Notes |
- Henry Amrine, the second son, was born in 1789. He did not move to this township till the fall of 1820. His father desired that he should live in the same settlement with himself and his remaining sons, and offered him, as an inducement to move, 100 acres, upon which was a good mill site. He built his cabin in the green woods a few rods west of where the residence of Mrs. Elizabeth Amrine now stands. In 1822, he built the saw mill on the exact site of the present mill. It was one of the first mills erected on Mill Creek. In 1825, the grist mill was added. These mills remained in the possession of the Amrine family for more than fifty years. Henry Amrine had married Mary Powers, who was born near Richmond, Va., September 2, 1785. Their children were John, Elizabeth. Josiah, Susan, Abraham, Mercy, Henry, Smith and Andrew. The first six were born in Belmont County, the last three here. Four are still living-John, in Piqua, Ohio;- Susan, who became the wife of Samuel Reed, in Missouri; Henry and Andrew, in Paris Township. The wife, Mary, died in 1851, at the age of sixty-five years. Henry survived until the seventy-sixth year of his age. His death occurred August 12, 1864.
