“Jackson County, Ohio. History and Families” Published 1991
John Davis Callaghan and Margaret Hutchison were married in 1792 in Bath County, VA and moved to Ohio in 1811. They first settled in Ross County, but finding the area too wet, they moved in 1812 to Jackson County and located on land southeast of Jackson, near Madison Furnace. It is said they were heading for the Dayton area but met families fleeing that area due to cholera so they stopped in Ross County.
