Indexed. Full color. 147 pages. With this book you will be able to identify and then drive to the location of the properties the first Dreisbachs and Dresbachs owned when settling in Ohio. 1801 is the first evidence of a land purchase found in Ohio. Henry, the son of Martin Sr., entered a contract to purchase 20 acres in Section 12, Township 3, Range 22 (what later became Pickaway Twp., Pickaway Co.) in order to establish a mill on Scippo Creek at that location. Around 1806, Abraham Dreisbach (son of John George and grandson of Simon Jr.) settled near Tarlton, buying several tracts in and around the village. 1875 is the year Henry Dresbach, the son of Jacob and Magdalena (Buchs) Dreisbach, passed away. He was the last living Dreisbach of the first wave of Ohio settlers. He outlived all of his siblings, cousins and distant cousins who first settled in Ohio and tamed the forests.
