On the rootsweb site for this county are many,many listings of families who moved there from Pickaway Co. in the late 1850's and into the early '60's. We are wondering why. Does anyone know why this happened or what the group had in common? Lot's of inquiring minds from Cerro Gordo and Bement and Willow Branch would love to know.

My family from Pickaway were named Peck. I believe it was a George, his ill wife and they had among their kids my grandfather's beloved grandmother Amanda Peck. Any relatives out there?
