Elizabeth Fleming married David Wasson on 25 Feb 1804 in the Cane Ridge Meetinghouse, Bourbon County, Kentucky, performed by Barton W. Stone, its pastor. Her father Judge Peter Fleming and Joseph WassonSr. (1744-1822) had acted in concert to select and purchase their land from the Cicinnati land office there near the east fork of the Whitewater that they called "East Fork". David and Elizabeth came to a farm north of New Paris, Ohio in 1808, where they offered refuge to folks who lived farther west during the troubled Indian time called the War of 1812. Later they moved to the new state line, building two cabins where they could eat in one state and sleep in the other. It was in on the new state line(moved from the Greenville Treaty Line) and near the Old National Road in a place called Sycamore Valley, which runs north-south there. They built two cabins, so they could eat in one state and sleep in the other. In 1821, David, a strong and active forty years old, who had served as Deputy Wagoner for their community, taking goods to Cincinnati, succumbed to typhoid fever, which took more lives than any other at this time. A middle-aged Irish school teacher named Jonathan Matchett, whom David had hired to help on the farm, took over the management, and on 20 October 1825 in Preble County, Ohio, Elizabeth became his wife. They had one son, who is named in the will of Judge Fleming. The whereabouts of and place of death of the Matchetts are unknown. This information comes from "Joseph Wasson (1744-1822) and Some of His Descendants" by Harriett Limper, and "George Washington Wasson Memoirs".
