"In 1814, James and Susannah pruchased a tract of land in Monroe County, Ohio, one mile West of Woodsfield, and James moved his family to Woodsfield until he could build a log cabin on his land. Woodsfield was settled in 1812, and at the time Susannah and James lived there, there were all of eighteen houses in the town; six were hewed log houses and the rest were log cabins.
"James planted an orchard in the woods and then built his log house. When Susannah and James moved into their new home, the forest trees were standing within a few feet of the door, and wolves howled during the night. Long after this, James would rise in the morning to find his sheep all torn and bleeding, damage caused by the wolves."
