The settlement of Neffs, Ohio, might not seem like a very important topic, but it's really a perfect example of how westward expansion took place into the Ohio Territory even before it became a state in 1803. George Neff was my great grandfathers' grandfather (yes, both of my Neff great grandfathers). George Neff started the Neff Lumber Company by McMahon Creek, and the area grew from that. He and his wife, Margaret Ann Helms, had 6 sons and three daughters, and 5 of the boys had original land grants in Belmont County, Ohio. George's younger brother, Conrad Neff, settled farther south near the mouth of Captina Creek at Powhatan Point. Conrad remarried; he had 2 children by his first wife, and 12 more by his second. I have photocopies, made at the Ohio Historical Society Library about 1967, of the page I cite for the article; but I do not seem to have a record of the publisher* of the book. I invite correspondence regarding the Neffs of Belmont County, Ohio, and may be contacted at [removed].--JxnChicory (talk) 19:14, 13 January 2009 (UTC) The article is rated on its importance to WikiProject Ohio, according to WP:OH/A "Non-suburb populations under 10,000 [residents]" constitutes a Low-Importance article. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 21:17, 13 January 2009 (UTC) I located the citation information via the Ohio Historical Society website, and have added the publisher.
