Jesse Nash then removed with his family to Hamilton County, Ohio, where he worked in a boat yard at $1 per day, for one year; he then moved to Brown County and lived three years on a rented farm, when he purchased sixty-five acres, near Woodville, Ohio, on which he lived until the year 1847; he then sold his land and removed to Howard County, purchasing 150 acres in Union Township, near West Liberty. Here he remained until his death, which occurred, November 20, 1856, having survived his wife six years. Mr. And Mrs. Nash were members of the Baptist Church, in good standing.
