    "William Sampson came from Kentucky to this township (Franklin), settling in the western part of it, in what was known as the “ Flat woods,” and was among the earliest settlers. The land he entered was a beautiful, level tract of woods; and the cabin erected, and in which he lived some years with at numerous family, is yet standing, one of the oldest landmarks in the township. Mr. Sampson was one of the earliest school teachers, and a justice of the peace for sixteen years. Some of his descendants are yet living in the township. He died of cholera in 1833." -- History of the Ohio Falls Cities And Their Counties, Vol. 2, page 259
