Cindy, theres STILL "something special about this area of Indiana," not just
in 1850. (I miss it!)
I think the clue is that someone led the way, sent word back about the great
soil, etc., so others followed. My g-grandfather, Jacob Long, was born in
Holmes Co., OH. He married in Coshocton Co., OH, then moved to Franklin
Twp., Kos. Co., IN. He later moved to Newcastle Twp. in Fulton Co. When
his first wife died, he went back to Holmes Co. to get his second wife.
I've done lots of research on Coshocton Co., OH, and find that MANY families
who were early settlers in Newcastle Twp, Fulton Co., came from there. They
must have liked northern Indiana; they stayed!

I had ancestors in Coshocton, OH and Holmes, OH, who came to Kos. and Elkhart
Indiana also. The one thing they had in common was that they were old time
Amish-Mennonites from Pennsylvania. That may be the common factor.
