History of Geauga and Lake Counties, Ohio; Philadelphia: Williams Brothers, 1878, p. 212
[Lake County, Painesville Township]
In 1800 came George Calwell from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and purchased of the Connecticut Land Company three hundred acres of land at ten shillings an acre. His purchase embraces within its limits the present city of Painesville. The company's agent--Lemuel G. Storrs--urged him to take three hundred acres more, but the sandy nature of the soil and the wild appearance of the country at that time dissuaded him. He built his cabin on the spot where Taylor's harness-shop is located, and being a blacksmith by trade erected a shop on the lot adjoining that on the west, on which the "City mills" are located. Some fifteen or twenty years afterwards he sold this farm, and purchased one on the South Ridge, a portion of which is now occupied by Harvey Woodworth. He subsequently moved into Perry and purchased, and there died in 1846. In January of 1796 he married Mary Thomas, and became the father of twelve children, of whom the following named are living: Lydia, now Mrs. Henry Barker, resides in Michigan; Mary became the wife of Salmon Cone, and lives on the South Ridge, in Painesville; George, who resides at Fairport, married Amanda L., daughter of Delano and Olive Dexter; she came to Painesville when sixteen years of age. Jonathan also lives near the lake shore in this township. He married Amanda Beam (deceased), and subsequently Jane Williamson.
