DANIEL BAUM, SR.

   Daniel Baum, Sr., was born in Mifflin county, Pennsylvania, October 7, 1780.
He moved to Ross county, Ohio, in October, 1805, where he lived twenty years. In
the spring of 1825, he, with his family and others came to this county by water
all the way, landing at a point on Deer creek, where he erected his cabin on
land he had entered.

   Daniel Baum was married in Mifflin county, Pennsylvania, to Assenath Rotrock,
on the 20th of February, 1801, and to this union twelve children were born. The
old Lafayette "Trail" passed by his cabin. His home was known as a refuge for
land hunters. It was designated by the Act of the Legislature of January 7.
1828, as the house to hold the courts of the county. Several members of his
family died soon after he came to the county, namely: George Baum, November,
1827; Mary Baum, December 5, 1827; John Baum, August 27, 1830. Mr. Baum built a
log store house which was used by D. F. Vandeventer as the first store. In 1855
these buildings were still standing.
