"In an early day Robert Drew walked the entire distance from New Jersey to Arcanum, this county, and from here walked to below Covington, KY., where he put out a crop of wheat. He then walked back to Darke county, and the following summer walked back to Kentucky and harvested his wheat. That was in the early twenties or thirties is more likely. He made his permanant home in Darke County, where he had homesteaded a small piece of land, and he afterwards accumulated much other land, leaving to each of his children a farm." Ref: Cindy Sopko descendant of Robert and my cousin.
