Cooper Farm near Somervile Ohio Butler County

Cooper Farm near Somervile Ohio Butler County

The merging streams of Quakers, fleeing the spread of slavery in the South, brought the Cooper and Lane families together in Southwestern Ohio. The Lanes arrived from North Carolina in 1806, the Coopers from South Carolina in 1807. The Cooper farm lay just outside Somerville in Butler County, and the Lane farm only five miles distant in adjacent Preble County, close to the present town of West Elkton. Being Quakers, both families attended Meeting in West Elkton.
