Information obtained from E. R. Miles Sr. Family Record P.6,30,66 Genealogy of Viets By Frances Hubeard Viets. Logan Temple. Second source: "Trumbull and Mahoning Counties, Ohio" Vol. #2 Page #520. "The first settlers were from Litchfield county, Connecticut, and several families came from one town-Colebrook. ------The settlement began in 1805. In June of that year arrived Luke Viets and his wife, David Viets, Luke's father," Benjamin may have arrived latter but he is spoken of on the same page "Benjamin Viets settled in the eastern part of the township, south of the center road. His children were Sally and Maria." Page 526 same Vol. "Luke Viets built a small tannery on his farm in early times and operated it a number of years. 'The first manufactory or mill of any kind was a turning shop erected by Benjamin Viets about 1815 in the eastern part of the township. It stood about one-half mile south of the center road, and was run by the water of a small stream. Here he made trenchers or wooden plates, wooden bowls, mortars, and other articles for the use of the settlers." Benjamin left this part of Ohio and is found in Athens County buying land from a Benjamin Miles on 26th day of November 1831, Vol. 6 page 497 at the Athens County court house. This explains how Maria Viets and Albert Miles got togeather and later moved up north to Geauga County, Ohio where they owned some land. This is close to Hiram, Ohio where the Johnson farm is located. The Prophet Joseph Smith lived with the Johnsons which made it posible for Albert and his family to hear and except the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This brought Albert and family west to Utah.
