 Sailor's Run, a stream flowing into Duck Creek, about two miles below
Carlisle, is so named after Jacob Sailor, an early settler on this stream.
Jacob Sailor's wife was Esther Crow, a sister to the Crow girls, who were
killed by the Indians near Wheeling in 1791. On Sailor's Run was the last
Indian camp in this part of the country. It was occupied by a party of
Indian hunters in 1812. None were ever seen here after that year, all
deserting the country to engage in war.

Jacob Sailor is said to have built the first hewed log house on the creek.
He sold out to William Smith prior to 1830, and removed to Indiana. Smith
came from Monroe County.

acres of land. In 1820 the family removed to the vicinity of Sarahsville,
Noble County, Ohio; thence to Middleburg, where the elder Riddle was elected
justice of the peace. The location not being a satisfactory one, the family
returned to Ashland, Ohio, in 1833, where he bought 160 acres of land. In

valuable land which is unincumbered. He has always taken a marked interest
in educational matters. Both he and his wife are worthy members of the
Christian church. Nathan Lindcicome, the father of Mrs. Riddle, came from

Ezekiel, Nancy, Silas, Isaiah, Joshua, Anne and Joseph. The last four were
born in Monroe (now Noble) County. The family came to this county in 1815,
and after being here about two years brought out their father and mother,
David and Mary (Aiken) Farley.

James Farley was a thorough temperance man - such were rarely found in early
years, when whisky was a popular beverage. The family were prominent
Methodists and he was class-leader many years. He died May 7, 1854, in his
seventy-seventh year and his wife in 1859, at the same age.

 William Smith, who lived on the East Fork, was quite an early settler, and
a most excellent man. His wfie, who lived to be nearly a hundred years old,
was an admirable type of the pioneer woman, and was much esteemed. The
family came from Belmont County to Malaga, Monroe County, and thence, some
years later, to Duck Creek. Smith became well-to-do, and reared a large family.
