RESEARCH NOTE:

TIMELINE:
1791 Left Vermont for the Ohio country with younger brother Abraham probably to make good on their father's claim in the Duck Creek Allotment in current Morgan Co., OH. (Johnnysgarden)

SOURCE:
from Donovan Faust's "A Family History: The Ancestors of Thomas Wilson Faust", 1997:
"According to a family history, they made their way to Pittsburgh by covered wagon and then proceeded down the Ohio River by raft. The type of raft they used was probably one known as an Allegheny flat, which was made of heavy planks or logs, had low side rails and could carry several tons of cargo. Normally, such rafts were considered a one-way craft, moving downstream by the thrust of the current and steered, with some difficulty, by a broad tiller. The raft was usually dismantled upon arrival at the destination so that the timber could be used to construct cabins. They then traveled overland through the trackless forest to an area later designated as Morgan County, probably to a tract of land their father had purchased in the Duck Creek Allotment. (He never came to Ohio). It was located some distance northwest of Marietta (now Manchester township), where the first permanent settlement in the region had been established three years earlier. Their arrival unfortunately coincided with the height of warfare with the Indians in the territory."

Rosanna Foster Deming was born 1 in 1777 in Connecticut. She died 2 in Delaware Co., IN. She married Nathan Smith about 1796.

RESEARCH NOTE:
from Donovan Faust's "A Family History: The Ancestors of Thomas Wilson Faust", 1997:
"Sometime around 1796, Nathan Smith married Rosanna Deming, whose family had just settled 15 or 20 miles to the east in what became Washington County. Virtually no concrete information about her can be found. Some genealogical records identify her as the daughter of Ezekiel Deming while in others she is thought to be the child of his cousin Simeon Deming. Both of the Demings came to the area together. It is known that Nathan's brother Abraham Smith married Ezekiel's daughter Mary Ann Deming but the same records disagree as to whether the young women were sisters or cousins. This history assumes the majority opinion that they were sisters but further research is needed to confirm it."
