what house was built first in the charity rotch neighborhood in massillon ohio
The meeting will be held at the Lillian Beane Center, 1711 â 16th Street SE in Massillon. Built in 1821, Spring Hill first served as the home of Thomas and Charity Rotch, a Quaker couple from New England involved in the Underground Railroad. Upon the advice of Dr. Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia, they moved west to Ohio in 1811 to cure Charity's spotted fever with a healthier climate.
