• Notes

  Jacob Zentmeyer, grandson of Johann Bernhard Zentmeyer through his son Jacob, moved into the Buffalo Valley around 1810, and his descendants lived there until well into the early 1900s. The Buffalo Valley was also the home of Nathaniel Strayhorn, who moved there in the late 1700s and whose offspring populated the region until the late 1800s.
