Additional: The pioneers of the township obtained their
grist, at first, at a floating mill
located on the Scioto, below Chillicothe. Subsequently Crouse's mill was erected
on the Kinnickinnick in Ross Co. and the settlers then went there to mill. The
first grist-mill in this township (Pickaway) was built on Scippo Creek by Daniel
Dreisbach about 1815; there was another mill on the same stream at an early date,
which was owned by Benedict Morris. Christopher Bartley erected a frame grist-
mill
on Scippo Creek, which he ran until his death. Benjamin Shelby, son of David
Shelby,
the pioneer, afterwards bought the mill of Bartley's heirs and moved it down to
the road and rebuilt it. He afterwards added a small sawmill. The property was
destroyed
by fire in the fall of 1871. In 1819 Maj. John Boggs errected, near the mouth
of Scippo Creek, a frame grist-mill of three run of stone; he had previously
erected
a sawmill at the same place. He operated the mill until 1827; on Christmas day
of
that year his son, Lemuel Boggs, was caught in the machinery and crushed to
death.
Major Boggs then retired from active control of the concern, selling a half
interest in the mill to George Kellenberger. There were a number of sawmills on
Scippo
Creek at an early day. At Jefferson, Henry Nevil erected in the first settlement
of the township, a wind-mill which was use for "cracking corn" for some
time. It
was not thought much of by his neighbors or by himself. It was a high structure,
with long, broad fans or wings, and was a terror to the farmers' horses.

tavern,

of the tavern displayed the portrait of Thomas Jefferson, in whose honor the
town was named. Joseph Adamson was the last proprietor of the house, afterwards
removing
to Circleville, where he kept the Valley House. There were two other hotels
built at Jefferson, one of which was the Caldwell house, kept by William Caldwell
and others. There were also the other establishments necessary to a town with
a population of some 300 or 400. There was a brick dwelling in the place, the
dwelling
of Major puthuff, who served in the War of 1812. The hosue finally was purchased
by John B. Moore, who took it down and rebult it in Circleville. In 1840 the
place
had decreased to 85 inhabitants. No vestige of the town now (1906) remains.
Jefferson
and the neighboring town of Livingston in Circleville township, which has also
disappeared, were the resort of the intemperate, idle and dissolute and were a
great annoyance to the sober farmers in their vicinity.
