This is accually Michael  in the census the "M" looks like a "W" and was
mistaken. It reads "M" Baysinger not "W" Baysinger.The index says William
but on the census page it dosen't say "William".It has what they thought was
a "W" Baysinger . This was where William came from in the index.

History of Doylestown ohio

The first white settler to come into this township was Thomas Frederick, a
soldier of the War of 1812. He established his claim with the government for
the east half of section ten in 1813 and built his cabin about where the
Niehaus home is located at the end of Church Street. Daniel Huffman also
settled on land south of section ten in 1814. The next year Michael
Baysinger took up the southeast quarter of section fifteen, and in the
following year Michael Brouse bough government land in section five. In the
year 1816, Stephen Ford bought the southwest corner of section ten, and also
a number of acres in the southern part of section three. Henry Franks, also
a veteran of the War of 1812, whose exploits among the Indians and as a
hunter were widely known, also purchased land from the government, and
settled upon it in 1816. The following year Jacob Hamm bought the northwest
quarter of section ten, but sold it a year later to Adam Shatto. Peter Waltz
located in the northeast quarter of section three in 1820, and in 1823
Frederick Galehouse brought his family to Chippewa township.
