Gallia county it was in a very wild state; no roads, mills, or any
conveniences. His father taught school, and was the first justice of
the peace elected in Guyan township. Harrison Fowler, by hard work
and careful management, has obtained a large farm, located in Guyan
township, which is in first-class condition. He ‎[Harrison]‎ was married in this county, October 10, 1840, to Aromenta mart, who was born in Giles
