtained this name I never knew. I think that Amaziah Davidson made the first settlement on the lower point of the creek; on a fraction of some eighteen acres. He sold it to Jacob Suitor, and moved down to the first farm above the French Grant. Jacob Suitor lived here several years; then sold it to Rev. John Lee, and bought a tract of land in the narrows above Ice Creek, moved to it and opened a farm. Lee added to the tract he bought of Suitor some 400 to 500 acres of Congress land, (which had been entered by Amaziah Davidson, but forfeited and fell back to Government) and opened a fine farm; proving himself to be an intelligent farmer. His wife's maiden name I never knew. His children were all daughters, viz: Mrs. James Henry, Mrs. Samuel Henry, Mrs. Christian Yingling, Mrs. Joshua Kelly and Peninah. Mr. Lee for an illiterate man, was an able and successful minister in the regular Baptist Church; extensively and favorably known. He was instrumental in forming a respectable church, and in building the first meeting house in this bottom. It stood on the brow of the creek bank, a few rods from his house.
Josiah Lambert (I think was the old man's name) who formed the next settlement below. His wife's name I never knew. His children's names were: Job, Jonathan, Richard, Susannah, Abigail and Priscilla. Job settled above Ice Creek at the foot of the hill. Richard occupied the homestead farm. Jonathan Lambert farmed the farm below Richard. His wife's name I have forgotten [Margaret McFarlin]. Their children, the oldest a girl, whose name I have also forgotten. The next, a son, whose name I think was Thomas. The Lamberts owned good farms, and were all respectable farmers and citizens. [Elizabeth Lambert md. Cornelius Clark; her niece Emily Rose md. Levi Clark]
Below the Lamberts lived an old Englishman by the name of Shoot. His given name I have forgotten, and that of his wife I never knew. He had a son named Richard, who, after his father's death, lived with Thomas Gilruth, in the French Grant, until he came of age. Mr. Shoot, was a regular bred wagonmaker, the first and only one of trade in this, or either of the bottoms next above, or below. But as wagons were very little used among these early settlers, he found little or no employment as a wagonmaker; but being a strong, industrious and energetic man, and having also learned how to handle the spade, he did a great deal of ditching of ponds and swales - a thing as much needed for health as for profit.
In this vicinity below, lived old Mr. [Benjamin] Carpenter, a Baptist, and the first preacher of any kind in this bottom. He preached occasionally, but made no attempts to form a church, or administer the ordinances. I think it probable that he was not ordained. He had one son named William. He became an ensign in Capt. John Kelly's company of militia, learned surveying, kept the first store between Storms Creek and the French Grant. He made one of the most intellectual men raised in those times in this vicinity; married Hannah Clarke [daughter of Samuel & Mary (Darby) Clark]; sold out and moved to Missouri.
Below Carpenter's settled Tilman Short*; wife's name forgotten, children: Elizabeth, Payton and Sally. Elizabeth married Phillip Kouns; Sally married William Davidson, (near Burlington). The family moved West. What became of Payton I never knew. I think adjoining below lived Samuel Morrison* a tall, raw boned, active man. After the Short family on the same place, as land owner, lived Samuel Clark. I never knew his wife's name [Mary Darby], or that of her parents [Elias & (--?--) Darby]; (she died before Clark moved to this place). Their children were Samuel, Cornelius, Joel, Hannah, James, Rebecca and Amos. -- Mr. Clark was a house carpenter, and wrought at that business, there being no other in those days in that bottom. He also wrought at building horse mills, in conection with Peter Lionbarger, Sr., Samuel, Jr., left and went to Letart Falls and married a Miss Darcy [he married Phebe Sayre] and settled there. Hannah married Mr. Carpenter, I lost track of the rest.
James Sperry, on a fraction of 60 acres above Osborne's Run. This farm all overflows except a mere building spot. His wife's maiden name was Sarah Ferguson. Sperry farmed a little, and wrought a little occasionally as a stonemason at building chimney's; also made some grinding stones, &c. Sperry had no competition, yet his charges were reasonable. In those days almost every settler raised a little batch of cotton, about equal to what the family could manufacture. One great difficulty consisted in picking out the seed. Then came a man by the name of Barlow* and built a small cotton gin, and set it up on this place, and picked the people's cotton on the shares, or for so much cash per pound. John Kelly bought this gin, I think for $60. About this time the seasons became unfavorable for cotton growing, and this business entirely failed in these parts; so Kelly's gin investment also proved a failure. -- Sperry lived here but a few years, and then sold out to a German by the name of Frederick Bottles, whose wife's maiden name was Abright. After a few years Bottles sold out and moved West.
Between Osborne's Run and Norman's Run, the first settler was an old German by the name of Norman* from whom Norman's Run took its name. I never knew his given name, or that of his wife. They had one daughter, the wife of Gabriel Neff, who came to these parts at the same time. Between these two has since grown up a small village with a post office, by the name of Hanging Rock, which has done considerable business in manufacturing bar iron and in shipping pot metal.
The above named settlements were all made between 1800 and 1805, according to the best of my recollection. But some of the persons named came on at a later date, viz: Lee, Clark, Morrison, Barlow and Bottles.
