Notes:

Richard and Sarah moved from Kentucky to Ohio with the Harlans, and settled on land about a mile east of Ridgeville. He purchased land of Heighway, who, like Symmes, could not pay for it, and it reverted to the Government; those who had bought of him had to pay for their land again. (see note below)

NOTE:
The Symmes Purchase, often called the Miami Purchase, is located in the southwestern corner of the state. During 1787 and 1788, the Ohio Company and John Cleves Symmes had purchased millions of Ohio acres on credit from Congress and were permitted to pay one-seventh of the price in federal bounty-land warrants. In 1792, Congress modified this contract. On September 30, 1794, President George Washington signed the U.S. Patent (deed) conveying to Symmes 248,250 acres. Symmes paid $70,455 in public securities for 105,683 acres and used military bounty land warrants, totaling 95,250 acres, to acquire the remaining 142,857 acres. Because Congress allowed one third of a dollar off for bad lands and incidental charges, Symmes actually paid two-thirds of dollar per acre.

By the time Symmes heard that Congress had not granted him all the land that he had asked for, he had already sold much of the land which was not really his. In the hopes that Congress would eventually grant him the rest of the land between the two Miami Rivers, he continued to sell to the incoming settlers during the 1790's. Samuel Heighway was one of the surveying party who came up the Little Miami Valley to survey the lands under the Symmes Contract.

The federal government decided that the land ownership dispute had to be resolved in the Miami country. Congress delineated very specifically which lands had been sold to Symmes and thus were legal sales, and which lands still belonged to the U.S. government and would have to be bought again. Between March of 1799 and March of 1804, Congress passed five Symmes Land Acts which stated, in essence, that all people who had bought tracts of land from the speculator John C. Symmes would be allowed to keep their land if they would apply to the U.S. government for a patent, pay $3.00 to have their tract surveyed, and pay $2.00 per acre on all land they claimed.
