Notes
a. Note:   From Ron Bauerle: Correspondence in an attempt to determine if the parents of Daniel Peterson are Daniel Peterson and Priscilla [-?-].
  I still need to write up my Morrow Co, OH research and post it, but I may have mentioned that Daniel Peterson Jr. and Mary sold their share of Daniel Sr.'s land in Franklin Twp to my ancestor Westley, thus I'm pretty sure they're brothers.
  All of these records are in the probate office in the Morrow Co., OH courthouse, but I didn't find any probate records as such. ( Note that Daniel Sr. died in 1849, a year after Morrow Co. was split off from Knox Co, so there's a chance that there's something down there (I didn't have time to get to their courthouse)). __________________________ Morrow Co., Ohio Deed Record:

Referring to the growth of Monroe Township:
  "During the following year a number of pioneer swelled the little settlement thus started. Among the first was Nathan Lynn, a native of Maryland, who started from Illinois, in the fall of 1854, and soon reached the confines of Butler county. He first stopped at Carpenter's Grove, where he lived for a couple of weeks in his wagon; he then moved into a vacant log cabin, in the grove, and there spent the winter. In the following spring, of 1855, he pushed his way westward, and made a claim in what is now known as Ripley township. Soon after that he came to Monroe township, locating on section 2. Here he erected a log house, and commenced improvements. In 1879 he sold his farm and removed to Jefferson township, where he now resides.
  He had been but a short time on section two when a native of the same State made his appearance and located on the northwest quarter of section one. This was Daniel Peterson. He remained here until 1858, when he sold out and went to Missouri. He is now living in Kansas." __________________________ 1860 Hunter Co., Kans. Census, Eldorado Twp., P. O.
