NW Ohio | I often wondered why my ancestors ended up in Ohio. Since I couldn't plant much this spring, I was combing through boxes of paperwork my parents had kept. Some of it dating back to when my great, great grandparents were alive.
When they were traveling from the east to find a place to settle, my great, great grandmother became somewhat ill. My great, great grandfather was annoyed and made some comments that she should suck it up so they could continue to travel. She was also annoyed with him and then told him to go on without her and she would catch up with him in a few weeks. Still annoyed and not wanting to make her any madder, he asked her where he should stop and build the homestead. She then answered him by saying, "Stick it where the sun don't shine."
That's how I ended up in Ohio.
Yes, it's been a long spring. | |
