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 contains "Minutes of Surveys April 10 - May 3 [1788]" in federal survey ranges 8 and 9. |
