from Findagrave contributor Angie H.:
Matilda Owens, daughter of John and Deborah Owens, came to Dayton before 1805. She was one of the first Methodists in Dayton, and joined the class of which William Cottingham was leader, when seventeen-years old. After her father's death Matilda and her mother lived in a cabin on the lot on Third Street where Mr. John H. Winters now lives.
William Roth owned the west two-thirds of the original lot number 127, on which he had two cabins and a rope-walk along the west side of his lot. He married Matilda Owens, pulled down the old cabins, and built the two brick houses that are still standing on the lot, now owned by his daughter, Miss Carrie Roth. After her marriage, Mrs. Roth was confirmed in the Episcopal Church, soon after its organization, and Miss Roth has in her possession the following receipt:
"Received of William Roth $3.00, being pay for his seat in meeting-house.
JAMES HANNA. March 15, 1821."
