Sheriff Grosvenor

The Marietta Register, January 16, 1873

Ex-Sheriff [Samuel] Grosevnor now lives in the oldest dwelling house in Ohio; we mean that venerable old frame on the Stockade, once the home of General Rufus Putnam, and afterwards, for thirty or forty years, the residence of Judge Nye. It was part of the fort, built in 1790, and is all that is left of that structure. Across the way is the Ohio Company's office, long used by Judge Nye as a law office. It is in good order yet.
