[Map]
Map showing the counties of southwestern Ohio. This area includes Greene county, home of the Wilsons and Melvins more the second half of the 19th century, and, Clark county which is where Silas Melvin, a sometimes listed father of Thomas Melvin was buried, AND, the obituary of Thomas said he 'was of Clarke county' with no state name given but the extra letter 'e' is at the end of 'Clarke' whereas the Ohio county name is only 'Clark'.
