[HI48694] (Research):Rootsweb Boards: Seeking information on 3 brothers, Frederick, Jacob and Solomon Ambrose, s ons of William Henry Ambrose, that migrated from Frederick County, Maryla nd to Champaign County, Ohio. Trying to connect my ancestor, Caleb Ambros e, b. abt. 1802, that also migrated to Champaign County. Would like to g et additional information on these families (note, some children are missi ng, need additional information) Jim Veregge Delijim@aol.com

Johann Frederick was baptised in 1741 either in PA or MD he is the s on of Mathis and Catherine (Spongh) AMBROSE. Mathis is one of the founde rs of the churches in the Thurmont, MD area. It is his land that the Appl es Church is built and he is buried. He came to America in 1732 through Ph iledelphia. His stone is writen in German. Liz Stitley stitree@webtv.net

Following from Ancestry World Tree There were AMBROSES in the Maryland/Virginia area as early as 1635, but th ey appear to have been English. This Henry AMBROSE was definitely German a nd probably a first or second generation immigrant as German appears to ha ve been the family's first language. The Morgan County Historical Socie ty has a prayer book which belonged to Henry's son, Mathias. His notatio ns are written in English, but the book was printed in German. The fami ly belonged to the United Brethren Church and the German language dominat ed in that General Conference until 1833.Many researchers have thought Wil liam Henry was the son of Mathias (1696-1784), who immigrated from Germa ny in 1732; settled in the Monocacy area in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania a nd later moved near Thurmont, in Frederick County, Maryland. Contributi ng to the confusion was the German naming practice whereby a child's fir st given name was a baptismal, religious name; and the second or middle na me was the secular, "call" name by which the child was known both in the f amily and the community. Thus, William Henry (Wilhelm Heinrich?) and Mathi as' son, Augustus Heinrich, both appear in contemporary records simp ly as "Henry Ambrose".Augustus Heinrich was named the son of Mathias wh en he was deeded a part of "Arnold's Chance" by his father in 1759. Wh en he sold this land in 1761, his wife was shown as Mary Eve. In Mar ch of 1771, he sold his portion of "Arnold's Delight" to his brothers, Phi lip, Jacob, and Mathias. Again, his wife is shown as Mary Eve. Most resear chers indicate William Henry was married to Sarah during this same perio d. I have found no primary source to support this assertion. However, a He nry Ambrose of Hampshire County, Virginia, and his wife Sarah sold a 50 ac re parcel located on Sleepy Creek in August of 1815, almost four years aft er Henry Senior's death. Presumably this is Henry Junior. Could an earli er researcher have mistakenly assumed this deed was executed by Henry Seni or? In fact, we have no proof that William Henry was born in 1740, or indee d, that his name was "William" Henry.Curiously, Mathias' son, Augustus Hei nrich, disappears from the records of Frederick County after his sale of " Arnold's Delight" in 1771. Is it coincidence that William Henry first appe ars in the records in Berkley County, Virginia, in 1772? At this poin t, we still have many more questions than answers, and any relationsh ip to Mathias remains unproven.On 17 Nov 1772, our Henry AMBROSE signed t he lease (for 5s.), and purchased the following day (for £375 Pennsylvan ia currency), 400 acres on the middle branch of Sleepy Creek in Berkeley C o., Virginia. This is near present day Berkeley Springs in Morgan Count y, West Virginia. Formerly called Bath, it was called Medicine Sprin gs on a map drawn in 1747 by Thomas Jefferson's father. The 74 degree mine ral water flowing from Warm Springs Ridge drew Indians to this site long b efore colonial settlers arrived; and the State Park Service operates a s pa there today. In 1772 it was located in Berkeley County, Virginia, which included that p art of old Frederick Co., Virginia, which is now Berkeley County, West Vir ginia, plus a western portion of what is present-day Morgan County, West V irginia. Morgan County was not formed until 1820, and West Virginia was fo rmed in 1861 when Virginia seceded from the Union and the counties of west ern Virginia refused to secede and organized a separate government support ing the Union.The deed refers to Henry Ambrose "of the County of Berkel ey and the Colony of Virginia". Thus, we know that Henry was living in th is area of Virginia prior to his purchase. His son, William, indicat ed on the 1850 census that he was born in Maryland, so they must have mov ed sometime in 1771 or early 1772. Henry AMBROSE is found on the Rent Rol ls of Berkeley Dist., Virginia, in 1772, between 1774 and 1781 and aga in in 1787. He is also listed in Land Owners, 1st Battalion, Berkeley, Vir ginia, between 1784 and 1794; except for 1786 when only the 2nd Battali on was listed. According to Cecil Ray Ambrose, the farm owned by Hen ry at the time of his death was "located on the Old Frederick grade (now M organ-Frederick grade) and as of 1980 belonged to Paul Myers.Henry may ha ve served in the Revolutionary War. The records of his service have been l ost; but according to Cecil Ambrose [1975] the military pension file for p rivate Michael WIDMYER [National Archives No. S-11857] contains a depositi on by Mathias AMBROSE in which he states that "his father, Henry AMBROS E, was a Captain in the Berkeley Co., Virginia, Militia in which Michael W IDMYER was a private; that Mathias' brother and Michael WIDMYER were draft ed into the Army from the Militia Company in September 1780; and that h is brother was subsequently killed at the Battle of Guilford Co., North Ca rolina (50 killed on 15 Mar 1781)". Cecil Ambrose thought this referr ed to Mathias’ brother, Peter. But Peter, if born in 1772, would have be en too young to have served in the Militia.Another pension application fi le for Jesse WALLER (S-4719), states that he was a resident of Berkeley Co unty when he entered the service, that he served under Captain AMBROSE ( as well as several others); and that after rendezvousing at Martinsburg h, Virginia, he served at Fort McIntosh until his term expired in Februa ry 1779.Family legend says Henry was present at the surrender at Yorktow n. On October 19, 1781, Charles Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, V irginia, to General George Washington, thereby ending the War for Independ ence. Henry did provide supplies to the Army of the State of Virginia duri ng the war. Public Service Certificate No. 414 dated 6 Feb 1781 is a recei pt to Henry AMBROSE and five of his neighbors for 16-1/2 bushels, 6 quar ts of wheat; for which they are to be paid "333 pounds, 15 shillings curre nt Money".The family was intimately involved with the establishment of t he United Brethren, and later the Methodist Church in this country. In 196 3, Fred T. Newbraugh, a church historian, referred to the Berkeley ar ea as "a crossroads for the Christian soldiers going to and from the West ". One of the early Bishops of the United Brethren Church was Rev. Christi an Newcomer, whose journal (translated from the German) mentions the Ambro ses:July 25, 1799 - went to Ambroses where a two day meeting had been appo inted.Aug 7 1800 - began a meeting on Sleepy Creek which lasted through Su nday. Never have I witnessed the power of God in so great a degree amo ng so many people. Meeting was protracted till late at night and many fou nd peace. Next day crowds greater, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Mennonites, B aptists and Methodists all drew near the Lord's table. Aug 9, 1800 - Our meeting [was] at Sleepy Creek. Brother Geeting follow ed me. We stayed the night with brother Ambrose. Aug 30, 1811 - I reached the place of meeting, Crum, Duckwall and Reiser w ere there. Christian Crum spoke first. At night we had a meeting at Ambros es. A separate building, to be used only for church services, was a luxury the se early settlers could not afford. Services were held in a member's hom e. The Ministers were itinerant. They traveled from one congregation to t he next and several months might pass before they returned. When a chur ch was finally built, it was often shared by several congregations of diff erent faiths.Great meetings were held once and sometimes twice a year. Usu ally, someone would have a barn which could accommodate the huge crowds, w ho would travel for miles to hear famous preachers. "The preaching was pos itive and dogmatic. 'Thus saith the Lord' settled all questions. After goi ng over the circuit and preaching gratuitously, they [the preachers] we nt home. They built no houses of worship, gave no attention to the traini ng of the young, set in motion no working activities, and collected no mon ey, unless for the benefit of the poor. So the preacher came, preached, a nd went home, and he paid his own way. He worked on his farm. All the peop le had to do was to hear the preacher, feed him and his horse, and wait ti ll he came again."I have not found mention of William Henry as a lay preac her, but it would be surprising if he were not. At least one son, two gran dsons, and one great grandson are known to be ordained ministers; and ma ny descendants and in-laws were lay preachers. The Ambrose Chapel in Berke ley Springs is built on land which Henry deeded to his son, William, and o thers "for the erection of a free meeting house where any minister of t he Gospel of Jesus Christ might preach his doctrine". The present Chap el is said to be the oldest church in Morgan County and has recently (199 9) been restored. It was built in 1851, near where a much older church h ad stood. According to Cecil Ambrose, the church is built on land which w as originally a part of the 400 acres purchased by Henry in 1772. He divid ed this land among his children about 1797 and set aside one acre for a Fr ee Meeting House. Mathias purchased all the other's shares, and after h is death, the 400 acre parcel was advertised for sale "with the excepti on of one acre reserved for a Meeting House".The named heirs in the esta te of Henry AMBROSE, were sons Mathias and William, and daughters Margar et RIZER and Catherine CLAUVER. He died intestate, so why his other childr en were not named as heirs in the Chancery Court proceedings is not explai ned. At least six of the eight others were probably still living at the ti me of his death. His son-in-law, George RIZER, was named administrat or of his estate. Henry died owing a bond of £300 to Susanna B. STOR M. In September 1814, Susanna obtained a judgment against the estate for £ 150, plus interest, plus $15.51 costs. George RIZER filed an accou nt on 13 May 1815 showing a balance of personal property of 257 dollars a nd 2-1/2 cents. Since the estate had insufficient (cash) funds to pay t he judgment, Mathias paid Susanna $200, for which sum, Susanna signed an a cquittance of all claims and demands against the estate.At the time of h is death, Henry owned 142 acres on the South Fork of Sleepy Creek. It is n ot clear why this land was not sold to close the estate. Perhaps Henry's w idow, Sarah, was still living and wished to stay on this land. Perhaps the re was difficulty getting releases from William and Catherine, who had bo th moved to Ohio. In any event, after Mathias' death in 1842, his estate m ade application to force the sale of the 142 acres, to repay the $200 adva nced to Henry's estate by Mathias. The sale was ordered and the land was s old at Commissioner's auction on 25 Mar 1844. An interesting, but unexplai ned sidelight to these proceedings, is that according to the 1787 Cens us of Virginia - Berkeley County Tax List A, Henry AMBROSE paid the tax es for himself, son Mathias, and a "P. STORM". 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Birth: 1740 Note: Several IGI references say he was born in Maryland; but none list pa rents for him, so this may not be correct. "Graveyards of Morgan County" i ndicate his birthdate was 1740, but state the information is from "other s ources". His tombstone has not been found. 8 9 Death: 1 NOV 1811 in Berkeley County, Virginia 10 11 Burial: Ambrose Chapel Cem., so of Berkeley Springs, Morgan County, West V irginia 12 Census: 1810 Berkeley County, Virginia Note: One couple, over 45, is presumably Henry Senior and his wife. Sin ce all the other children are accounted for, I believe the second coupl e, 26-45, is Henry Junior and his wife, Sarah. This would explain the chil dren listed: one male and two females under 10, and one female 10-16. Anot her female is shown as 16-26. She is unexplained. The household includ ed no slaves. 13 Source Contact: Pat Asher Home Page: Pat's Ambrose Genealogy pasher@ee .net

According to "Howe's Historical Collection of Ohio" by Henry Howe, he w as one of the first settlers in Champaign County. The History of Champai gn County says he came to Ohio in 1799. He settled on the Mad River, in wh at later became Champaign County. When Urbana was later laid out, he mov ed to town and started a pottery. He also engaged in the mercantile busine ss, was quite active in local politics, and served as one of the early she riffs of the county, from 1821 to 1825 and 1833 to 1847. He was list ed as an Elector for Champaign County, 8 Oct 1811; no. 22 in a li st of 87 voters. He was also elected Treasurer of the County from 18 40 to 1847. He and and his first wife, Jennie, had nine children, but on ly four have been found. He had six children with his second wife, Mary, b ut again, only four have been found.

HISTORY OF CHAMPAIGN COUNTY. - 585 GOSHEN TOWNSHIP. BY W. H. Beers The flouring-mill now called Hunter's Mill was built in 1823 by Jonathan C heney.

876 - BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. GOSHEN TOWNSHIP . JONATHAN CHENEY (deceased). To the subject of this sketch we are pleas ed to accord a place in the biographical album of this work. He was bo rn in August, 1816, in Union Township, Champaign Co., and was prominent ly identified with the history of the county. As far back as his patern al ancestors can be traced, they inhabited the Isle of Man. In about 177 0, Thomas Cheney and four sons-Thomas, William, Joseph and Ebenezer-emigra ted from the Isle of Man to America, locating in Massachusetts. The fath er and three sons were engaged in the battle of Bunker Hill, in which t he former, then a man of about 70 summers, was killed by a chain-shot. Tho mas, Jr., emigrated to Harrison Co., Va., where he reared a family of so ns and daughters, four sons of whom-William, Benjamin (the father of our s ubject), Jona than and Ebenezer-became pioneers to Champaign Co. Benjam in was married to Sarah Cochran, a native, also, of Harrison Co., Va., fr om where they immediately emigrate," to Ohio, locating in Champaign C o. in about 1808. The journey was made on horseback, bringing all their me ager earthly possessions with them. Benjamin inherited nothing but an hone st name, good business habits and a vigorous intellect. His cabin was erec ted in the wilderness of Union Township, where his industry and perseveran ce soon carved out a farm and home. He was conspicuously identified with t he early political as well as pioneer history of the county. He served f or a number of years as Justice of the Peace, and his proceedings in his o fficial capacity are to be found among the early records of the count y. As a member of the State Legislature for twelve years, he discharged h is duties with fidelity and commendable zeal. He was possessed of more th an ordinary business sagacity, and accumulated, before his death, a lar ge landed estate, consisting of nearly 2,000 acres. He never moved from h is first location, his death occurring there in 1834, and that of his wi fe and one son about the same time, all dying of typhoid fever. In his dea th, the community recognized the loss of a valuable citizen and useful mem ber of society. He had seven sons and one daughter, of whom our subject w as the fifth child. His entire life was passed upon the farm on which he w as born. He was early taught the art and dignity of farming, and, as regar ds integrity, business habits and a vigorous intellect, his father's mant le fell upon him. In his life, he was honored as a good and useful memb er of society, ever found interested in whatever pertained to the common w elfare. He filled with the strictest integrity numerous offices of honor a nd trust; was two years a member of the State Legislature, and for twel ve or fifteen years Justice of the Peace. He possessed many sterling chara cteristics, his devotion to the right being fearless. His life was given p rincipally to farming and stock-raising. In 1836, he married Rachel, daugh ter of John W. and Eleanor (Duval) Williams, by whom be had eight sons a nd three daughters; one son and two daughters deceased. He died March 6, 1 864. lamented by all who knew him. His son, J. H. Cheney, was born De c. 1, 1839, in Union Township; was reared on a farm, and has made farmi ng his life occupation. Aug. 14, 1860, he married Beatrice Tullis, a nati ve of Goshen Township, and a descendant of early settlers; be lived in Uni on and Goshen Townships till about five years ago, when he moved to his pr esent place in Mechanicsburg. He served a time in the late civil war. M r. and Mrs. Cheney have three sons and one daughter.

[HI48761] (Research): line has been traced back to Christian Cook (Koch) who moved to Montgome ry County, OH in 1806 from Pennsylvania. ‘The History of Montgomery Count y, Ohio’ contains biographies of Ezra and Frederick (Ezra’s father), and s tates that Christian’s father came from Germany, but so far that is all I’ ve been able to determine about his parents.

[HI48767] (Research): He is listed as living with Christian and Bessie Cook in the 1910 cens us at 13 years old. That would place his birth date at about 1897 therefo re Nettie was probably his mother. Curt lived on the same road as we d id (N. Montgomery County Line Rd.) as far back as I can remember and I kn ow Dad bought our property from him. I believe one of his daughters is st ill living there. Curtis married Lyda Penny (b. 1897, OH d. 14 Jul 1965 T roy, Miami Co, OH) about 1917. I’ve lost track of how may children they h ad (it always seemed like a lot!). The only one I knew well was the olde st Carl (b. 28 Dec 1918 d. 10 Oct 1997). The 1930 census lists Earl H., J ohn Clarence Jr., Pauline L, Dorothy H, and Robert E. I know Curt is no l onger living but I haven’t been able to find a death date. Jan says it w as after 1987, but can’t pin it down any closer.

JOSIAH G. TALBOT, hats and caps. Mr. Talbot belongs to one of the old fami lies of Urbana. He is the son of Josiah G. Talbot, who was a native of Mar yland, and served as a Lieutenant in the war of 1812. He was a hatter a nd furrier, and removed from Xenia to Urbana, in 1823, for the purpo se of getting nearer the fur supply, and continued in business here unt il his decease, in 1854. His wife was a daughter of Capt. Forsythe, of Can ada. She could speak the French, English and Indian tongues. She once din ed with Tecumseh an Little Turtle at Ft. Wayne, and was present at Hull 's surrender, the Captain who was then in command having married her on ly sis ter. She afterward came to Dayton, where she met Lieut. Talbot. T he subject of this sketch was born April 26, 1828, while his mother, wi th other members of the family, was visiting her people at Thames, Canad a. He has been occupied in merchandising since 1851, with the excepti on of six years spent in farming. He engaged in the hat and cap busine ss in 1877, which business descended from his father through the han ds of several members of the family. The store is located at No. 35 Monume nt Square, and is the only exclusively hat and cap establishment in the ci ty. He married, in 1860, Mrs. Lavina Lapham, by whom he has three childre n, one son and two daughters. Ila is a member of the Grace Methodist Episc opal Church, and was the organizer of the Howard-Weaver Mission in 1866, a nd has had charge of it since. Mr. Talbot is an earnest Christian worker a nd an estimable and worthy citizen.

Ohio Democrat 9/13/1855 (CCGS Newsletter Spring 1992 pg39) Died on the morning of the 12th inst, after protracted suffering, from ast hma, Capt Josiah G Talbott in the 71st year of his age. And thus has pass ed from among us, another of the venerable pioneers of the west, whose liv es have been devoted to our protection, our prosperity and happiness and w hose memories will be cherished throughout time. The deceased was born ne ar Fredericktown, Maryland on the 25th day of August in the year 1785, a nd with the care and of pious parents was, in his infancy, baptized in t he methodist Episcopal Church at the City of Baltimore, by the hands of t he Rev John Wesley. At the age of nine years, he was taken with the fami ly of his uncle, ----Groves, to the first settlement of the village of She ppardstown, Kentucky, where he remained , until arriving at years of matur ity, he determined upon the new state of Ohio as his future home, and so me time before the war of 1812, settled at Xenia, in Green County. Upon t he breaking of the war, he entered the service in the defense of his count ry, and his meritorious conduct at once secured for him the appointme nt of 1st Lieutenant, in a company which was afterwards attached to the re giment of militia commanded by his brother, Col Richard Talbott, with wh om he served actively until the close of the war. The only active engageme nt in which he was permitted to take part, was at Fort Defiance - his fi ne personal appearance, his savity of manner, and his gentlemanly and hono rable bearing having pointed him out to the superior officers, as valuab le in the recruiting service; and his great success and efficiency in th at department, caused him to be detained in that service until peace was d eclared, and further recruits were no longer needed. After the strugg le of his country was over, he returned to his home, and remained quiet ly in the pursuit of his trade, as a hatter, until the close of the year 1 815. He formed a matrimonial alliance at the then twon of Fayton, with Mi ss Forsythe, a daughter of Captain Forsyth, of the English Army, and a nie ce of Maj Forsyth, of the American Army, who was so well and so favorab ly known to all the old citizens of Urbana and of the Mad River Valle y. In 1823 he moved to this town of Urbana, where he has ever since reside d, and where he has died, leaving no enemy behind him, but a whole communi ty of devoted friends who have admired and loved him through life and w ho deeply and sincerely lourn with his bereaved and afflicted family at h is loss. A more extended notice will be given hereafter.

He was around 30 years old. We h ad grown up thinking (and even my mom thought this) that he had died of T B. But my aunt got of copy of his death certificate and it listed “hea rt attack”. About 4 years after Chester died my grandmother married Chest er’s younger brother, Lester. So my mom’s step-father was also her uncle!

[HI49019] (Research):I am looking for a connection to the Neese family for Samuel Neese, bo rn 25 oct 1805, in Shenanoah Co. Va. He married a Catharine Lutz in Mt. Ja ckson, Shenandoah Co. Va. in 1828 or 1829. They eventually moved to In d. and then to Doniphan, Ks. He was my Great Garandfather.. My Grandmoth er was a Caroline Neese born in Ind.. Also looking for a connection to David Nee se and Alfred Neese ( Father of Georgia Neese Clark Gray. 1'st Women treas ure of the US. Jerry Schletzbaum

Samuel Neese, ( My Great Grandfather ) was born in Shenandoah Co, V a. on 25 oct 1805. He married Catharine Lutz, born on 23 mar 1808 in M t. Jackson, Va., in 1828 or early in 1829 At Mt. Jackson. Sometime therea fter they moved to Champaign Co, Oh., living there until 1843. They mov ed to Perkinsville, Madison Co., In. where they lived until 1855. At th at time they moved to Doniphan, Ks. where Samuel died 17 Sep 1873. Samu el had 8 Children. Frank Marion, born 5 Mar 1851; Caroline, born 1 Apr 18 48 in perkinsville, In.; Matilda E., born 14 Nov 1844; Sarah Jane, bo rn in Ind.; Amanda P., born 16 Feb 1834, she married a Smith; William who died in the Civil war on 2 J an 1863 at Fayetteville, Ak.; Joseph (we have no information on him); a nd David, born 18 Mar 1833 in Champaign Co., Oh. Note that David is Buri ed in the Pleasant Hill Cem in Richland, Ks. Along with 40 or more Zerkle s. ( Is this a part of your Zerkle family branch..? If you are not famil iar with this you can go to google, type in "David Neese, Richland Ks." a nd Pleasent Hill Cem., Neese / Zerkle listing will appear. I hope you m ay find this information useful. I have tried to contact a nelson Ted Smith w ho made an inquiry on one of the web pages about David Neese but my E ma il keeps comming back..I wonder if you have had any contact with h im or if you have a current E mail address.. Again thank you for you previ ous efforts in helping me. Jerry Schletzbaum..

Fran: I might be getting a little closer. Buried in Pleasent Hill Cem. n ear Richland Ks. is a Catherine Neese Born 10 Apr 1798, Died 1 Feb 187 5. Could this be Catherine Koch wife of george Neese??? She is buried n ext to David Neese ( my Grandmother's brother or 1'st cousin) we have lett ers from david which indicate either relation. David was born 18 Mar 1833 and died 31 J ul 1919. He married Mary Ellen Hullinger Born 9 Mar 1838 and died 30 Ap r. 1906. There is a Joram B. Neese born in 1837 and died 1931. ( I belie ve this may have been a brother to David. Also in this cemetery is Elizab eth Zirkle Born 1818 and died 1901 and a Jacob George Zirkle born 21 Nov 1816 and di ed 25 may 1896. Their are many other Zerkle's buried in this cemeter y. Is this family a part of the Henry Neese, Jacob Neese, Ruben Neese fam ily from Oh, to Perkinsville In. ?? My Grandmother Caroline Neese was bo rn in Perkinsville Madison Co., In. 1 Apr 1848.

Re: 1880 census Doniphan Co. Frank Neese is Frank Marion Neese a brother to my Grandmother. Catherine Neese is Catharine or "Sarah Lutz. She was really 73 years o ld at this time.

David Neese is my Grandmother's 1'st cousin Frank Neese is david's son and the father of Georgia Neese Clark Gray Laura Neese is davids daughter. Nora neese is david daughter. we have pictures of frank and his family and correspondence between dav id and my Grandmother Caroline Neese.

Fran: I know that Catherine or " Sarah" Lutz had a brother by the Na me of William Lutz as we have a letter from him to his sister. I believe th at it was from Mt. Jackson, Va.

Shenandoah Co., VA NEESE, Samuel, LUTZ, Cathrine 17 Feb 1832

the marriage of Samuel Neese and Cathrine Lutz in 1832 is like ly to be my Great Grandmother and Grandfather; However, Catharine's Obi t. said that she married in her 20th year.. which would have been in 18 28 or 1829. David Neese, the 5th child of Johann George Neese Jr. is a de finite match. David died on 1 Feb 1875 and is burried with his wife Mary Ellen Hullinger, bo rn 9 mar 1838 and died on 30 Apr 1906. Also the birthdate for a Catheri ne born 10 Apr. 1798, buried beside David and Mary, matches your birth da te for Catherine Koch wife of Johann George Neese Jr. If the informati on that I have in correspondence between my Grandmother and David is corre ct, David was her 1'st cousin.. This would make my Great Grandfather Samu el Neese a brother of Johann George Neese Jr. I would appreciate it if y ou could pass this information along to others researching this bran ch of the neese, nehs family. Someone in the Zerkle family may be very in terested in the listings for the Pleasent Hill Cemetery, Richland, K s. It is located about 3 miles west of what was once Richland, Ks. Th is is about 15 miles south of Topeka, Ks. ~~~~~~~~

Some of you may be getting this more than once, and I'm also using some o ld addresses which may not be good. However, the Nehs/Zirkle lists have b een rather quiet so maybe we can get a discussion going again. So folks, l ook through your info and see if you can place Samuel. I think David Nee se is the s/o Catherine Koch and Johann George Neese. Thanks for your hel p.

[HI49449] (Research): Sunday, May 11, Mothers Day, we lost our dearly beloved Sander Rose. O ur hearts are broken into a million pieces. I cannot even begin to descri be the grief we are experiencing.

As you know, we have been fighting an infection in her head of some forei gn object that she somehow breathed up her nose. It has been migrating thr oughout her sinus passages since last December. It settles in one place a nd then abcesses. Her head swelled up like a baseball and we took h er in to have it lanced open and drained, hoping to flush out whatever for eign body was inside. We always hoped it would be flushed out each time, b ut we were not successfull. It is more than likely microscopic or as sma ll as a grass seed. Since December she has had 4 of these "lancings" usi ng drain tubes.

Sander has been overly sensitive to anesthesia. Each time she had one of t hese "lancings", she would take several days to recover from the anesthesi a. Normally dogs recover within 24-48 hours. She took days and one time o ver a week for recovery, experiencing diarreah, vomiting, lack of appetit e, etc.

The last time we took her in, the vet did a more aggressive surgery and ma naged to eliminate the foreign body. He flushed her head and sinus caviti es with a saline solution and said that "lots and lots" of blood, puss, a nd debris was washed out. After 5 days, she was still not eating, still vo miting, etc so we took her back. Knowing she had hard times recovering fr om anesthesia, we were not TOO concerned. Her white blood count w as up to 30K so expecting she still had infection, they gave us injectio ns to give her daily of an antibiotic. The next day, she passed out for so me reason and began walking like she could not stand up. Calling the ve t, he said to give her a dramamine until we could get her there the next d ay. Her blood tests showed her red blood count was down to 26 from a norm al 40. They kept her there to complete more tests and found that afterno on she had a fatal blood disease called AIHA "Auto Immune Hemophylic Anemi a". It is most common in female middle age spaniels. It is fatal and we we re not given much hope from the start. She was too week to begin with to t ry and fight it from the anesthsia reaction. The passing out was from t he lack of oxygen to the brain. (Red blood cells produce oxygen) By the n ext day her red blood count was down to 15, then the next day 9. At 10 th ey reccommend a blood transfusion, but they don't usually work. The body s ees the new blood as a "foreign" thing and tries to fight even more, weari ng itself down. We had been traveling every morning to Las Cruces ( 75 mil es from our home) to see her and give her some love and support. The on ly thing a transfusion MIGHT accomplish is to give her body a few extra da ys while her red blood count came up. We made the decision that if her r ed blood count dropped lower than 9, we would do it. The next day it w as up to 15, so we became optimistic. The underlying problems were too eno rmous. Due to the massive amounts of injections of steroids, she develop ed stomach ulcers and began vomiting blood. Being in critical anemia, h er organs were failing. It had not helped that she had not eaten in 12 day s. This was Sunday and the office was closed. The on-duty emergency vet sa id we could come to visit her Sunday afternoon, as she seemed depressed th at we did not go to see her earlier. Before we had a chance to go see he r, the vet called back to say she had passed away. He thinks it was hea rt failure.
We can second guess ourselves and say a lot of "woulda, coulda,shoud a" but it wont bring her back. We both feel responsible for her death. T he hurt is beyond words. We buried her in the back yard under her favori te tree, about 15 feet from her mother, Monita.
The very same day we buried her, we went to the breeder in nearby Arre y, New Mexico to pick up Sandi's new puppy and we ended up taking her on ly surviving sibling too. The joy of these 2 new puppies has eased the bur den of the loss of the older ones.

HISTORY OF WABASH COUNTY, INDIANA DR. ANDREW J. SMITH, was born in Champaign County, Ohio, December 30, 183 0. His parents lived on their farm a few miles west of Urbana where the Do ctor remained until eighteen years of age. His parents were of German desc ent, frugal, honest and industrious, from whom he inherited that indomitab le energy so characteristic of his life. Limited means and opportunities o ften awaken a latent purpos and nerve the arm for greater achievements. T he fettered intellect longs for mightier fields of conquest, and gaze s, as the shipwreck mariner far out upon the great ocean, with a namele ss longing. As a rule our best men come not from the cradle of wealth n or the couch of luxury, but from the humble walks of life, from the worksh op and the farm. Difficulties present themselves, mountains rise in the pa thway, chasms yawn here and there, but these only awaken in the brea st of him who is truly great a quicker throb of determination. His combati veness is aroused, and with his eye upon the goal at the end of the ra ce he perseveres. Let honor be given to whom honor is due; and he who mee ts alone the battles of life, and conquers its difficulties and himsel f, is deserving of the honor. DR. A. J. SMITH acquired such education as w as possible in the district schools. But these droppings from the founta in of knowledge only added intensity to the parched and fervid desire f or learning. At the age of eighteen, enthusiastic and wholly self-relian t, he determined to draw nearer where he might drink more deeply. In 184 8, he entered the Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, where he continu ed his studies for one year. He then passed to Miami University at Oxfor d, where for three years he alternately taught and attended college. In 18 52, he was married to MISS. HENRETTA D. ROSE, of Milford Center, Ohio, a nd the following year moved to Somerset, Ind., where for four years he pur sued the study of medicine in the office of DR. DICKEN. In the winter of 1 856 and 1857, he attended a course of medical lectures at Rush Medical Col lege, Chicago, Ill. In the autumn of 1857, he moved to Wabash and engag ed in the practice of his profession. In 1858, owing to failing heal th he retired from the practice and spent two years in the country. Regain ing his health he returned to his work with all the zeal and ardor of t he rising young physician. In 1863, he was appointed by GOV. O. P. MORTO N, Senior Assistant Surgeon of the Second Indiana Cavalry, in which positi on he served with great acceptance for two years, participating in the var ious skirmishes and battles incident to the cavalry service. Ready, self s acrificing, patient, enduring, by his noble acts of kindness to the sick a nd wounded, he won for himself the esteem and admiration of the entire com mand. At the expiration of his term of service, he returned to his ho me in Wabash, and to the great comfort of this patrons, to the practi ce of his profession. He associated himself with DRS. GILLEN & BENNETT, wh ich alliance was terminated by limitation in the fall of 1870. Desiri ng to perfect himself more fully in his chosen work, he re-entered the Chi cago Medical College for a term of six months, and graduated March 14, 187 1. Fully equipped to meet successfully the difficulties of the professio n, he again returned to Wabash. Since January, 1874, he had been associat ed with DR. R. T. BLOUNT, a gentleman of high standing in the professio n, and of far more than ordinary moral and mental attainments. DR. SMI TH is a member of the American Medical Association, the State Medical Soci ety and the Wabash County Medical Society. He is a member of the Masonic O rder and also of the I. O. O. F. He is a member in high standing of the Me thodist Episcopal Church, and holds the office of Trustee of that societ y. He is the father of six xhildren, one of whom died in infancy -- GERALD INE ROSE, born May 16, 1853; ALICE L., born February 18, 1856; DAVID WARRE N, born March 22, 1858; H. IDA, born May 16, 1865; infant son, born and di ed April 09, 1867; ANNA L., born August 12, 1868. On the 4th of March 188 1, he lost his beloved wife. Silently and unexpectedly the messenger cam e; but what was her husband's and children's loss was heaven's gain. A dev oted Christian, a loving mothr, a faithful wife, she was beloved and mourn ed by all who knew her. July 14, 1878, she united with the Methodist Episc opal Church. She was connected with all the various branches of Christi an work, and her daily life shone as an example of that which she professe d.

WILLIAM E. WOOLLEY
for many years was one of the prosperous, well-known and highly respected citizens of Perry township. He was born in Champaign county, O., June 7, 1844, and died on his farm in Perry township, Shelby county, July 30, 1899. His parents were Charles and Barbara (Speice) Woolley, farming people in Champaign county. William E. was their eldest child, the others being: Anna, wife of David Dormire; Ella, wife of William Nicehorner; Mattie, wife of William Neal; and Josephine, wife of Dr. Hunt. William E. Woolley attended school near his father's farm and no doubt the sessions were held in a log structure, as was the usual custom when he was a boy and perhaps his opportunities were very meager. Nevertheless he became a well-informed man and during a busy and useful life performed all the duties and accepted the responsibilities which come to one as a good citizen, a peaceable neighbor, a kind husband and indulgent father.
He learned the wagon-making trade in early manhood and followed the same until he became a farmer. On May 16, 1872, he was married to Miss Nancy Jane Johnson. She was born in Perry township, a daughter of James and Lafey (Newman) Johnson, both now deceased. The father of Mrs. Woolley was a native of Shelby county, while her mother was born in Logan county. Mrs. Woolley has one brother, Charles William Johnson. To Mr. and Mrs. Woolley the following children were born: Cora, who is the wife of C. M. McCashin, of Perry township; Charles, who married Mabel Ritter; she being now deceased; Ora, who is the wife of John Lorton; Daisy Belle, who is deceased, was the wife of Chester Staley; James C., who married Edna Ward; Frank; Harry; Grace, who is the wife of Wallace Lockard; and William. Mrs. Woolley and children attend the Methodist Episcopal church. She continues to reside on the valuable home farm of 108 acres, which is her property.

Carey, at 1:30 o'clock that morning, at the National Soldie rs home in Dayton, Ohio, where he had been a patient in the hospital for t he past year and a half. For many years Mr. Carey had been afflicted wi th facial cancer which was the direct cause of his death, and he was a pat ient sufferer until death came as a merciful relief. He was in his 83rd ye ar at the time of his death, having been born in Defiance County, Ohi o, in the year 1838. At an early age he removed with his parents to Piqu a, Ohio, where he grew to manhood. Here he learned the trade of a tanne r. It was while living here also that he met and married Sarah J. Perry w ho for more than half a century was a faithful helpmate, her death occuri ng seven years ago. More than fifty years ago Mr. and Mrs. Carey came to C hampaign county, where the deceased has since resided. He responded to the call of his country during the days of the Civil wa r, being a member of Co. E., 147th Regiment, Ohio National Guards, and ser ving under Captain F. C. Johnston. He received an honorable discharge fr om the service at Camp Dennison, August 31, 1864.

[HI49525] (Research):This beloved brother and member of the Ohio Annual Conference fell asle ep in Jesus November 28, 1945. He was born near Urbana, Ohio, September 1 2, 1870, the son of David Clark and Sarah Jane Carey. Previous to his unit ing with the Conference in 1918, he was for some years active as a local p reacher, holding revivals in schoolhouses and halls, winning many to Chris t. During the few years of his effective relationship in the Conferen ce he served pastorates at Troy Circuit,(4) New Carlisle, Westville and Co ncord, Bradford, Tremont City, and McComb. On account of impaired heal th he took the retired relation in 1929,(5) and moved to Los Angeles, Cali fornia, where he died.

In California his health improved sufficiently for him to carry on such wo rk as teaching in the Sunday school, and in pastoral visiting. A few yea rs after going to California he was added to the staff of First Church, L os Angeles, as "Pastor of Visitation." Failing health compelled him to res ign this position some months before his death. During the later mont hs of his life he suffered much, but his faith did not waver. As a pastor- visitor he entered multitudes of homes, and his ministry was blessed of Go d. He brought comfort to thousands of bereaved and sorrowing people, and c onducted as many as eighty funerals in a single year.

He was married to Melissa Waldron in October, 1894, and to them were giv en three children, Warren, Ruth, and George who, with their mother,(6) res ide in Los Angeles.

Funeral services, with Dr. Don H. Tippett pastor of First Church in charg e, were held in the church December 2 -- the largest funeral ever he ld in First Church -- and interment was made the next morning in Forest La wn Memorial Park.

4 The "Troy circuit" may have included Raper chapel, which is on the ed ge of the present town of Troy. A list of burials at Raper chapel is avail able on the world wide web. 5 This date doesn't agree with the likely date of George's arrival in Sout hern California, from the note on the picture above. 6 This piece of misinformation also indicates a lack of familiarity on t he part of the author with his subject, who by this time had been away fr om Ohio for a quarter-century. On 12 Jan 1937, George married Anna Elvi na (Purdue) Plunkett, who died on 5 Sep 1946.

The Rev. George Edward Carey was a minister in the Methodist Church. In t he early days of the 20th Century, he served a number of small congregatio ns in rural Ohio. In true Methodist "circuit rider" tradition, he drove fr om Urbana in horse and buggy each Sunday to preach at churches in such ti ny hamlets as Lena, Conover and Fletcher. To make ends meet, he and his br other, the Rev. Charles J. Carey, who was a minister in the Evangelical Fr iends denomination, painted houses and barns during the week.

From about 1914 to about 1920, George was the pastor at Raper1 Chapel, ne ar Troy, a rural Methodist church which had been attended (and possibly fo unded) by his Carey and Winans ancestors in the early 19th Century. He bec ame interested in learning more about these ancestors and corresponded wi th Maj. Ira Winans, who was trying to compile a history of John Winans' de scendants in North America. George's research was expanded upon by his so n, Col. Warren E. Carey, and is the basis of much of what you see on the se pages.

On 2 June 1921, Rev. George Carey presided at the wedding of the paren ts of my 5th cousin, Don DeWeese, in Ohio. We don't know if he was still s erving as the pastor of an Ohio church at the time. That fall, George's yo unger brother, Sam, moved his family to Santa Monica, CA. Soon afterward s, George moved his family, which included his wife, Melissa Waldron, a nd their grown children Warren, Ruth, and George, to Los Angeles.

Of George's three children, Warren and George each married, but had no chi ldren. Ruth never married. I was given Warren's name as my middle nam e. He was my inspiration for taking up genealogical research. by Chuck Car ey cwcarey@earthlink.net

Samuel W. Carey, one of Urbana's progressive and enterprising florists
of Urbana, is a native son of this county and has lived here all his life. He
was born on July 14, 1879, son of David and Sarah J. (Perry) Carey, the
former of whom was born in this state and the latter in Pennsylvania and
the former of whom is still living at Urbana at a ripe old age.
David Carey was born in Defiance, this state, but when he was a child
his parents moved to Piqua, where he received his schooling and where he
grew to manhood. While living in Miami county he married Sarah J.
Perry, who was born in Franklin county, Pennsylvania, and who was but
four years of age when she came to this state with her parents, the family
first locating at Gallipolis and later mioving to Piqua, where she was living
at the time of her marriage. Shortly after his marriage David Carey came to
Champaign county and became engaged in farming at Lippincott Station,
later moving down in the Dugan Valley section,. where for thirty years he
was engaged in farming. He then moved to Urbana, where he is still living.
one of the oldest and best-known residents of that city. During his residence
on the farm Mr. Carey was quite extensively engaged in the raising
of broom corn and after moving to Urbana became connected with the
Urbana Broom Company and was thus connected until his retirement from
business some years ago. To him and his wife seven children were born,

[HI49565] (Research):Graduates of Urbana High School 1884-1900 submitted by Pat Stickley in CC GS Newsletter June 1996 pg 31 Melissa Waldron-Carey Class of 1889

Melissa, daughter of James H. and Sophia Waldron, was born in Mad River To wnship, Champaign County, Ohio, on September 19, 1871, and parted this li fe at her home at 2344 West 31st Street, Los Angeles, on November 15, 193 0. She was the eldest of a family of seven children, five brothers and o ne sister - all survive her, who with aged mother reside in the Middle Wes t, while her father preceded her in death in the year 1919.

Early in her life the family moved to the county seat, Urbana, where she a ttended the public and high schools, and was graduated from the latt er in the class of '89. After following the vocation of instructress in t he schools over a period of four years, she followed her natural inclinati ons and was united in marriage to her sweetheart from childhood, George Ed ward Carey, on October 3, 1894, the ceremony being solemnized by the la te Rev. Samuel W. Carey, uncle of the groom.

To this happy union were born three children, Warren Earl, Ruth Mildred, a nd George Paul, all of whom survive to mourn the irreplaceable loss sustai ned through the passing of a loving and solicitous wife and mother.

In early childhood she offered herself and her all to Christ her Mast er on confession of faith, and allying herself with the First Methodist Ep iscopal Church of Urbana, has ever continued a willing and faithful serva nt in his vineyard never, however, forgetting her position in the ho me as a guide and loving counselor to those who placed their trust and con fidence in her worthy care. Being ever deeply interested in the many activ ities of the church, served admirably to fit her for the position of an ea rnest and efficient co-laborer for God beside her husband, upon his ent ry into the work of the Christian ministry following their marriage, in t he old Cincinnati (now the Ohio) Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Chu rch. This ardent desire to be of constant service and spiritual comfo rt to her fellow men manifested itself up to the hour of her departure in to the bigger, fuller life, affording help and comfort to the remaining lo ved ones.

"Sometimes long after the sun is gone, As we watch at the close of day, The sky is bright, with a lingering light, 'Midst the evening shadows gray.

"Long after a beautiful life is gone To that fairer land on high, Our lives are bright with a lingering light-- For a true life cannot die." --Written by her son, Geo. Carey, Jr.

After George Carey's move to California, he served at Los Angeles' First M ethodist Church. He baptised me and my brothers and officiated at the fune rals of several Carey and Perry family members. The following obituary, al so from Ohio sources,(1) appeared after his death. Submitted by Chuck Car ey cwcarey@earthlink.net

Melissa's obituary, which appeared in an Urbana newspaper after her dea th in 1930, provides some details of George's career:

[HI49569] (Research):This was John Perry's obituary:

John Perry was born December 5th, 1802, in Venango County, Pa., and died M ay 23, 1889, near Urbana, Ohio, aged 86 years, 6 months and 18 days. On t he 4th of June, 1834, he was united in marriage to Mary Ann Smith, who f or forty-six years worked faithfully by his side, and then, about nine yea rs ago, passed on before him to the better world. They had nine childre n, five of them boys and four of them girls. Seven are still living. One d ied in infancy, while Anna, well-known to many here present, died in Los A ngeles, California, March 5, 1887. Of those still living, one, S. M. Perr y, is in California; while James and William live in Indianapolis and Jo hn L. resides in Kansas. Mrs. Snyder and Mrs. Carey, as also D. S. Perr y, reside in or near Urbana.

Father Perry left the place of his nativity in 18471, the five oldest chil dren having been born in Pennsylvania. He and his family descended the All eghany and Ohio Rivers in a family boat constructed for the purpos e, to a point near Gallipolis, Gallia county, Ohio, where they resided f or three years. From there they removed to Piqua, Miami county, Ohio,2 a nd from there, in 1862, to Champaign county, where he has lived most of t he time since, except two years in Indiana and Kansas,3 while living wi th his children.

Father Perry was originally a member of the Seceder church, now the Unit ed Presbyterian, having been united with that religious body in early boyh ood, and was one of the strictest of the sect, and especially so in rega rd to Sabbath observance. His children still have a vivid recollecti on of the Shorter Catechism, and the invariably enforced rule with the old er children was to read from three to six chapters of the New Testament a nd to recite portions of the Catechism every Sabbath, while laughing alou d, whistling or any other amusement was not permitted.

During his residence in Indiana in 1867, there being at that point no Unit ed Presbyterian church, he united with the Methodist Episcopal church, a nd has ever since been a very enthusiastic member of that denominatio n. He greatly prized, appreciated and enjoyed the institutions of Methodis m, especially the class meeting, which he loved as few love it, and whi ch he never failed to attend as long as his health would permit. Brother P erry had a profound experimental knowledge of religion. He was quite famil iar with the Scriptures and with the best hymns of the church. His class m eeting experience added to his store of religious knowledge. He w as of an emotional temperament and it was a common thing for him to bre ak out in praises to God when some blessed truth of religion had been utte red. His favorite expression was "Glory to God", which he always spoke slo wly and with emphasis, indicative of the reality of the feeling correspond ing to the words. I saw him and conversed with him quite often, and his re ligious fervor was like an unfailing stream, for it had its source in t he fountain of eternal life.

The one thing that impressed me most in Father Perry was the blessedness a nd comfort which genuine religion gives to its possessor in age and feeble ness extreme. Although he had every care and attention which could be best owed upon him by loving hands, and was constantly surrounded by loving hea rts, yet Christ was his portion, and in Him he found his chief joy in h is declining years. He loved society, but it was the society of the godl y; and when with them he seldom talked except upon the subject of religio n, the one subject of all absorbing interest to him. -- C. W. Rishell.

John and Mary Ann are buried together at Oakdale cemetery in Urbana, alo ng with their daughter Sally, her husband David Carey, and several of the ir descendants.

[HI49602] (Research):In the book I mentioned earlier to you, "Denman - Frisinger and Allied Fam ilies" [1987], your family (Abraham & Margaret [Stickles] Denman, is fou nd on page 42. He is the 2nd of 5 [1st marriage] & 13 [total] childr en of Nathaniel Denman, born 20 Aug 1780, Essex Co., NJ, and his 1st wif e, Susannah Gray, married 24 Jun 1801. Abraham was born 4 Mar 1804, marri ed 30 Dec 1825 to Margaret Stickles. They had 7 children, the 2nd being Hi ram, who would fit your 'H. B.' Of Nathaniel Denman, the entry says, '[hi s] Will was written 12 May 1819 and probated 8 Apr 1836, Hamilton Co., O H, he having been a resident of Sycamore township. He was one of 25 origin al members of Mt. Carmel Baptist church which was constituted 20 July 1822.

In turn, Nathaniel was the 5th son of one Joseph Denman, b. 1723, d. 178 2, Essex Co., NJ. Joseph married twice, and and the name of his 2nd wi fe is known, luckily the mother of Natianiel. His mother's name was Mary T hompson and she married Joseph Denman, 6 Sep 1767, Elizabethtown, Union Co ., NJ. Joseph was the son of John Denman, b. 1700, Westfield, Essex Co., N J, d. 15 Mar 1775. He married [1st] 1721/22 in Westfield to Mary Eliz. Wi lliams 'of Welsh descent' b. 1700, d. 27 Mar 1762. She was the mother of Joseph. This goes on back through three more John Denman 's to the first known, b. 1591 in Retford, Co. Sussex [UK]. There is a lo ng discussion of various Denman possibilities into the Middle Ages, etc. T hey first immigranted to the Mass. Bay Colony, then to Long Island, th en to NJ.

Now, back to "my" James B. Denman s/o John & Rebecca. The same Joseph Denm an who was father of Nathaniel Denman, described above, had a son, Josep h, Jr, b. 30 Dec 1776 near Elizabethtown & Westfield, Essex Co., NJ, who m arried Phoebe Mills, b. 13 Feb 1783, d. 23 Mar 1864, d/o Samuel & Ruth ( …) Mills. This Joseph went to Miami Co., OH, who died there, 1 Aug 184 5. He had served in the War of 1812. For this couple a researcher is cit ed as naming 9 children, none of whom is John, but the researcher quotes a LDS birth entry [IGI] for a John Gilman Danman [note s pelling difference in surname] said to be a son of this Joseph Denman, J r, and his wife's name was Rebecca Polser, whom he married in 1836. The re is a gap in the birth order of Joseph, Jr's children that would accommo date an 1816 birth. However, of the dozen named children of this John Gilm an Danman and Rebecca Polser, none are named James B. (All this confirms w hat you produce below, the 1836 marriage.) And since it all focuses on Mia mi Co., OH, I feel this is probably the right family.

(I received the data bef ore the book was published so I don't know if the following is included w ithin the publication or not.) Sent my Denise May Mahan Moore/Lew Ellingham 6/1 4/2003

"Isaiah Helon Kite was a handsome, witty and adventuresome soul whose gre atest interest in life was hunting wild game and fishing. He, like the ma ny generations of Kites before him, loved adventure, exploring and a go od fight. Isaiah's personality was delightful and he had quite a way wi th the ladies. He was born on October 22, 1826 in Urbana, Champaign Count y, Ohio. He was married in Urbana on August 31, 1843 to Leanna Overhulz e, a dainty little woman, dearly loved by all who knew her. Her people ca me from Virginia. There marriage was blessed with a son, Asa, in June 184 4. A few of the Kites from Virginia and Ohio had begun already to sett le in Indiana and Iowa and some had established a lumber mill in Peru, In diana. It was here that Isaiah came to work, and while there, his daughte r, Irena was born (1849). Soon after he took his family on a trip to vis it his father, William Kite and mother, Sarah Frysinger in Urbana. Whi le visiting at his father's house, Isaiah left his family and informed th em that he would return at dinner time. He visited the homes of his broth ers, Joseph and Jason Kite and upon leaving them, disappeared, never to return to his family agai n. Of course, his disappearance greatly disturbed his family. They were l ater told several different stories regarding his fate. An old minister na med Lance told of passing him on the road, and because Isaiah seem ed to be ill, suggested that he go to a nearby house where care was provid ed (for) people who were ill with the plague. Lance claimed to have be en told that Isaiah died that night and was buried the next day. Anoth er version was given by a Mrs. Wyant who told Isaiah's mother and othe rs at a quilting bee that he had murdered a man and was serving time in ( a) penitentiary. His mother, a deeply religious woman, became seriously i ll upon hearing such distressing news. A few days later, a man visited t he family. He claimed to have been with Isaiah and to have witnessed his death at the hands of some In dians. By this time, the poor family was completely confused but final ly accepted the probability that Isaiah was dead. His wife, Leanna, and t he children moved into the father's house and the children were raised th ere. Leanna later married Isaiah's uncle, George Kite in whose home she lived until h is death. She then went to live with her granddaughter. The people the re were very kind to her and she remained with them until her death. Isai ah's son, Asa, was a Government employee in Washington, DC where he marri ed Sarah Rhoads. Sarah was a descendant of the Rhoads who were among the first set tlers of Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Isaiah's daughter, Irena, marri ed George Norman. She died while quite young, October 17, 1874, leavi ng a small family. Although Isaiah's eastern family had presumed him dea d, he, was actually very much alive and had moved to Utah. He was married to Elizab eth Hill, the daughter of Isaac Hill who was a Bishop's Councilar (t on ?) Nauvoo, Illinois and was later Bishop of the 2nd Ward in Salt La ke City, Utah. Eliza was born on July 14, 1830 and died August 20, 18 51 immediately after the birth of their first child. Isaiah married Eliza beth's sister, Lucinda Hill, who raised the baby. This marriage produc ed five children, William, Mossiah, Joseph, Franklin, James Edward and An nie. The family lived in Provo, Springfield, Salt Lake and Millville, Uta h. Isaiah's yearning for travel and adventure overcame him and he disappe ared again, leaving behind another family and loved ones. In the history of Butte, Montana, Isaiah Kite's name is mentioned as hav ing been one of the pioneers in the area. He and Mr. Jones, a brother of I saiah's sister-in-law owned and operated a mine. Jones was murdered one n ight while standing guard at the mine. This event apparently discourag ed Isaiah and he moved to Oregon. This began a period of drifting which l asted for about twenty years. At one time he wrote to Lucinda and request ed her and the children to take a stagecoach and join him. She refused h is offer and received no further correspondence from him. Several years late r, a man came to Lucinda's home to tell her that Isaiah had gone to Virgi nia to fight in the Civil War and died there. After this she was marri ed to a man named Gardner and bore three children by him. All three of th ese children were killed in a snow slide. Mr. Gardner died leaving Lucinda alone agai n. About twenty years after he had first left Lucinda and their famil y, he returned, an old man who was crippled with arthrites. He pleaded wi th her to take him in and care for him but she refused and shut him o ut of her life. Isaiah contacted each of his children and each in turn rejected him. The many me mories of years of hardship of themselves and their mother were too bitte r. They thought of the times they were forced to live in dugouts and wh en there was nothing to eat but potato peelings. His son, Franklin, final ly took pity on the old man and took him into his home. In his old days I saiah had developed a suspecious nature and had become superstitious abo ut many things. He became most difficult to understand. Franklin knew that his father wrote letters and received replies but they were careful ly locked in a strongbox and much mystery was attached to them. After Isa iah's death, the attached old letters were found and through corresponden ce it was discovered he had a family in Ohio. He had been writing to a ne phew who had promised to keep him informed regarding the Kites in Ohio and who also pr omised not to disclose any information about him. One day, Isaiah's broth er, Jason was talking to their youngest brother, Joseph E. Kite and let o ut the secret. Joseph could not believe Isaiah was still alive and wro te to him, asking many questions regarding the past which could prove his identity. The ans wers removed any doubt and they continued to correspond until Isaiah's de ath. These letters add much to the story. In that day, embalming was n ot commonly done and there were stories of people who had been buried ali ve. Because of this, Isaiah requested that after his death, his body be he ld as long as possible. This request (was) followed and by the time it w as decided to bury him his body was so decomposed it fell apart while bei ng transferred to the casket. The casket was put on a wagon and the sten ch was so bad that carbolic acid was repeatedly poured around the casket to keep the od or down. He was buried on a hot day and one of those present described h ow the body fluids seeped from the casket. This was a funeral long rememb ered by the Kite family, but at last Isaiah's last wish was carried out a nd there was no doubt that he was completely dead when buried."

Sandi, I found something strange in the 1930 Census. If you look at the recor ds I sent you on William Kite, in the notes I have a reference to the 19 30 census and I found William, Fern, Robert but no Richard and I found th at strange because he should have been listed because he was only 10 yea rs old in 1930. Well three pages later in the census record it makes no te that the census taker omitted Richard Kite from that family and it giv es his age as 9 years old abd should belong with that household. I have ne ver come across a situation like that. Anyway that is why Richard Kite w as missing from the 1930 family census. Eureka!!!! Becky leamy@ptd.net

Hit By Train, Dies of Injuries. Sam Benson, Ingersoll farmer, meets death when train crashes into automobi le at Daley Crossing. "I am surely lucky to get out of it alive. I never s aw the train coming. I was thinking of something else as I approached t he track and never noticed the train. It was the first time I had ever cro ssed a track that I can remember of that I did not look for a train. Sa id Sam Benson to W. I.Arganbright while the latter was taking the injur ed man to the hospital.

Sam Benson, well known and highly respected farmer living one mile west a nd three quarters of a mile north of Ingersoll, died at the Alfalfa Gener al Hospital about 10:20 Friday night as a result of internal injuries rece ived when his car, which he was driving, was hit by a north-bound Rock Isl and passenger train at the Daley crossing. Immediately following the accid ent which was witnessed by W.I. Arganbright. Sussman, and waiting passenge rs, Mr. Benson pulled himself from under the wrecked car and walked a sho rt distance before sitting down and asking that he be taken to the hospita l. He was unaccompanied at the time of the accident. According to Mr. Arganbright, who brought the injured man to the hospita l, Mr. Benson was conscious and rational during the entire trip. Mr Arganb dght declares that Mr Benson stated he did not see the train approachin g, that he was thinking about something else and had not looked up as he a pproached the crossing. The train which was running about nine hours late, due to high waters of t he past week, came into Daley about 7:45. The engine pulling the train, w as turned head end to, causing the tender to strike the Benson car. Mr Arg anbdght states that the engine had whistled several times before reachi ng the crossing and that had Mr. Benson noticed, he would haw had plen ty of time to bring his care to a stop. The crossing at this particular po int gives a clear view of the track for about three quarters of a mile. Mr. Benson was know as a careful driver and during the trip to to wn he is quoted as saying that is was the first time he had not given a ra ilroad crossing a careful inspection before driving on. With his mind preo ccupied with business concerning his farm, for at the time of the acciden t, which resulted in his death, he was coming to Cherokee to get some harv est hands who had agreed to work for him. Mr. Benson undoubtedly draw h is car before the train without knowing its nearness. From all appearances and testimony offered by eyewitnesses, Mr. Benson's d eath can be explained only by the word "fate" His time had come, declar ed his friends as they gathered on the streets of Cherokee to talk of t he horrible accident which resulted in the death of one of Alfalfa county 's most highly respected and best loved sons. Quickly the news of the acci dent spread through Cherokee and vicinity Friday night. Saturday morning l ittle clusters of Mr. Benson's friends could be seen talking of the accide nt and death which occurred later in the evening. Always the remarks pass ed were such as denoted the unusually high regard in which the deceased m an was held by friends elsewhere. Like a pall the news of Sam Benson's dea th fell upon the entire community and wrapped those who knew the m an in a shroud of sorrow and grief, for Sam Benson was a friend to all, o ne whose place cannot be filled. Mr. Benson came to this country with his father at the opening of the stri p. For a number of years past he has been farming the odginal homestead no rthwest of Ingersoll, his father having moved to western Texas several yea rs ago. The deceased is a brother of Mrs. Absalom Hunt, whose untimely dea th sorrowed the entire community on May 11 of this year. Samuel Ellis Benson was born at Attica, Kansas, August 11, 1889, The re he grew to young manhood and in 1893 with his parents settled on a cla im near Ingersoll at the opening of the Cherokee Strip. Eary in life he w as converted to the Christian faith and for a number of years was \ery pro minent in church work connected with the Ingersoll Methodist Church. He was a member of the Odd fellows fraternity and was a Past Master of t he Ingersoll Masonic lodge. Throughout his life he bore himself a gentlem an and a true follower of the Faith. Acting on the knowledge of his de bt to mankind, he was always considerate of those about him and through th at consideration won a great host of friends who join the bereaved relativ es in the loss of a most noble man. Besides his wife, the deceased is survived by three children, Elmer and De lmer, age 9, and LaVerda, age 7, his father L.E. Benson of Hurley, Tx a nd four sisters: Mrs Fred Benson, who lives north of Cherokee, Mrs Alma Sh afer and Mrs Earl Body of Alma and Mrs Foster Blan of Frededck OK. Funeral services were held at the Cherokee Methodist Church Sunday afterno on with Rev. Wright formerly of Ingersoll officiating. A testimony to t he affection and esteem with which the deceased was held by his neighbo rs and friends, was the immense crowd which packed the church during the l ast sad rites over his body. Beautiful floral offerings from his relative s, friends, church and fraternities, encased the casket. Special mus ic by the Methodist chair and a wonderful sermon by Rev. Wright, in whi ch he paid tribute to the life of Sam Benson, were parts of the sence. Off icers of the Ingersoll Masonic lodge concluded the service with a brief fu neral rite.. Interment was not made until IO: 00 Monday morning due to the late ariv al of the father from Hurley, Tx. Burial was made in the M.W.A. cemetery w ith the Cherokee Masonic Lodge in charge of the service. A brief funeral o ration was delivered by Brother Frank Azbill.

I don't know where I heard it, but I remember someone saying that he had j ust left the kids out at home and wouldn't let them go to town with him.

PERRY -- JOHN PERRY (from unknown, undated source)

John Perry was born December 5th, 1802, in Venango County, Pa., and died M ay 23, 1889, near Urbana, Ohio, aged 86 years, 6 months and 18 days. On t he 4th of June, 1834, he was united in marriage to Mary Ann Smith, who f or forty-six years worked faithfully by his side, and then, about nine yea rs ago, passed on before him to the better world. They had nine childre n, five of them boys and four of them girls. Seven are still living. One d ied in infancy, while Anna, well-known to many here present, died in Los A ngeles, California, March 5, 1887. Of those still living, one, S. M. Perr y, is in California; while James and William live in Indianapolis and Jo hn L. resides in Kansas. Mrs. Snyder and Mrs. Carey, as also D. S. Perr y, reside in or near Urbana.

Father Perry left the place of his nativity in 1847, the five oldest child ren having been born in Pennsylvania. He and his family descended the Alle ghany and Ohio Rivers in a family boat constructed for the purpose, to a p oint near Gallipolis, Gallia county, Ohio, where they resided for three ye ars. From there they removed to Piqua, Miami county, Ohio, and from ther e, in 1862, to Champaign county, where he has lived most of the time sinc e, except two years in Indiana and Kansas, while living with his childre n.

Father Perry was originally a member of the Seceder church, now the Unit ed Presbyterian, having been united with that religious body in early boyh ood, and was one of the strictest of the sect, and especially so in rega rd to Sabbath observance. His children still have a vivid recollecti on of the Shorter Catechism, and the invariably enforced rule with the old er children was to read from three to six chapters of the New Testament a nd to recite portions of the Catechism every Sabbath, while laughing alou d, whistling or any other amusement was not permitted.

During his residence in Indiana in 1867, there being at that point no Unit ed Presbyterian church, he united with the Methodist Episcopal church, a nd has ever since been a very enthusiastic member of that denominatio n. He greatly prized, appreciated and enjoyed the institutions of Methodis m, especially the class meeting, which he loved as few love it, and whi ch he never failed to attend as long as his health would permit. Brother P erry had a profound experimental knowledge of religion. He was quite famil iar with the Scriptures and with the best hymns of the church. His class m eeting experience added to his store of religious knowledge. He w as of an emotional temperament and it was a common thing for him to bre ak out in praises to God when some blessed truth of religion had been utte red. His favorite expression was "Glory to God", which he always spoke slo wly and with emphasis, indicative of the reality of the feeling correspond ing to the words. I saw him and conversed with him quite often, and his re ligious fervor was like an unfailing stream, for it had its source in t he fountain of eternal life.

The one thing that impressed me most in Father Perry was the blessedness a nd comfort which genuine religion gives to its possessor in age and feeble ness extreme. Although he had every care and attention which could be best owed upon him by loving hands, and was constantly surrounded by loving hea rts, yet Christ was his portion, and in Him he found his chief joy in h is declining years. He loved society, but it was the society of the godl y; and when with them he seldom talked except upon the subject of religio n, the one subject of all absorbing interest to him. -- C. W. Rishell.

[HI50270] (Research):THOMAS F. WOODS, Deputy County Recorder; St. Paris. Among the old residen ts of this county who deserve a more than passing notice, is Mr. Wood s. He is a son of Joseph H. and Sarah H. (Heaverine) Woods. Joseph H. w as a native of North Carolina ; his father, who was a soldier with Mari on in the Revolution, removed , to Kentucky while Joseph was a boy, and af terward removed to the vicinity of Chillicothe, Ohio, but soon return ed to Kentucky. He was a Dunkard preacher and a man of more than ordina ry education and talent. Joseph H. came to Urbana in 1813, with William Du nlap, with whom he worked and learned the trade of millwright. After remai ning here about three years and establishing himself in business as a manu facturer of spinning-wheels. he returned to Kentucky and married Sarah Hea verine. In 1819, he returned to Champaign Co. and settled on a tract of la nd in Jackson Township, where be followed his business of spinning wheel - maker for many years, and where, in 1871, both he and his wife died with in three days of each other. They had a family of five children, all of wh om are still living. Thomas F. was the second child and first son, a nd is now the only member of the family residing in this county. He was bo rn in Jackson Township in 1822, and grew to manhood there in the days of s ubscription schools and limited facilities. He attended the first school t aught in their neighborhood; James West was teacher, followed, the neat su mmer, by Miss Eliza McCrea. Mr. Woods learned wheel-making of his fathe r, but, as that business gave out about the time he attained his majorit y, he turned his attention to farming. He married, in 1844, Anna, daught er of John Merritt, Jr., who, with his father, John Merritt, Sr., were ve ry early residents of Jackson Township. Soon after his marriage, he bui lt a cabin on 80 acres of forest land which his father had given him, a nd which he subsequently cleared and improved, and to which he added 20 ac res. He taught seven terms of district school in his younger days, and w as Township Clerk twenty-eight years. In 1861, the Auditor being sic k, he was appointed Deputy Auditor, and discharged the duties of the offi ce for two years with great satisfaction. In 1865, he was elected Commissi oner, and was re-elected in 1868. In 1873, he was again called to the Comm issioner's office, and was re-elected in 1876. In 1877, he purchased a res idence in St. Paris, to which he removed, leaving his farm to the ca re of his son, Van Orlando. Mr. Woods is now Deputy Recorder. He has be en a member of the M. E. Church since 1843, and is a useful, respected Chr istian citizen. He has had six children, four of whom died in youth, and t wo survive-Samuel M. and Van Orlando.

[HI50328] (Research):THOMAS WREN, farmer; P. O. Mechanicsburg; one of the early settlers of Gos hen Township ; was born in Clark Co., Ohio, Dec. 1809, and is the son of D avid Wren, of Berkeley Co., Va. David was married to Elizabeth Bisho p, of Loudoun Co., Va., and moved to Fleming Co. Ky., where they remain ed five years, and then pioneered their way into Ohio, in 1801 or 1802, lo cating in Pleasant Township, Clark Co., thus making one of the first famil ies of Clark Co. In June, 1832, he moved with his family to Goshen Townshi p, Champaign Co., locating about one mile south of Mechanicsburg. He re he lived till in August, 1847, when his death occurred ; his wife di ed in 1852. They had six sons and four daughters; all grew up and were mar ried; two sons only, survive. Our subject was the seventh child; he was re ared on a farm, and early became inured to farm labor; his life has been d evoted to farming and stock-raising, and at this he has been signally succ essful. At his advent into Goshen Township, he was 22 years old; and has s ince resided here, a period of nearly half a century. He lived with his pa rents till he moved to his present place, forty years ago. Then be beg an in the woods and log cabin ; now he has a farm of nearly 400 acres und er good improvement, and a fine, large, brick residence, the result of h is industry and economy. He married, in 1837, Mary Jones, who was bo rn in Logan Co., Ohio, and raised in this, Champaign Co.; she died in Jun e, 1871. One son and five daughters were born to this union. Mr. Wren, for merly an " Old-Line Whig," now embraces the principles of the Republican p arty.

Champaign Co Early Settlers Vol 1 pg 118 Of Berkely Co, VA married Elizabe th Bishop of Louden Co, VA and moved to Flemingsburg, KY about 1795. Sev en years later they came to Champaign County and settled east of northeast of Catawba a short distance. Their land was located between the Mechanicsburg Road and Turkey Ridge Road. David Wren died 1847 and wife in 185 2. They had six sons and four daughters, all whom grew up and married. Some of these went to western states. Later this family became owners of some 300 acres south of Mechanicburg in Goshen Twp. Thomas Wren fell heir to this land and eventually increased the holding to 400 acres. Thomas Wren married Mary Jones and had one son, Joseph and 5 daughters. The daughters were the ones who left many descendants about Mechanicsburg. A daughter of the original family from Virginia married James Roberts and these two became ancestors of the Champaign County Robert's who live near Catawba Station

Mrs Eliza J Beaty departed this life Saturday evening, March 7, 1885, in h er sixty-fifth year. She has been a great sufferer, for many years, and w as perfectly reisgned to her lot, never was heard to murmer of word again st Him who doeth all things well. We deeply mourn her loss, but kn ow it is her eternal gain. She was followed to her last resting pla ce by a large concourse of relatives and friends. Funeral services conduct ed by Rev Drake; opening prayer by Rev Norris. Rev Drake selected a suitab le portion of scripture. "I would not live always", made some touching rem arks after which Rev Muncy made an able prayer. Interment at Kingston Ceme tery. Death cold unfeeling death, Threw her unerring dart, And stopped he beating pulse and breath, And saddened every heart. Prostrate and sold she lay, Yet touching peaceful sweet; When in her casket borne away She left us all to weekp. We mourn not without hope, Her trust was in the Lord; And when life's brittle thread was broke, She rose to her reward. Peace to my sainted Mother, Now far beyond all fear; To find in that eternal life, The rest denied her here.

Biographical Record of Clark Co., Ohio, pp. 216-218, profile titled "The C entenarian Pioneer of Donnels Creek, George Grisso, Sr." This article stat es that George Grisso was born in "Coffin Tree township, Lancaster Count y, Pennsylvania." There was no "Coffin Tree" twp in Pennsylvania. The re is a Coventry twp in Chester Co., PA, which fits with other records th at Mathias and Elizabeth Grisso lived along the Delaware River near the pr esent Pottstown, PA in the years following their marriage.

[HI50526] (Research):Beers History of Clark Co, OH pg 984 JAMES CLARK, capitalist, New Moorefield. A descendant of two old pioneer f amilies of Clark Co.; was born in this county Nov. 21, 1838, a son of Jo hn D. and Susannah (Foley) Clark, he a native of Virginia; and she of Ohi o, and a grandson of James Clark, also born in Virginia, but who beca me an early settler of Clark Co., and afterward of Champaign Co., whe re he resided until death. The maternal grandfather, James Foley, also a n ative of Virginia, became one of the early pioneers of Clark Co., locating -here about 1803 or 1805, while the Indians were still the principal occup ants of the then almost unbroken forest, when there was but one store in S pringfield, and four or five houses constituted the town. In this county l ie spent the remainder of his life. Although possessed of only a limited e ducation, from the meager advantages of schools in those days, yet he poss essed great natural talent, and was a very active and powerful man, both p hysically and intellectually. He became thoroughly known and held the resp ect acid confidence of the people; was chosen a representative to the Sta te Legislature two terms, and served his constituents faithfully. We may s afely believe that had he in his early life possessed the advantages of o ur present generation, he would have arisen to distinction. John D. Cla rk came to this county with his parents when but a child ; was raised to f arm labor, grew to manhood, was married and located upon the farm whe re he still lives and has resided during his entire business life. He h as been a man of great activity, and has not confined himself to the me re routine of farm labor, but his mind carried him into a more active fiel d, that of an extensive stock dealer. For thirty years he did a large trad e, buying through this country and the west as far as Illinois, driving la rge droves of cattle to Philadelphia and the Eastern markets, often throwi ng into market from two to three thousand head of cattle in a single yea r; has also dealt extensively in wool and pork, in all of which he was gen erally successful, as known by the fact that, in 1870, when he retired fr om business, he was worth over $200,000, which was mostly made by his o wn labor, skill and good management, which is perhaps a record of succe ss surpassed by but very few in that day, or even since. In 1872, he h ad a stroke of paralysis, from which he has never fully recovered, althoug h, physically, he still enjoys good health for one of his advanced age. H is wife died May 8, 1876. Of an issue of four children, there were three d aughters and one son-Mary C. (now Mrs. Pratt), Martha J. (now Mrs. R. A. C alvert, of Portsmouth, Ohio, whose husband now is Judge of the Court of th at county), James, and Anna E. (now Mrs. W. M. Yeazell, of Springfield). O ur subject, being an only son, has always remained with his father and ass isted him in his business, and grew up with the advantages and observatio ns of his father's plans and successes in business, and as his father adva nced in years James gradually took the care and charge of his business aff airs, till 1870, when his father retired from active life, since whi ch he has taken the entire control and management. Mr. Clark is engag ed in raising and dealing in a moderate yet profitable degree in trotti ng horses ; has raised some of the finest. horses in Clark Co.; has rais ed and trained horses which he has sold at prices as high as $20,000, a nd is justly recognized as one of the leading men in this line of busine ss in this portion of Ohio. The Clark farm consists of 657 acres of most e xcellent land in a high state of cultivation, with fine and substantial bu ildings, with every arrangement for convenience and comfort, and is o ne of the best grain and stock farms in Clark Co. Mr. Clark is well kno wn not only in his county, but his reputation extends far and wide through out the country among all the prominent men who are interested devote es in fine horses; has been an active member of the Clark County Boa rd of Agriculture for six years; has held various township offices, a nd is now Township Treasurer, which office he has held for eight years .. He was married, Jan. 20, 1870, to Miss Emma, S., only child of Charl es and Mary (Taylor) Morgan, he a native of England and she of Ohio, b ut of English descent. Two children have been the fruits of this union, o ne of whom is living-Emerson Eugene Clark. Mr. Clark is one of the most pl easant and affable gentlemen it has been our good fortune to have met wi th in the county.. He is an educated, well-read man, who keeps apace wi th the progress and development of the age; a man imbued with a proper spi rit of liberality, taking an active interest in everything tending to t he general welfare of his native county, of which he is a worthy and high ly respected citizen.

[HI50530] (Research):. Hugh V SMITH farmer was born on Jan 30 1796 in Clark Co., Virginia. He w as buried in May 1855 in Deal Cemetery, Salt Rock Twp., Marion Co., Ohi o. He died on May 18 1855 in Salt Rock Twp., Marion Co., Ohio. The fami ly tradition says that he was born in Virginia but in the 1860 US Cens us he gave his birth place as Pennsylvania. Harley Smith believes that Hu gh V. Smith's fathers name was John, this has not been verified. That wi ll be a mystery for the future to solve. Hugh V. had at least 3 brother s, David, Robert and William. David came to Marion Co. in 1830, but remov ed further west to Lima Township, LaGrange County, Indiana. Hugh mentio ns in his diary visiting with David in Indiana.

LAGRANGE COUNTY, INDIANA HISTORY. Among the pioneers of LaGrange County no ne are more entitled to note than David Smith and his family, who settl ed on 360 acres in Lima Township in 1833, They have been prominent sin ce in the history of the county. One of the sons John Smith, is subje ct of this section. He is widely known as a successful farmer, and has giv en particular attention to the improvement of live stock. It is owing to h is efforts and of others like him that such great strides have been ma de in the live stock interests of the county. Mr. Smith was born in Cla rk County, Ohio Oct 24, 1823. He was married to Sarah R. Parker in 1855, w ho died in 1857, leaving one child, Sarah A. In 1862 he was married to Ser ence Craig, and they have two children Mary J. and Charles C.

Hugh V. Smith visited his brother at least once in the 1840's, as record ed in his diary. David Smith married Mary Gossard August 22, 1819 in Cla rk County, Ohio.

William Smith married Hugh V's wife's sister Catharina Yeazel, December 2 7, 1828 in Clark County, Ohio. He also came to Marion County but didn't re main.

Robert Smith also came to Marion County and did own land in the county, b ut finally left.

Hugh V. lived for sometime in Clark County, but it is not known if his par ents ever lived in Clark County. It is possible in that so many of his bro thers lived in the county. Little is known of Hugh V. during this peri od of his life. The date of his arrival in Marion County range from 18 20 to 1823. It is known for sure that he was in Salt Rock township by 182 3. He purchased his first property from his brother-in-law William Yeaz el September 7, 1823, Section 29 Township 4 Range 14, 80 acres. His father -in-law had made several purchases of real estate in western Marion Coun ty prior to this time. It is possible that Hugh V. was on the property dev eloping it for his father-in-law. Hugh V. continued to add to this orgin al purchase through out his life time. There are several recorded patien ts from U.S. Government in his name. Most of the holdings were in Grand to wnship and Salt Rock township, but at the time of his death he did own app roximatily 600 acres in Claridon township. This property was later own ed by Alexander Sims and Fanny Smith Sims. The property was sold at the ti me Alex and Fannie removed to Iowa. Sarah "Sally" Yeazel(PEDIGREE) and (PH OTO)was born February 24, 1798 in Hampshire County, Virginia now West Virg inia the daughter of Abrahma Yeazel and Mary Curl, natives of Virginia. Ab raham was born Apr 29, 1774 in Virginia and died Jan 2, 1832 in Moorefie ld Townhship, Clark County, Ohio. Mary Curl was born October 30, 1776 in V irginia and died Sep. 22, 1828 in Moorefield Township. She was the daught er of William Curl and Sarah "Sally" Brown. She was the daughter of Thom as Brown and Mary Ball. The Yeazel Family has a family tree showing Mary B all's parents as William Ball born 1676 in Millenbeck, Lancaster County, V irginia. This connection would make Mary Ball Brown a first cousin of Geor ge Washington. The Will of Abraham Yeazel is interesting in that it doesn 't leave any inheritance to Sarah Yeazel Smith, but does appoint Hugh V. S mith the executor. Abraham Yeazel and Mary Curl were natives of Virginia c oming to Clinton County, Ohio in 1801. They moved further north into Cla rk County in January 1810, locating in the southeastern part of Moorefie ld Township. Their son David was born June 1804 in Yellow Springs, Green C ounty, Ohio. The next four children where born at Todd's Fork in Clinton C ounty. Abraham must have either felt that Hugh V. Smith was well enough o ff or that he had already provided for Sarah 'Sally" Smith's Family. He tr usted Hugh V. making him the executor of the estate. Hugh V. Smith was a p rominent resident of Salt Rock township, being an early pioneer of the are a. His name appears many times in land sales. He took an active part in po litical life of the community. The second election was held in Marion Coun ty October 11, 1825, the resolutes for the commissioners race: Talman raus se 294; Zach Welsh 32; Hugh V.

[NI50844] The late George A. Sceva, a soldier of the Union army during the Civil War and for years a substantial farmer of Union township, who died at his home in that township on January 19, 1914, and whose widow is stillliving there, was born on that farm and lived there all his life. He was born on August 28, 1839, son of Aaron and :Mary Sceva, both of whom were born in New Hampshire. Aaron Sceva came to Ohio in the days of his young manhood and worked as a blacksmith in this county. He married in New Hampshire and later became engaged in farming in Union township, remaining there until 1848, when he went to Utah on a prospecting trip and there died, leaving his widow with four children, Mary Jane, George A., Angeline and Charles. His wife died in Union township.
George A. Sceva was nine years of age when his father left for the west and from the days of his boyhood, as the elder son, he was a valued aid in the labors of improving and developing the home farm. He received his schooling in what then was known as the Sceva school house, in the neighborhood of his home, and continued at home helping in the work of
the farm until his mother's death, when he and his brother Charles assumed the management of the place and continued farming together until the latter's death, after which George A. Sceva bought from his sisters their interest in the place and continued farming the same as sole proprietor. He did well in his operations and as he prospered added to his holdings until he became the owner of a fine farm of one hundred and seventy-one acres and was accounted one of the substantial farmers of that section, remaining there until his death, on January 19, 1914. During the Civil War Mr. Seeva served as a member of Company E, One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and was an active member of the local post of the Grand Army of the Republic at Urbana, in the affairs of which patriotic
organization he took a warm interest. He was a Republican and for some time served the public very acceptably as trustee of Union township, and was for nineteen years a member of the local school board, during that time doing much to advance the cause of education in his district. For more than thirty years he was a member of the Methodist church at Mutual and
for some years served as a member of the board of trustees of the same. On March 30, 1871«i», «/i»George A. Sceva was united in marriage to Isadore Middleton, who was born in this county, in Wayne township, daughter of Thomas and Susanna (Hess) Middleton and a member of one of the old families of Champaign county, further and fitting mention of which family is made elsewhere in this volume. Her father was also a native of Wayne township and her mother was a native of Virginia. They were married in Wayne township, but later moved to Union township, where they spent the remainder of their lives. They were the parents of six children, of whom Mr. Seeva was the third in order of birth, the others being Amanda
(deceased), William, Jacob (deceased), George and Rachel. To George A. Sceva and wife six children were born, of whom but three are now living, Henry, of Mutual, who married Nora Leavitt and has three children, Paul, Mabel and Martha·; William, who married Emma «i»McCoy «/i»and has two· children, Francis and Elizabeth, at home, and Essie, who is at home
with her widowed mother and is employed in a millinery store in Urbana. The Scevas have a pleasant home in Union township and have ever taken an interested part in the general social affairs of the community in which they live. :.Mrs. Sceva is a member of the Methodist church at Mutual and her daughter, of the Baptist church at Urbana. and both take a proper interest in the various beneficences of these societies.

Champaign Co, Ohio Beers History 1881 NATHANIEL SCEVA (deceased) was one of the prominent citizens and early set tlers of Goshen Township. He was born in New Hampshire in 1808, of Engli sh extraction. His parents were Henry and Joanna (Celey) Sceva, both nativ es of New Hampshire. Nathaniel was brought up on the farm till about 13 ye ars old, when he was apprenticed to the carpenter trade, serving the regul ar term of seven years, thus becoming thoroughly acquainted with his profe ssion. His educational opportunities were well improved, and he qualifi ed himself for the profession of teaching, which he engaged in to some ext ent in his native State. In May, 1835, he cast his lot in the State of Ohi o, locating in the vicinity of Mechanicsburg. For some years, he follow ed his trade, and many buildings still stand as monuments of his workmansh ip. After a time, he purchased land and turned his attention to agricultur al pursuits. Some years previous to his death, which occurred Dec. 14, 187 0, he was engaged in mercantile pursuits in Mechanicsburg, in which pla ce the latter years of his life were passed. He was one of Goshen Township 's much-respected citizens, and in his death the community recognized t he loss of one of its useful members. We quote from a Columbus paper the f ollowing: "He had been a citizen of the county for more than thirty-five y ears, and had served as Commissioner and Postmaster, besides numerous loc al offices of trust, with strict integrity and fidelity. His family have l ost a kind husband and father, and the community a valuable citizen. He w as eminently the noblest work of God, 'an honest man.'" He was one of t he self-made men of the community, inheriting nothing but an honest nam e, habits of industry, and a determined will ; he accumulated before his d eath a neat competency. He was a life-long Democrat, and was exacted on th at ticket to the office of County Commissioner in a county which is overwh elmingly Republican. He was married. April 3, 1835, to Rosaline, daught er of James and Dolly Woodward. James Woodward was born in North Sutto n, N. H., March 3, 1789, and died April 28, 1872 ; his wife still survive s, in her 87th year, with her physical and mental powers remarkably well p reserved. Six sons and one daughter were born to Mr. and Mrs. Sceva, all g rowing to maturity; two sons have since died.
