* In 1813 Daniel Pricer of Chester County Pennsylvania purchased 750 acres in Paint Township Ross County, Ohio, from Thomas Worthington. The family settled there (Pricer's Ridge) in 1814, including all the grown children. They were members of South Salem Presbyterian Church and many were buried in South Salem cemetery Ross County Ohio. Source: Ross County Ohio Families, information provided by Joanne C.

This article describes the view that was seen from Pricer's Ridge "A most wonderful view greets the eye, looking toward the north and west, over a section of country which students call the beginning of the Central Plains which extend westward to the Mississippi river. Shifting one's position a little to the east and looking down into the valley of Upper Twin, affords what some world Travelers have termed the most beautiful view in the world."
The house is described in the following manner. "About half a mile south of the Mount Olive school site, stands the old Pricer house built by Daniel Pricer in 1816, as the date cut in a stone high in the western gable of the house tells the story. The house is partly stone and partly frame, the stone structure being laid up of great blocks of sand stone quarried on the farm. Many of the stones are beautifully colored with the yellow and brown weathering of the one hundred and twenty-one years of the old home's life. The great fireplaces, the cavernous cellar under the stone structure, mark the house as a mansion when it was built in Worthington's Sugar Camp, which was the name given the tract of land which Daniel Pricer purchased from Gov. Themas Worthington. This tract comprised between seven and eight hundred acres, all in time, the many maple trees growing on every part of it suggesting the name."
* "Daniel Pricer belonged to a group of Calvinistic people of German extraction, who settled in eastern Pennsylvania. He came to Ross county in 1813, returning the following year for his family."
"The five sons of Daniel Pricer, living on joining farms, all had large families and there was much merry making among the young people. There is a story coming down through the years that if the boys and girls of any of the families decided that they would like to have a party after the chores were done, they simply blew the dinner horn and the cousins from the other farms would gather in for an evening of wholesome fun."
"The name of this family has undergone considerable change. Originally "Preusser sometimes spelled Preisser, Prizer or Prisor. Daniel Pricer spelled his name in a business transaction recorded in 1814 as we spell it today."
