[edit] History

Maurice Witham received the patent for this land from President Thomas Jefferson on November 28, 1803. Witham was a Baptist preacher from Maine. He started the Ten Mile Baptist Church at 829 Ohio Pike (which is where Glen Este-Withamsville Road intersects with 125).

Several of the founders of Withamsville are buried in the Mount Moriah cemetery. However, Maurice Witham died somewhere near Chillicothe, OH in 1807. His scalped and mutilated body was found near Chillicothe and buried in an unmarked grave.
