"...It is now November [1817], and two families have settled near the center. I will mention first Mr. Aaron Root's family, already in their log house, built by their oldest son, Pomeroy, during the summer [1817] , one-half mile west of the center [ Grafton Township in then Medina County, Ohio now Lorain County]. Mr. Root was from Pittsfield, Berkshire County. Mr. Root, while a widower in Pittsfield, with five children, was married to Mrs. Anna West with five children; three became members of Mr. Root's family. They were called Uncle Aaron and Aunt Anna during their life time. Their children's names were [John] Pomeroy, Samuel, Ashley and Mary Root, Caroline, Albert and Clarinda West. The two youngest born to this couple were Frederick and Oliver."
from Pg. 259 - Grafton History as written by Mrs. Harriet I. Nesbett who arrived in Grafton township with her family in 1816-1817.
