The Kingsburys settled in a log cabin near the CUYAHOGA RIVER and planted a crop of corn, becoming the first permanent settlers of Cleveland, Ohio, in June 1797. Due to the threat of malaria at their original homestead by the river, Judge James Kingsbury moved his family to higher ground away from the swamps, establishing the NEWBURGH settlement on a ridge southeast of Cleveland. At their new abode, the Kingsbury family prospered and welcomed five more children into the world. In 1800, Governor General Arthur St. Clair of the Northwest Territory appointed James Kingsbury judge of the Court of Common Pleas as part of the organization of the first governmental agency in the Western Reserve. James was elected in 1803 to serve in various positions for the township of Newburgh: trustee, overseer of the poor, lister, and supervisor of the highways. In 1805, Kingsbury was elected a member of the legislature of the state of Ohio.

Judge James Kingsbury died in his Newburgh home on December 12, 1847 and was Buried: ERIE ST. CEMETERY. His body was removed in 1916 and reburied in Highland Park Cemetery. A brook running into the Cuyahoga River had been named KINGSBURY RUN in honor of the late judge. ❤¸.•**•¨*•.¸¸❤¸.•*•*•¨*•.¸¸❤
