Gallia County, 1810 Tax List - Clark, Elihu; Robinson, James

Gallia County was formed in 1804 from Washington County. It originally included the lands comprising the present cunties of Gallia, Jackson, the greater part of Lawrence, about three-fourths of Meigs and a part of Vinton County, which tract was covered partly by the "Congress Lands" and the balance by the Ohio Company Purchase. Gallipolis is the county seat. "Gallia" the ancient name of France was given it in honor of the French settlers who had settled within its borders, nearly 13 years before it had become a separate and distinct county. These early French settlers had left Havre de Grace in February 1790. When they arrived in Virginia the French found that the deeds given them for land were worthless. Later Congress gave them a grant of 24,000 acres in the Gallia County area, known as the "French Grant."

The first court house was built in 1807. The court house burned in Nov. 1858. It was rebuilt and on May 3, 1877 this building was burned. Both were burned by incendiaries who were arrested and sent to the penitentiary.  The next court house built in 1879.

Meigs, and published by posting on a tree on the banks of the River. In about three months Gov. St. Clair and the judges arrived in the territory.

In Dec. 1790 Washington County was divided into townships of Marietta, Belpre and waterford.
