John Ogle, HENRY SAMS, and his sons, who were married, andlived near, ANDREW and HENRY SAMS JR., and a family by the name ofHofmire. But little improvement had been made on their farms, and aboutthree days in the week were spent by each family in assisting to buildcabins for new arrivals, or helping to roll their neighbors fields. Theplan was for each one to cut the timber on three or four acres, and theninvite all the neighbors for three or four miles around to roll theselogs into piles for burning. During the work it was expected that thebeneficiary would provide plenty of whiskey, and a supper when the taskwas finished. The logs were cut 12 to 14 feet long, and were handled with"handspikes" alone, as oxen were too slow motioned for the enthusiasticardor of the pioneers. State of Ohio Richland Co.
