"The settlement at Mather's Mill, on the Miami, (Miami river, Ed) on the Lebanon & Wilmington road, was earlier than 1807, David Van Schoyck and Lewis Rees being there before that time. Lewis Rees built the mill in 1807, when it was disposed of to Richard Mather, who settled there the same year. George Zentmire settled the same year some distance below the mill, and built the dam for Mather. His cabin was by a spring below the mill. In addition to the mill Richard Mather set up a store and smith shop; he brought with him Jacob Ashmead and Richard Taylor as millers. Jacob Horn, a blacksmith; Jacob Longstreth, storekeeper; Samuel Couden, an Irishman; John Frazee and others came the same reason. George Zentmire was a Virginian (George lived in Virginia, but was born in Pennsylvania -Ed) of German descent, spoke the German language fluently and was a Revolutionary soldier. (actually, War of 1812 -Ed) George Zentmire purchased a farm on the river below Freeport, (Freeport was renamed Oregonia in 1882 -Ed) where he died May 20, 1836; his wife, Elizabeth Dunn, died February 18, 1854. Their family, four sons and four daughters, are scattered, one son, Rev. Samuel Zentmire, living at Morrow. The river at this time was amply stocked with fish; brush drags were made to be used as seines, and great quantities were obtained. Fifteen or more deer in one herd was a common sight. Many of the oldest inhabitants assert with great earnestness, that a fight with Indians on the Zentmire farm, and also a short distance above Freeport, took place sometime previous to the first settlement, but no direct evidence of such events can be obtained." --History of Warren County, Ohio, W. H. Beers Co., 1882.
