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 notebook is headed: "Having unfortunately lost the minutes of the surveys I executed in June, July and August 1789... I am under the Necessity of Substituting such as my memory furnishes." Recollections of surveys in federal survey ranges 11, 14, 15, 16, and 17. |
