Jean Onan, an exiled French Huguenot, immigrated from England to King William's Town, Virginia in 1700. His grandson, Denis Onan (b.ca. 1720), lived in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and the family moved to Virginia, where Denis died after 1776. Descendants lived in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio and elsewhere.
Anna Eikenhout (1902-1986) was an honors graduate of Ohio State University, a fine-arts librarian, a skilled pianist, and an avid reader in three languages. Harlan Hubbard (1900-1988), a little-known painter and would-be shantyboater, seemed an unlikely husband, but together they lived a life out of the pages of Thoreau's Walden. Much of what is known about the Hubbards comes from Harlan's books and journals. Concerning the seasons and the landscape, his writing was rapturous, yet he was emotionally reticent when discussing human affairs in general or Anna in particular. Yet it was through her efforts that their life on the river was truly civilized. Visitors to Payne Hollow recall Anna as a generous, gracious hostess, whose intelligence and artistry made the small house seem grander than a mansion.
