Note dated 23 May 2013 from Rosemary Hoffman Buffat: Thomas and Mary Dick McIntire are my great,
great, great grandparents. Thomas and Mary did not stay in Winchester, VA. They came to
Harrison twp., Champaign co,. OH where they are buried in the cemetery of Wesley Chapel not far
from Springhills, OH. A couple of years ago I visited their graves and took pictures. Information
concerning this can be found in the book "the History of Champaign County, part 2" on page 782
which says "...About 1813, he(John McIntire, Thomas' brother) and his family of six children, with
two other families, those of Thomas McIntire and Jacob Dick, came to this State in one wagon. The
company consisted of eighteen or nineteen persons and their effects with them. They stopped in
Pickaway Co., Ohio, where the family of Mr. Dick remained. The other two families came on to
Harrison Township, Champaign Co." Sincerely, Rosemary Hoffman Buffat

Information below and Margaret's birth and death dates are given in Portrait & Biographical Album of
Linn Co IA, (Chicago: Chapman Brothers, 1887) in the biographical sketch of son Elijah Dick Waln. p. 620.
"The father (Samuel Waln) of our subject was one of nine children; was reared on his father's farm [in
Frederick Co, Va], and on reaching man's estate was married to Margaret Dick [also of Frederick
Co.].... Samuel Waln had learned the trade of a miller in early life, and after his marriage rented a farm
which he conducted in connection with running a flouring-mill in Frederick County (afterward Morgan)
for several years. He then rented a farm on the cape (sic), Cape Horn (Cacapon) River, in Morgan
County, W.Va., and there followed his chosen calling until his death, which took place May 25, 1829.
Of his union with Miss Dick six children were born, three sons and three daughters--Elijah Dick,
William, Betty Ann, Juliett A., Joseph and Sarah J.
"(Elijah Waln) was fifteen years of age when his father died. In 1830, our subject's mother with her
family removed to Pickaway County, Ohio, making the journey overland with a horse team. Two years
later the mother married a farmer (Joseph Smith) in that county, and continued to reside there until her
death, which occurred Sept. 12, 1868."
Margaret was the daughter of Peter Dick and grew up in the Shenandoah Valley of north central
Virginia. (Some charts name her Margaret Elizabeth but I've not seen any documentation for that. )
Some charts list her as the daughter of Peyer & Nancy Garner but based on a Frederick Co, Va court
case, she and husband Samuel Waln are listed among the 11 heirs of Mary Dick. They are listed as
selling their 1/11th portion of land inherited from Peter Dick, her father.
After her marriage to Samuel Waln, she continued the domestic skills she had learned growing up:
cooking, spinning, making clothing, etc. in addition to caring for 3 sons and 3 daughters. Her husband
became quite successful as a farmer and miller and after their move to Morgan Co, he served as one of
the first county magistrates until his early and unexpected death in 1829, leaving Margaret with a
widow at age 40 with 6 children ages 1-15.
The following year, Margaret moved with her family to Pickaway County, Ohio where several of her
Dick siblings were living. The probable route Margaret Dick Waln traveled with her 6 children was
west along US 40 ( the old national road west to Ohio). The countryside is through the Allegheney
mountains, which are soft rolling hills in this area, and thickly covered with deciduous trees. Though
the counrtyside was beautiful, it would have been a difficult trek in a wagon with six children. The
newly built National Road was primarily a dirt trail wide enough for horse or oxen-drawn wagons, in
places a corduroy road (i.e. made of split logs laid at 95 degree angle across the road--a design meant to
alleviate the mud holes and ruts from overland travel.) Crossing the Monagohela River near Wheeling,
the land becomes more gentle: the hills less steep and the valleys much broader. Perhaps 40 miles or so
east of Columbus, the land becomes comparitively flat allowing one to see great distances. Old National
Road follows the ridge line through Scenery Hill just south of Washington, Pa where still stands a good
sized 2 story stone tavern dating to 1797 and at least 2 log cabins along roadside. Spectacular view of
valleys and hills on both sides of ridge for several miles.
Her oldest son, Elijah Dick Waln, helped care for the family for two years until Margaret married
Joseph Smith in 1832. She continued to reside there until her death in 1868 though several of her
children moved to Highland Co, OH where other friends and neighbors from VA had also moved. She
is listed by name in the 1850 and 1860 census records for Pickaway Co, living 3 houses away from
brother Jacob in 1850. Margaret is buried in New Holland, Pickaway Co, OH alongside her elder
brother Jacob Dick and his wife. Margaret's younger brother, Nicholas Dick is also buried in the same
cemetery. Her second husband, who was almost a decade older, appears to have outlived Margaret by
several years. (Appreciation to Sara Stevens Patton and Michael Wilson for this information.)
