The land west of the Great Miami River had not been inspected at the time, and was therefore not for sale to settlers. Edward Bebb, Ezekiel Hughes, and others, had to camp nearby for around 4 years until the land came on the market. When the chance came, Edward Bebb bought half a parcel of land from the Government in Dry Fork, Morgan Township, Butler County, where he built a wooden cabin. He then embarked on a return journey to Wales to visit his home district of Llanbrymair and to look for a partner.
