Rummel's extensive research and lists of family and church members: Obannon Creek/Stonelick Church was the first German Baptist Brethren (COB) congregation north of the Ohio River and probably the oldest existing church west of the Appalachians. It was founded in 1795. "There were three early Dunker settlements inClermont County, Ohio. The earliest was Obannon Creek on the Warren County line, off the Little Miami River, where the Bowmans and Millers were original settlers. The Bowmans lived north in Warren Co. Two of these earliest Millers,David and Daniel, lived south of Goshen, at the corner of Goshen Road and the Woodville Pike (Daniel was the first local minister installed at the Obannon Church). Both brothers had to move north to the Dayton area. This was the Virginia Military District, the lands were given as payment to Revolutionary Veterans, sales of these lands in the East pushed the original settlers from their homesteads (soon after 1800)."
