According to Wanda Harrison, Jeremiah and Emelia Gardner Priest had fourteen children, most of whom were born in Virginia. "Around 1793-94, they moved to Bourbon Co., KY (per tax records) where he stayed until at least 1800. At that point he moved northward across the Ohio River toward Cincinnati where he claimed bounty lands in 1805 and settled on land between the Big and Little Miami Rivers, which later became Clark Co."
