ROSS TOWNSHIP

Was named in honor of Judge James Ross, and erected in 1812. It is bounded on the north by Brush creek, on the east by Saline and Knox, on the south by Salem, and on the west by Spring- field townships, and includes thirty square miles, all of the orig- inal congressional township eleven in range three, except the northern tier of sections which now form a part of Brush Creek township.

TOPOGRAPHY.

Ross township is drained by Yellow creek and its tributaries. The norther portion of the township is very hilly and rough ; the soil sandy and not very productive, but the southern por- tion, especially that part known as Bacon ridge, is more even and the quality of the soil better, being impregnated with lime.

FIRST SETTLEMENT.

Between the years 1800 and 1805, a number of squatters built cabins along Yellow creek, hunted, fished and sometimes boiled salt at the salt springs on section 34, but they were not owners ot land, and being migratory in their habits, soon disappeared from the scene of action. Amongst them were William Castle- man, Mark Duke, Jobn Bruce, John Davis, Jacob Drake and William Roach. The first permanent settlers were Thomas George, Allen Speedy, Arthur Latimer, Stephen Coe, Lodo wick Hardenbrook, Joseph Elliott, John Farguhar, Thomas Bay, William Scott, Henry Crabs, Joseph Reed, Isaac Shane and others. Thomas Bay was a participant in the disgraceful tragedy enacted at Gnadenhutten under Colonel Williamson, but always seemed filled with remorse for the part he took in the murder of. Moravian.

SALT WORKS.

When the Steubenville land distriet was surveyed sections containing any valuable minerals were retained by the govern- ment. Under this rule section 34 of township 11, range 3, upon which was situated the Salt Licks, was retained, but this did not prevent hunters and others from utilizing these springs for the manufacture on a small scale of that very essential article, salt. At that time salt was brought from Eastern Virginia on horse- back across the Allegheny mountains, and was worth in the Ohio valley $8.00 per bushel, hence the very natural desire of the settlers to cheapen the price of that indispensable commod- ity.

As early as 1802, Henry Daniels had a small furnace erected for boiling salt. He sunk a hollow sycamore log in an upright position at the spring and from this reservoir the salt water was dipped into the kettles and boiled, producing about three bushels per day.

So great was the demand that Isaac Shane, who went there in 1803, for salt, found the place thronged with anxious customers and was obliged to return without the coveted article. At this time wood was used in the furnaces, but about 1820, coal was substituted by Mordecai Moore. This facilitated business and the salt water was now pumped up into a reservoir and conducted by means of wooden pipes back to the bluff, a quarter of a mile distant, where the coal conld be conveniently procured. The brine afforded by the spring being very weak, one Jack Peter- son, formerly a constable under the territorial government, con- ceived the idea of boring a well. This was accomplished with a good deal of difficulty, as it had to be done by hand with the as- sistance of a spring pole, but was done, and at a depth of 300 feet a vein of salt was struck, an abundant flow of brine " strong enough to carry an egg" was obtained. His success gave an impetus to the business and numerous wells were put down at various places, some getting salt and some getting water.

About the year 1815, Mordecai Moore came to the locality and seeing the slowness with which salt water evaporated from ket- tles, he substituted sballow pans. This was a successful ven- ture, and Mr. Moore following it up accumulated considerable wealth, but the works were abandoned as unprofitable.

In 1826, Stewart McClave bought a part of section 34, and his grandson now lives on the property. Just in front of his house on the bank of Yellow creek, may be found a mnound sev- eral rods in diameter and about five feet high. On examination it will be found to be composed of cinder, and marks the loca- tion of the old " United States Salt Works."

About the year 1865, a Mr. Moss, from New York city, was prospecting for oil along Yellow creek, and sunk a four-inch well on section 16 near William McLain's to a depth of 500 feet, but instead of oil, struck salt, and building suitable works, went into the manufacture of that article. Sold three or four hundred barrels, but being unable to compete with larger man- ufactories, abandoned his works in 1866. Several smaller ven- tures have at different times been made on Yellow creek, but no record of their operations has been kept.

PETROLEUM.

There is a tradition that the Indians, and later the whites, gath- ered "Seneca oil" by spreading blankets ou a pond at the mouth

HISTORY OF BELMONT AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES

of Brimstone run, on Yellow creek. Be this as it may, it has never been doubted by the settlers on the creek that the precious oleaginous fluid existed in paying quantities, and only awaited development. Consequently, after the astounding revelations of Pennsylvania oildom had set the whole country on the qui vive, a company of enterprising gentlemen associated themselves together under the title of the "Springfield and Yellow Creek Oil Company," for the purpose of testing the territory. In 1866, they put down a four-inch well at the mouth of Brimstone run, and at a depth of 500 feet "struck oil," which flowed rapidly for a few hours, running into the creek and waisting several bar- rels of oleaginous wealth. A pump was then put in and about 200 barrels of oil saved when the supply become exhausted. Failing to secure any other favors from the fickle goddess of fortune, they turned their attention to the manufacture of salt, which was continued until 1871, when the business was aban- doned. In 1870, a Pennsylvania company sunk a well to the depth of 1,000 feet; got plenty of salt water, but no oil. No wells have been sunk since.

EARLY IMPROVEMENTS.

Stephen Coe built the first grist mill in the township in 1808. It was a water mill and was situated near where the present steam mill now stands, at Mooretown.

The first school house was built about 1814, and was situated about one-half mile southeast of Stephen Coe's mill. The first teacher was James Ewing, who taught a three months' term.

The first store was kept by Robert George, at Mooretown, in 1828

The first meeting house of any considerable size was built by the Presbyterians in 1820. It was a brick building 30x50 and stood at the centre of section 25, township 11, range 3.

ELECTIONS.

The township elections were held at the house of Henry Crales until 1850, when they were moved to school house No. 3.

The first justice of the peace was William Scott, who resided on section 32.

Ross township contains eight schools and six churches.

BACON RIDGE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The original society from whence this sprung was called Rich- mond church and the meeting house stood about the centre of section 25, townsbip 11, range 3. Rev. George Scott organized the society in 1804. Arthur Latimer, John P. McMillen, Stephen Coe, Thomas Bay, Calvin Moorehead, Aaron Allan and Andrew Dixon were members at the time. The first pastor was William MeMillen, D. D., who served two years.

The first meeting house was a primitive structure of rude architecture and small size, but as the congregation grew in numbers it was found necessary to build a larger house. This was done in 1820. A brick building 30x50 was erected and stood until the congregation was divided-the territory being too large and the membership too much scattered. Other churches being organized contiguous the brick building was torn down and a new one put up on the northwest quarter of section 13, township 11, range 3-a frame structure 33x44 leet. The records of the church being lost previous to 1840, the exact succession of pastors cannot now be ascertained, but it is remem - bered that Thomas Hunt officiated seven years. James Robin- son, a classmate of Dr. Chalmers, was the next, who remained about seven years. J. R. Dundas was pastor from 18-10 till 18-44,

then came Cyrus Riggs, who was pastor at the time the "old brick " church was abandoned. Mr. Riggs was succeeded by Lafferty Greer, who officiated seven years and was in turn sue- ceeded by Rev. John S, Marquis, who resigned on account of ill health in 1865. William Wycoff was installed in June, 1866, and officiated until October 19, 1873. He in turn was succeeded by Rev. W. M. Eaton, whose connection with the congregation was dissolved in October, 1868, since which time the church has been without a regularly installed minister, but has depended upon supplies furnished by the presbytery, Rev. I. Price acting as stated supply at the present time (June, 1879).

YELLOW CREEK UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The first preacher of the Associate Presbyterian denomination who preached in the vicinity was Rev. E. N. Scroggs in the year 1814.

Rev. John Walker and Dr. Ramsey also preached at times. The congregation was organized under an act of the Legislature in 1820, Rev, E. N. Scroggs officiating. Amongst the first members were Henry Crabs, and wife Anna ; Hamilton Walker and wife, Mary ; William Kelly and wife, Christiana : Matthew Barr and wife, Margaret ; Samuel Dorrance and wife, Mary ; Jolin Jordan and wife, Mary Ann; Thomas George and wife, Jane ; John Kean and wife, Mary, and Sarah Story.

The first preaching was done in the house of Thomas George ; next in a tent, and 1828 a brick building was put up 30x40 ; aft- erwards enlarged to 30x60. In 1858 a frame building 40x60 was erected, which is still occupied by the congregation. The succession of ministers is as follows: Rev. E. N. Scroggs and Dr. Ramsey ; Rev. John Donaldson twelve years ; Rev. James Patterson, eighteen years; Rev John Easton, one year ; Rev. T. Simpson, from December 25, 1856, to September 12, 1861; Rev. James Golden, from April 4, 1863, to April 1, 1869, Rev. H. Y. Leeper, from January, 1870, to the present (1879). The congregation at the present time numbers one hundred and thirty members. Ruling elders-John Erskine, Alexander George, James Kelly, Laughlin MeBane and Hamilton Walker.

PINE GROVE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

About the year 1838, Rev. Samnel Whorton preached in an old log school house where the church now stands, and in the course of the next year Rev. Thomas Thompson formed a class con- sisting of fourteen persons. Amongst them Andrew Saltsman and wife, Catharine ; Solomon Hartman and wife; Jane Salts- man, Mrs. Rebecca Schwinehart and her daughter, Julia Ann ; Matthew H. Roach and his wife, Elizabeth ; Robert Mills and his wife, Elizabeth. In 1841, under the auspices of Revs. John Murry and George Mccluskey, a church was built, a brick struc- ture 30x40, which is still standing and in use.

The first class leader was Samuel N. Heron. Present leaders- John Anderson, Joseph Jackman and Alexander Lowry. The present incumbent of the circuit is Rev. D. A. Pierce.

MOUNT ZION M. E, CHURCH.

Kees is the present pastor. Membership, about eighty.

BETHEL LUTHERAN CHURCHI.

This church was organized abont 1830 and a brick building erected. In 1872 it was removed and a frame 26x28 substituted, and dedieated by Drs. Sparks and Passavant the same year. The membership is now small, perhaps not exceeding twenty. They are supplied by the Rev. J. HI. Kennard.

MOORETOWN M. E. CHURCH.

.ANCIENT FORTIFICATIONS.

In a bend of Yellow creek, on the northeast quarter of sec- tion 33, range 3, township 11, in Ross township, Jefferson county, Ohio, is the remains of an ancient fortifieation. It is in the cir- cular form with a radius of about eighty yards, and situated on a bluff. On the northwest side the bluffis almost perpendicular, and about two hundred feet bigh. On the southwest side the fortifica - tion is about one hundred feet in heigth, and then slopes off grad- ually to the ereek. The ditch when first seen by the whites, was about four feet deep, and bad large trees growing in it. Evi- dently the northwestern portion of the circular enclosure has been washed away by the encroachments of the creek. It is be- lieved to be the work of the "mound builders."

SOLDIERS MONUMENT.

This monument was ereeted by Robert George in 1871, for the purpose of perpetuating the memory of the soldiers of Ross township, who fell in the service of their country.

It is situated on Mr. George's farm on the bluff overlooking Yellow creek. It rests upon a raised platform seven feet square, doric column including capital twenty-one feet high.

The material used is gray sandstone of excellent quality taken from the adjacent hills.
