How Pickaway Township, Pickaway County began
The 1906 county history opens its account of Pickaway Township by calling it more historically important than any other place in the state: this is the Pickaway Plains, the 'Garden Spot of Ohio,' where the Shawnee towns of Cornstalk's Town and Grenadier Squawtown stood in October 1774 when Lord Dunmore's War came to its climax at Camp Charlotte, the Virginia militia's encampment on Scippo Creek. On what later became the Boggs family's Elmwood Farm stands the Logan Elm, under which the Mingo leader Logan is traditionally said to have delivered his famous lament, though he in fact refused to attend the treaty council in person and gave the speech only to a single go-between; the tree, once one of the largest American elms on record, died in 1964 and the site is preserved today as Logan Elm State Memorial. White settlement began in 1796 or 1797 along Zane's Trace, drawn by plains so fertile and treeless that no clearing was needed before the first crop went in, and two unexcavated Adena burial mounds, the Arledge Mounds, still stand southeast of Circleville.
Settled 1796 or 1797 (Caleb Evans, on Scippo Creek on the Pickaway Plains), incorporated before Pickaway County was erected in 1810; no exact organization date survives.
Where the name comes from
The township's name, like the county's and the Pickaway Plains themselves, derives from the Pekowi (also rendered Piqua) band of the Shawnee, who inhabited the area in the eighteenth century. No source consulted states explicitly that the township was named directly for the Plains rather than for the county, but given that the Plains make up most of the township's area, that is the plainest reading of the record.
Before the town
No section of Pickaway County is better documented for Native American history than this township. When Lord Dunmore's army entered the Ohio country in October 1774, several important Shawnee towns stood on the Pickaway Plains: Cornstalk's Town, named for the Shawnee leader Cornstalk (Hokolesqua), stood just north of where an iron bridge later crossed Scippo Creek on the Chillicothe turnpike, and Grenadier Squawtown, named for Cornstalk's sister Nonhelema, called by settlers 'the Grenadier Squaw,' stood just south of that same bridge. Camp Charlotte, the Virginia militia's encampment under Lord Dunmore, was pitched on Scippo Creek in the southwest quarter of section 12, while a separate force under Gen. Andrew Lewis camped several miles away on Congo Creek, in the southeast quarter of section 30. There, on October 19, 1774, Dunmore and Cornstalk concluded the Treaty of Camp Charlotte, ending Lord Dunmore's War: the Shawnee agreed to stop raiding and hunting south of the Ohio River and to allow free river navigation. The Mingo (Cayuga) leader Logan (Tachnedorus, also called Tah-gah-jute or John Logan), whose father, brother and sister had been killed at Yellow Creek that April, refused to attend the council himself; Dunmore sent the trader John Gibson to find him, and Logan delivered his lament to Gibson alone, in the woods, with no other witness recorded. Gibson carried the speech back to camp, where it was published in the Virginia Gazette in 1775 and later reprinted, in a version now impossible to verify against any original transcript, by Thomas Jefferson in his 'Notes on the State of Virginia.' The tree under which this exchange is traditionally placed, the Logan Elm, stood on land later settled by the Boggs family; it died in 1964 and the site is now Logan Elm State Memorial, owned by the Ohio History Connection. On what these sources describe as friendly terms, small numbers of Shawnee and other Native people continued to camp, though not to keep villages, in the township for some time after white settlement began. Two Adena-culture burial mounds, the connected Arledge Mounds, survive unexcavated southeast of Circleville and are protected as the Adams Archeological Preserve. One common association does not hold up: Old Chillicothe, sometimes associated with the Pickaway Plains generally, is placed by the 1906 county history's own map notes at Westfall, four miles below Circleville, in neighboring Wayne Township, not in Pickaway Township itself.

Timeline
- — Virginia settlers kill members of Logan's family at Yellow Creek, an event that draws the Mingo leader into the war that follows.
- — The Shawnee under Cornstalk are defeated at the Battle of Point Pleasant and retreat north across the Ohio River to the Pickaway Plains.
- — Lord Dunmore and Cornstalk conclude the Treaty of Camp Charlotte on Scippo Creek in section 12, ending Lord Dunmore's War; Logan, declining to attend, sends his lament through the trader John Gibson instead.
- — Logan's speech, as carried back by John Gibson, is published in the Virginia Gazette; it is reprinted years later by Thomas Jefferson in his 'Notes on the State of Virginia.'
- — Caleb Evans, generally credited as the township's first settler, arrives on Scippo Creek on the Pickaway Plains; his daughter Mary, born June 8, 1798, is probably the first white child born in Pickaway County.
- — George Fryback and his family settle on Scippo Creek in section 7, moving the following spring to the mouth of Congo Creek.
- — Capt. John Boggs and his son Maj. John Boggs, formerly of Wheeling, settle on the Pickaway Plains; Maj. Boggs later owns the farm on which the Logan Elm stands and builds a brick house there in 1816.
- — Henry Nevill lays out the village of Jefferson on the Pickaway Plains as a rival for the county seat; the 1906 county history gives both dates in different passages.
- — The first term of the Court of Common Pleas for Pickaway County is held at Henry Nevill's house in Jefferson, before Circleville is chosen as county seat.
- — Jefferson, having lost the county-seat contest and much of its population, has declined to only 85 inhabitants; no trace of the village remains today.
- — The Logan Elm, weakened by Dutch elm disease, dies of storm damage.
- — The Arledge Mounds (Adams Archeological Preserve) and the Mount Oval house are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, on July 30 and July 25 respectively.
Stories
The Council Logan Never Attended
When Lord Dunmore's army and the Shawnee met at Camp Charlotte in October 1774 to end the war, one of the most consequential figures on the Native side was not present at all. Logan, a Mingo leader whose family had been murdered at Yellow Creek that April, had already taken his revenge in raids across the frontier, but when the time came for peace talks he stayed away from the council entirely. Lord Dunmore sent the trader John Gibson to find him, and the two men walked into the woods alone, where, after weeping, Logan delivered the speech that Gibson then carried back to camp. No other witness to the moment is recorded. Published the next year in the Virginia Gazette and later given wide circulation by Thomas Jefferson, the speech became, in the words of one 1906 local history, 'the most famous speech ever given by a Native American' — and one whose exact wording rests entirely on a single interpreter's memory of a conversation no one else heard.
A Tree Older Than the Treaty It Marks
The Logan Elm was already a large tree when Lord Dunmore's soldiers camped nearby in 1774, and it kept growing for nearly two more centuries: by the time it died in 1964, weakened by Dutch elm disease and finally brought down by storm damage, it stood 65 feet tall with a crown 180 feet across and a trunk 24 feet around, among the largest American elms ever recorded in the country. It stood on land that passed to the Boggs family, who built a brick house nearby in 1816, and it survived the felling of the forests around it, the platting and abandonment of the rival village of Jefferson a few miles away, and the growth of Circleville into the county seat. The state eventually took the site into public ownership as Logan Elm State Memorial, so that a tree associated with a speech no one recorded firsthand still draws visitors to the ground where it stood, long after the elm itself was gone.
Two Rival Towns on the Plains
Before Circleville existed, two other towns competed to become the seat of Pickaway County, and both stood in what is now Pickaway Township. Henry Nevill laid out Jefferson on the plains, and for a time it prospered enough to host the county's first Court of Common Pleas session, held at Nevill's own house. But when the commissioners chose the ancient circular earthworks at Circleville instead, Jefferson's fortunes reversed; by 1840 the town had shrunk to just 85 residents, and today no trace of it survives. Livingston, a rougher settlement a few miles away in neighboring Circleville Township, met the same fate for the same reason. Both towns are remembered now only in the pages of the county history that recorded their brief rise and disappearance.
