"The first settlement in Bethel Twp, in which New Carlisle is located, was by David Lowry, which settlement was in 1795. He married Sarah Hamer of Miami County. They had four children: Sarah, Nancy, Susan and Elizabeth. The daughter Nancy married William Wilson; they were the parents of Mary Elizabeth Wilson, hereafter mentioned, who married ***JAMES ROWLAND STAFFORD."
***JAMES ROWLAND STAFFORD was born in the log house built by his father. He spent his entire life on the farm, it passing to him at the death of his father, James C. Stafford. He was a student of Pike School, and attended school one year in Springfield, Ohio.
He was a man of considerable pride in his younger days; in accord with the custom of many of the Staffords and Blacks, he wore a silk hat, Prince Albert coat and silk vest.
He married Mary Elizabeth Wilson on 29 Dec 1858. He followed the occupation of farming, together with being interested in the various enterprises in the community. He and George J. Stafford were the contractors who built the turnpike from New Carlisle through the Stafford neighborhood and to the Miami County Line. Prior to the building of this turnpike the mud road was almost impassable for many months during the year and it was not an uncommon occurrence to see a vehicle mired in the mud hub-deep. ..."
