A man went to Ohio and settled on a farm near Huntsburg in Geauga county.

The evidence

• “He was now seventeen years. Engaging as a canvasser for the sale of a book, he spent some two years with good success, and then, in 1835, went to Ohio and settled on a farm near Huntsburg in Geauga county. A return of his former ailment soon compelled him to abandon farming, and he again found employment as a salesman, and engaged with a friend at Elyria, Ohio, in the manufacture of silverware and in buying and selling jewelry and shell combs.”
