Biography of John Creath
From ATLAS OF MADISON COUNTY
J.A. Caldwell[Condit OH, 1875]
Page 8
The subject of this sketch was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky, on the 11th day of September, 1797, where he remained until 1811; he then moved to Madison County, Ohio, and is now living in Fairfield Township of said county. He is the father of seven children, six of whom are still living — four boys and two girls. The boys are all living in said county; one of the girls is in the State of illinois, the other is in Iowa. He was captain in the militia for seven years. He owns a farm, consisting of eighty acres, in Fairfield Township, well watered and improved. He was brought up under the Presbyterian discipline, but, at the age of sixty years, connected himself with the United Brethren Church, and has endeavored to live a faithful member until the present time. And now, at the advanced age of seventy-six years, nature is blessing him with extremely good health, and surrounded by all the comforts of life, the respect and esteem of all who know him are heartily accorded to our Madison County's earliest pioneer.
