At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Zanesville was far from being a thriving metropolis. In fact, the settlement consisted of only eight cabins.
According to local historian Thomas W. Lewis, in his three-volume set, Zanesville and Muskingum County Ohio (1927), the early cabins were “John McIntire s and William McCulloch s across the Muskingum from the mouth of the Licking; Henry and Andrew Crooks , at the mouth of Chap s Run; Joseph F. Munro s, near what is now the northeast corner of West Main and Pine streets, (a trading cabin); Elias Hughes , David Harris and J. C. Ratliff s, at the north side of the mouth of the Licking.”
