The Fued

 Phinnius Jebediah Boeshart was born and raised on Boeshart road in the Danville area in Ohio. He was content with keeping his family there, but a fued had arisen with an enemy. The enemy in question was Gregory McMannis "Whiskey" Murphy. Murphy was an Irish descendent who had settled the area around Boeshart Road. The Fued stemmed from GMM putting others out if business who were in the distillery business. His practices had hurt a lot of families and drove them into poverty. Boeshart wasn't a fan, and made his feelings known. The Fued started small, but escalated quickly. GMM lost a son in a duel with the eldest Boeshart son. This led to poisoning of PJB's prized horse. GMM then began construction on his new home; during this he bought out the land of those he drove to poverty and demolished their homesteads to make room. PJB decides this was the tipping point. He secretly began the construction of The Estate in a new location, with plans to put GMM's new home to shame. Once construction of The Estate was finished, PJB then took his final measure of revenge, and an ending to The Fued: he burned down GMM's new home who made the mistake of using wood in the construction. PJB then had the road of the burned pile of home name Boeshart Road as an ongoing reminder of what he did. PJB moved his family to The Estate, about 40 miles south west. There are still some descendants of PJB still in the Danville area on Boeshart Road; but the rest of the family lived out their lives on The Estate.
