The "source" below gives 1820 as to arrival in Wayne Twp and the 1820 census confirms their presence in Wayne Twp that year. CENSUS: 1820 Census Wayne Twp, Champaign County, Ohio lists Peter IGO - 1 white male under 10, 1 white male 16-26. 1 white female 16-26 listed under agriculture.

He bought a tract of wild land and settled on it, on the left bank of King's Creek, near Mason's mill which is now owned and occupied by Susan Wright, her son and daughter. His first wife was a McKenzie. His second wife was Elizabeth Purtlebaugh, now the consort of B. F. Madden. By his first marriage, he had three sons and three daughters who grew to manhood and womanhood. Silas, the oldest son, married Merdula JOHNSON. He studied law and became noted as a practicing local attorney and politician. He died about the year 1877. John married Hannah J. Thomas for his first wife and Sarah Hefflebower for the second. He is a farmer of large experience and lives on the Dunlap farm, on Buck Creek. Aaron, the youngest son, died in 1852, and was unmarried.

Amanda became the wife of William JENKINS, and, with her husband, lives in Indianapolis. Mr. IGOU sold his farm to Thomas BALDWIN, and bought the farm now owned by Martin M. DICKSON, in the southwest part of the township. About the year 1848, he built the Pearce corner, in Middletown, where, in 1852, he died. IGOU was a man of generous heart, liberal in his views, fond of discussion, well read on the current topics of the day, gifted in conversation, a little too fond of litigation, a professed Universalist a good neighbor and a kind husband and father. He served the township as Justice of the Peace for several successive years, besides filling other places of trust. CITATION: HISTORY OF CHAMPAIGN COUNTY OHIO by Judge Evan P.

It was the year 1821 that a number of Methodists gathered at the home of Alexander St. Clair Hunter for the purpose of organizing a religion society. The society was known as the North Salem Methodist Society.
