My 7th generation gr-grandfather was Louis Columbia. He settled in Ames, Athens County, Ohio, which I believe is fairly close to the counties you refer to here.

He settled in Athens County about 1815, and died there in 1825. He was married to Margaret More Ransted, and they had six children.

I have some information about him, but he has been a hard one to research.

If you could tell me the surnames or the Columbia's you are researching, I can check to see if they were connected to my gr-grandparents.
