ASH	Ashtabula	Geauga County was originally Washington County, then Jefferson, then Trumbull. When the county was formed, 31 Dec 1805, it included the eastern part of Cuyahoga County and all of Lake and Ashtabula counties. By 1810, Cuyahoga and Ashtabula were separated from Geauga. Lake County did not become its own identity until 1840. Willoughby was called Chagrin as late as 1830, not to be confused with Chagrin Falls. Willoughby records could be found in six different counties: Washington, Jefferson, Trumbull, Geauga, Cuyahoga, and Lake.
