John Mathews, appointed a surveyor by the Ohio Company of Associates of which he was a member, arrived in Marietta, Ohio, with the first group of settlers in 1788. On August 7, 1789, Shawnees attacked his surveying camp in what is now Lawrence County, the most serious disaster to strike any of the company's surveying parties. In 1792, Mathews became superintendent of the French settlement at Gallipolis, Ohio. He later took up farming in Muskingum County. This document is only the cover of "Minutes of Surveys Jno Mathews." In Rufus Putnam's handwriting is the note: "Minuts [sic] Lost." They were lost in the Shawnee raid. See John Mathews surveyors field notes - D. |
