    Daniel Dunham & family apparently arrived in Washington Co
    OH in 1789. However, there are indications that he/they
    might have been there a year earlier.

    Rufus Putnam and the first Marietta settlers from MA and RI
    took the old road across southern PA to Pittsburg and then
    came down the Ohio River. Persons fro CT who were going to
    Ohio's Western Reserve used lakes and rivers to get to
    Buffalo, NY. They eventually followed the shoreline of
    Lake Erie to get to northern OH and Cleveland.
