From the Grether Family Extended on Roots World Connection.
In my April 15, 2016, blog entry, I wrote about James Poage (also sometimes spelled Pouge) as being the founder of Ripley, Ohio.
James Poage was born in 1760 in Augusta County, Virginia. he died 19 April 1820 in Ripley, Ohio.
He was a surveyor, farmer and trapper.
During the American Revolution he was a lieutenant in the Augusta County militia.
Later he was the county surveyor of Pochahontas County as well as a farmer, Indian trader and founder of Ripley, Ohio.
