From "Historic Treasures of Franklin Township, Marion County, Indiana" published in 1978 by the Franklin Township Historical Society, pages 85-87: DAVID MCGAUGHEY - David McGaugher, born in North Ireland of Scottish stock and descended from the Scotch Coventers, was one of the first settlers in Hanilloe County, Ohio, married Miss Lytle and they had five daughters and four sons: Elizabeth Porter, Sallie, Katherine Woodruff, Mary Powers, and Dr David McGaughey, of Morristown In, Samuel, George, and Robert Lytle McGaughey. He was one of the first settlers in Hamilton County, Ohio, along with Nicholas Longworth and Major James Mann and held offices in Columbia Township. He was trustee in 1803 and township clerk in 1804 - 1808. Nicholas Longworth held office aboth the same time. They were also justices. There is a rumor that "Old Nick", or so he was called, fenced off some of the McGaughey's ground and it was finally outlawed by time although the family had tried to get David McGaughey to sign some papers which he neglected. Some of the stated meetings were held at David McGaughey's home and business of township transacted there. Lyman Beecher with his young son Henry Ward, were very good friends and often visited in the McGaughey home. The Kempers were also included in their friends. The old home was located between Allendale and Madeira (now a part of Cincinnati, Ohio). The old neighborhood changed over the years and became the place of millionaires. The old pastures became golflinks and Country Club grounds. In later years Clara McGaughey Williamson and Ruth Brown Adams visited their cousin, Isabelle McIntosh, and saw the old homeplace in the distance, as it was off the road at that time. The hilly country was beautiful and many lovely homes were being built. It is thought that David McGaughey was an Aide - de Camp to General Washington and that the battle of Monmouth was fought on the Lytle farm, which was his wife's maiden name. He was buried in the cemetery of the Presbyterian Church at Pleasant Ridge, Ohio, in an unmarked grave and his wife is buried at Lebanon, Ohio. The "Pictorial Cincinnati Enquirer", dated March 4, 1951, shows a picture of the church and cemetery on Montgomery Road and underneath is written these words. "Legend says George Washington's bodyguard in here". The Historian of the church gave this information in 1947. She found no record of David McGaughey, but in one of the early published histories she found these words. "The grave of an unknown Revoultionary soldier" supposed to be an Aide - de - Camp of Gernral Washington, this grave being close to the front door of the church. The stone was in place until 1880 or there abouts when it disappeared. "The Enquirer" stated that Pleasant Ridge is attractive and a pleasant place to live.
