Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Folks,
This suggestion was on the SACKETT list. I think it is a great idea.
Helps to show what a small world it is.
Even though all the surnames are not included, one of your connecting
lines may exist. By the way, I had trouble with my browser searching
for the surname in the charts. I had to actually eyeball the page to
find the surname. This may just be my set up. The person who shared
didn't mention that she had this problem.
Please REPLY to the list if this URL helped you and how. Thanks! We
need the traffic! :)
Later...Nancy

To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and
to render it the more fit for its prime function of looking forward.

> Clough Valley Maple Syrup
> 5531 Clough Pike
> Cincinnati, OH 45244
>
> The following information is from their brochure:
>
> "Clough Valley Maple Syrup is located in Clough Creek Valley, a
> never-run-dry, glacial, spring-fed stream that is the largest
> watershed in Anderson
> Township and a tributary of the Little Miami River. The Motz
> family has made this
> valley their home for five generations. Clough Valley Maple Syrup
> is a
> partnership of two Motz cousins, Edmund and Matt. The sugar house
> is made of
> rough sawed tulip poplar which Edmund sawed on his mill. It is a
> single purpose
> agricultural structure similar to those found in Northeastern
> United States.
> Our sugar bush is South of Clough Creek, on the North facing
> slope. It is
> a relatively young bush, about fifty to seventy years old, and very
> densely
> populated with maple. Matt's mother can recall when it was a dairy
> pasture
> with only a few beech trees, under which she had picnics. Some of
> these old
> beeches remain today."

>> From information obtained online on a proposed business district in
>> the
> area, I found the following history of the area:
>
> "The Clough-Hunley business district is located in Anderson
> Township, Ohio
> and Anderson Township is in Hamilton County directly east of the
> City of
> Cincinnati. The business district lies along Clough Pike and is
> bordered on the
> north and south by Bartels Road and Hunley Road. Clough Pike has
> access to
> the major arterial Beechmont Ave. as well as Interstate 275 via
> Five Mile Road."
>
> "With a lengthy history dating back to the days of the Revolutionary
> War,
> the Clough-Hunley business district saw settlements as early as the
> 1790's,
> shortly after nearby Columbia was founded by Benjamin Stites. At
> that time,
> Anderson Township was a part of the Virginia Military District -
> land Congress
> granted between the Scioto and Miami Rivers to compensate
> Revolutionary War
> veterans in return for Virginia's cession of its claims to the areas
> (in fact,
> Gen. George Washington himself owned a parcel of land near the
> Little Miami
> River). Established shortly thereafter in 1793, Anderson Township
> was named
> for Richard Clough Anderson, Virginia's chief surveyor."
>
> "Small farms and homesteads dotted the Clough Creek Valley; the
> Miller log
> cabin, which remains intact, was built in 1795 and is a reminder of
> the type of
> development common in the early frontier days. Cluff Pike (as it
> was known
> at the time), surveyed in 1805, was the first primary road in the
> area,
> followed by Batavia Pike and Cincinnati West Union Turnpike,
> today's Beechmont
> Ave., both of which were built in 1825. Mills along the Little Miami
> represented the chief commercial industries - Turpin, Armstrong and
> Wickerham Mills
> were closest to the Clough Creek area. Eventually, small
> communities such as
> Mt. Washington and Mercersville (present-day Newtown) sprang up
> along the
> stagecoach lines."
>
> "Beginning in the 1840's and lasting until the Second World War was
> an age

> stagecoach
> line in Anderson Township started in 1846 by Stephen Sutton made

> like Mt. Washington accessible to the city of Cincinnati.
> Cincinnati's
> growth began to have a spillover effect on communities in and
> around Anderson
> Township; in the 1870's, an inter-urban rail was built between Mt.
> Washington
> and Cincinnati. Though farms were still dominant in the area, rail
> had an
> immense impact on the population and density - more and more people
