Read More	Father: Daniel Morris Brown from NY Mother: Effie d. 16 Feb 1827 Additional Children: Martha Lucretia Fuller 13 Oct 1815 Early Land Sales: Worthington, Franklin, OH Building Analysis for 6188 Olentangy River Road This house is located on approximately six acres of land that was originally a part of farm lot 11 of the original survey of Sharon Township lands by the Scioto Company. The current owners of this property are Dr. Noel D. and Kathryn M. Hamilton. When the Scioto Company partitioned the farm lots and in lots on 11 August 1804, this lot was granted to Isreal P. Case and Abner P. Pinney. There was slightly more than 93 acres in this lot. Both were young men who had been part of the Scioto Company's advance party which came to the Worthington area in the spring of 1803. Israel Putnum Case was born in 1781 and married Laurinda Morrison in 1811. Abner Putnam Pinney was born in 1779 and married Polly Morrison in 1804. BOth Laurinda and Polly were daughters of Alexander and Mehitable (Hall) Morrrison, who were also original proprietors in the Worthington area. On 27 January 1809, Israel P. Case conveyed the south half of farm lot 11 (about 47 acreas) to Abner P. Pinney. On this same date, Abner P. and Polly Pinney conveyed the northern half of lot 11 to Israel P. Case. These transactions were a division of the mutually held property, preparatory to the sale of the southern half of lot 11 to Abner P. Pinney's father-in-law for $500 on 27 January 1809. The amount of the sale price of $500 is more than $10.00 per acre in 1809. This suggests that the land had been cleared and that there were some buildings on the land in order to command this level of consideration for this property. The deed records further show that Abner P. Pinney and his wife lived at this location for some period prior to its sale in 1809. It is probable that the structures on this property at the time of the sale in 1809 were log structures, and they almost certainly would have been constructed by Abner P. Pinney. The hand-hewed beams still existing in this house at 6188 Olentangy River Road were probably taken from these log structures. After the sale of this property, Abner P. Pinney moved to Liberty Township in Delaware County. He subsequently returned to Worthington in 1835. He was one of the incorporators of St. John's Episcopal Church in 1807. On 3 February 28, 1810, Alexander and Mehitable Morrison conveyed this parcel of 47 acres of land to their son, William Morrison, for $750.00. This suggests that there may have been some improvements made in the property. On 8 August 1814, William Morrison conveyed this property to Daniel M. Brown for $650.00. On 13 October 1815 Daniel M. Brown conveyed this property of 47 acres to his son, Ezekiel, for $800.00. Ezekiel Brown was not a member of the Scioto Company, but he was a very early resident in the area. He was elected justice of the peace in Liberty Township in 1803, before Sharon Twsp was formed. He also served in that capacity for Sharon Township in 1844 and in 1848. It seems probable that the house on this property was modified from a log dwelling to a braced-framed building during the time it was owned by Ezekiel Brown. The 1837 tax list does not show a taxable house on this property through 1837, but the 1856 plat map shows a structure at this location. It seems likely that the oldest part of the existing structure was built, using some of the original hand-hewn logs for framing circa 1840. It is doubtful that a more precise date can be established, unless letters or other documentary evidence from the family can be located. Ezekiel Brown died in 1855, and following a series of quit claim deeds and mortgages, on 8 April 1867, John Q. A. Brown and the heirs of Ezekiel Brown conveyd 11 acres including the site of the present structure to Hiram Wilcox. Hiram Wilcox had married Sophronia Brown, daughter of Ezekiel Brown. Hiram Wilcox subsequesntly purchased 24 acres of the northern half of lot 11 on 10 September 1870. On 23 December 1878, Hiram and Sophronia Wilcox conveyed 4.37 acres including the buildings to John B. Snouffer. The purchase price for this parcel and buildings was $900. On 6 April 1889 John B. and Mary M. Snouffer conveyed this property to Edwin C. Snouffer for $900. Edwin Snouffer conveyed this same property to Fannie B. and Ollie Edwards on 28 August 1890. ...It seems likely that there was a significant modification in this property while Robert Thompson owned this property. The 1926 tax valuation for the property was $2300 which was almost four times the 1916 valuation of $650. ...In 1958 the house was moved eastward on the lot to its present location and substantial improvements were made in the house. Conclusion: The documentary and physical evidence indicate that the current house at 6188 Olentangy River Road contains hewed logs dating to before 1809. It is likely that the original structure at this location was a log house. Circa 1840 the oldest portion of the existing house was constructed using the original logs for the framing. Additional modifications were made in the 1920s. Sources are listed
