Notes - George and his brother Nathan moved away from Virginia in the early 1800's. They drove a covered wagon all the way to an area in Ohio near Columbus. Today their families have spread throughout the area. One of the original flint-lock rifles taken to Ohio was converted to percussion cap ignition and was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Scott in 1934. Mrs. Scott was a great-great granddaughter of one of the pioneers. The current location of the rifle is unknown.
A plaque mounted on Nathan and Jemima's tombstone reads,
"Nathan Nethers and his wife Jemima came to Ohio in 1831. They drove a covered wagon from Rappahannock Co, Va. to Musk. Co, Ohio. Jemima walked the entire distance with the exception of one day when she was ill. This plaque dedicated to them on July 10, 1998 by around 100 descendents who travelled back to Nethers Va, Madison Co."
