and Historic Events Which Occurred Here

Here in 1815 Jacob Brown, born Dec. 7, 1775 and
his wife Judith Walters Brown, born Dec. 8, 1781,
venerable Quakers, from Louden County, Virginia,
purchased twenty-two hundred acres of land, and established their home.

This monument also marks the location of the
historic Simon Kenton Trail which extended from
the Winchester Trail, now State Route 72, due
west to Old Chillicothe. This was the camp site
of General Benjamin Logan's army of Kentucky
pioneers in 1786. Here they camped for one night
on their march to attach the Shawnee Indians at
Old Chillicothe and thence to the Mack-a-Chack
towns on the head waters of Mad River. Here also
Caesar's Creek was given its name by an officer of
Logan's staff, whose colored servant named Caesar,
escaped during the night crossed the creek, went
on to Old Chillicothe, and warned the Indians.
The waters of Caesar's Creek ran the historic
Jacob Brown Mill which stood about fifty rods west.

Erected 1930 by Otis T. Wolford
in loving memory of his wife
Elizabeth Brown Wolford, daughter of
Nixon and Hanna Wilson Brown
and grand-daughter of
Jacob and Judith Walters Brown
