An early Clermont County Plat map, shows the
location of J. Scott's land # 586. This is the land purchased by
Jonathan and his brother Seth Dunham. The property is just a short distance
northeast of Amelia. The map shows W. B. Dunham already living nearby with 16
acres. I don't know who he is.

The Christian Church Near Amelia Ohio was organized in the above house in 1828,
by elder John T. Powell, with 10 members, Alexander Thompson, A. P. Thompson,
Mary Ann Thompson, Jonathon Dunham Sr., Susannah Dunham, Jacob Hair Sr., Ann
Hair Jr., Rebecca Galloss, and Susan Dunham. Only two of the the above
members survive and at present there are 98 members. Worship was held in the
Republic House until 1855, when the present edifice was erected, the trustees
being Hiram Wheeler, L. D. Fairfield, and Blair Jeffries, who, with the
exception of Jeffries (deceased), are the present trustees. Twice the house has
been injured by storm, impairing the value, so that at present it is worth only
$1000.Nevertheless, it is a comfortable place of worship. The records concerning
the first decons and elders are vague, but it is supposed that they were A. P.
Thompson and Jacob Hair; successive deacons have been Thomas Sheldon, Hiram
Wheeler, Blair Jeffries; and Thomas Sheldon was also an elder. The clerks of the
church have been Josiah Fairfield, Thomas Sheldon, L. D., Fairfield, and Thomas
B. Croswell. The Latter is also superintendent of a Sunday-school organized in
1851, and which later has been kept up the year round , with good success.p.
