Settlers prior to 1798 are difficult to document because of the “Indian menace.” Until the Northwest Ordinance was official, there were no troops to protect settlers in the area. The first documented settlers were members of the family of Samuel Fulton, an uncle to steamboat inventor Robert Fulton.

The earliest settlers spent 
only the daylight hours only on the Indiana side of the river. They posted lookouts on the hillsides to watch for Indians while they cleared fields and built homes, and then ferried across the river for the night.
