1 HENRY OPDYCKE.

Born 1774 in Bethlehem, Hunterdon Co., N. J.; moved to Sussex Co. After the death of his first wife he married (about 1802), in New Jersey, Catherine, daughter of Philip and Mary Cummings; she was born 1779 and lived to 1854. After the birth of his fifth child, Clarissa, Henry moved 1810 to Ohio, and settled in Greene Co., near Dayton. He had learned the trade of millwright, but never ran a mill until he built one for himself in Ohio. He owned the west portion of the land on which Bellbrook i?? built; the town was laid out in 1816 by Stephen Bell, Henry Opdycke and James Clancy; it was named Bellbrook, at the suggestion of Mr. Opdycke, for Mr. Bell and the numerous rivulets in the neighborhood. The first Marshall of the town was Silas Hale, son-in-law of Mr. Opdycke. Henry Opdycke was about 5 feet 11 inches in height, and weighed 180 pounds. He was accidentally killed while digging a well near Bellbrook in 1825, at 50 years of age.
