Inscription.
The Leming House. . Miami Township, established 1801, was one of five original townships in Clermont County. Among early settlers in Miami Township were the Leming family of New Jersey. In 1806, four Leming brothers, Ezekiel, John, Gabriel, and Charles, arrived here and began farming. In 1844, Ezekiel’s son Randall H. Leming, purchased 160 acres of land in Mulberry from Paul and Rachel Megrue. Here they constructed their home, now called the Leming house. Over the years several additions were made to the house but the front part is the original section. The Leming House is representative of mid 19th century life in Miami Township.
