| Notes |
Catherine Benham VanCleve Thompson was the first white woman to set foot in what is now Dayton, Ohio. She and John VanCleve came to Cincinnati in 1790 when it was still called Losantiville. Within two years of their arrival, John VanCleve was killed by Indians and Catherine married a Samuel Thompson. In April of 1796, the Thompsons decided to move north to the new settlement of Dayton, Ohio, named after Jonathan Dayton, a Rev. war veteran. Three groups of people arranged to go at the same time. Since there were no wagon trails the party which included Catherine VanCleve Thompson opted to travel by flat-bottomed boat up the Great Miami River and arrived before those who traveled overland. The boat trip took about 10 days.
