"Jacob Op-den-Graeff, one of Abraham's four children, had a son named
Joseph, who settled in York, Pennsylvania.Joseph was married twice. One of
his sons, Nathan, David Updegraff's grandfather, moved from Pennsylvania to
Ohio, establishing his home near what is now Mt. Pleasant. There he built a
large flour mill, which was quite successful and became known as Updegraff's
Mill. Nathan was also a farmer and one of the area's most influential
citizens. He was a delegate to tho Ohio Constitutional Convention in
Chillicothe in 1802 and is reguarded as one of the originators of that
