The assass ination of President Lincoln occurred on April 15, 1865, and it was on abo ut April 30th that the Lincoln funeral train came through Champaign Coun ty en route to Springfield, Illinois. St. Paris had three floral tribut es to offer. It was a special honor for Christian McMorran that he was cho sen to place the community flowers on the funeral train.

[NI14886] Champaign County Ohio Biographies
BENJAMIN NORMAN, retired farmer; P. 0. Millerstown. Another of the pioneers of Champaign Co. is Benjamin Norman, a grandson of John Norman, who was of German parentage; he lived through many of the wild days of Virginia, where he died. Our subject is a son of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Norman; Mr. Norman was born in Virginia, and she in Maryland; they married in Virginia, early in the. nineteenth century, and, in 1805, they emigrated to Ohio, locating on the present site of Millerstown. They were among the first white settlers in what is now Concord Township. He entered a half-section of land, which was all in the unbroken forest. He lived through nearly half a century in Champaign Co., when death seized him and severed him from his wife, who, twelve years later, also passed away. They were the parents of nine children, of whom four are now living, our subject being the eldest. He was born in what is now Concord Township July 16, 1806. He has since resided in the county, and is one among if not its oldest native. He lived through the pioneer days of the country, and watched its rise and progress, step by step, for three-fourths of a century. Mr. Norman is worthy of having a complete outline of his life, which we here record, on the pages of the Champaign Co: history, His earliest recollections are of the deep, unbroken forest that surrounded his father's lone log cabin, now supplanted by waving fields of grain. Their first visitors were the troublesome Indians, who have long been exterminated, and the Wild animals that roamed the woods, now driven by advancing civilization to seek a home in the Far West. Fine buildings have taken the place of the rude log huts, and many things could here be given that properly belong in the body of this history. At the age of 25, he married Barbara Ward, born in Virginia in 1811; after the marriage, he engaged in farming, and, one year later, his father gave him a quarter-section of land, a part of which he yet owns. His first land purchase was made in 1840, since which many changes have been made, and he has nobly assisted his children, six of whom have married, and one remains at home and dutifully assists her parents, Mr. Norman is located on Sec. 7, Johnson Township, where he has devoted considerable attention to the raising of fine stock, which he made a success. Mr. and Mrs. Norman have for many years been consistent members of the Baptist Church, and raised their family in the faith of the same

This is the correct family since dau Amanda married Squire Caldwell a nd is also enumerated in this census with her husband. Also dau Isable di ed 4/12/1900, 4 days prior to this census who married John Printz. Grandau ghter was Maud, born 1893, but same age. As per Richard Pence input in to this situation, he explains better than I what probably happened:

As for the 1910 census involving "Matilda," I have this vision of a confus ed old lady dealing with an enumerator who was haphazardly taking notes f or transcription after he got home later that day. After a coulple of dos es of grog and a hearty meal hf filled out the sheet.Obviously something h appened, for it can be easily shown that none of her four children were n ot living with her even though the census says they are. I checked Marion 's listing and find he was livin with his wife Laura and find that the enu meration was taken the same day as that for Mahala/Matilda.When you che ck and see that Mahala/Matilda had 4 children living at the time you can c reate a conversation through which the actual fact that 4 of her childr en were living into a scenario under which that are not only living but li ving with her.I have no explanation for New York. I had though Mahala's mo ther was born there, but the other census records I looked at didn't suppo rt that. I guess you have to chalk it up to the second cup of grog! My conclusion is that the "mystery" is actually errors that can be attribu ted to old age on one hand and sloppy work on the other.

ELI PENCE, farmer; P. O. St. Paris; is a son of Samuel Pence, born in Cham paign Co., where he was raised through the early part of the nineteenth ce ntury, many deprivations being connected with his life. He married about 1 825, to Mary A. Howard, a native of this State. After a companionship of s ome years, he died and left nine children. Mary A. still survives; has mar ried and buried her second husband [Adam Apple], by whom she had four chil dren. Eight of her thirteen children now survive. Eli was born in Johns on Township Jan. 20, 1842, and was left fatherless when but a child; he th en fell into the hands of some of his relatives, by whom he was properly c ared for until Aug. 4, 1862. At this time the great crisis of our count ry was raging, and he entered Co. H, 45th O.V.I., serving to the clo se of the war, when he was honorably discharged at Columbus, Ohio. Duri ng his military life, he participated in the battles of Knoxville, Tenn .; London, Tenn.; the battle of Resaca, Ga., where he was slightly wound ed in the right shoulder, and many other battles of minor importance. On M arch 4, 1866, after his return from the service, he married Rachel A. Srou fe. One year later he located on what is now his farm. This he has since p urchased by degrees, and now owns a well-improved grain farm. The childr en of Mr. and Mrs. Pence are Orlando, William F., Samuel C., Mary E. and E mma A. Mrs. Pence was born on their present farm, and is bus a daught er of George O. Sroufe, who was a prominent pioneer of this township [John son].

From Richard Pence Web Site Eli Pence was the last surviving Civil War veteran in Champaign County, Oh io, where he was born on January 20, 1842 and died on January 23, 1941, s hortly after turning 99. He was also the only soldier from the 45th O VI to attend the regiment's 60th and last reunion, in August 1933, and w as almost certainly its last survivor.

Born the son of Samuel Pence, whose father Daniel had come to Champaign Co unty from Virginia, Eli was sixth of nine children. His father died at t he age of 35 in 1845, when Eli was only three years old. His mother remar ried a year later to Adam Apple, also of Champaign County, by whom she h ad four more children. Eli, however, was raised by relatives, undergoi ng what his biography in the History of Champaign County (W. H. Beers & County, Chicago, 1881, pg. 761) describes as "many deprivations." On August 4, 1862, at the age of twenty, he enlisted as a private in the 45 th OVI and was mustered into Company H, which was largely raised from Cha mpaign County.

Eli was promoted to corporal on May 1, 1864 and was mustered out on June 1 2, 1865 at Camp Harker, Tennessee. His company suffered heavy losses in ki lled, wounded and captured, particularly in the siege of Knoxville and t he battles at Philadelphia and Holston River, but Eli escaped with on ly a slight wound to his right shoulder at the Battle of Resaca.

After the war, Eli returned to Ohio and, on March 4,1866, married Rach el A. Shroufe, the daughter of a prominent Champaign County family. A ye ar later he settled on the farm in St. Paris that was his wife's birthpla ce and was to be their home for many years. The couple had six childre n: Orlando, William, Samuel, Mary Ellen, Emma and Thirza Ann. Rachel di ed at the age of 72 in 1918 and on September 2, 1921, Eli remarried, to El len Walker, a widow from Plain City, Ohio, aged 62. This match betwe en an elderly widower and widow was unusual enough to warrant an artic le in the local newspaper, The Champaign Democrat, on September, 27 1921:

St Paris Man Weds at 78 A widow of 62
An event of more than usual interest occurred last week at Pla in City when Eli Pence, aged 78, retired farmer, of St. Paris, was unit ed in marriage to Mrs. Ellen Walker, aged 62, of Plain City.The marriage c eremony was performed by Rev. Sprouce, Baptist minister of Plain City a nd the couple went to housekeeping in the bride's home in th at place. Both have been married before and have families. Mr. Pence is o ne of the best known residents of St. Paris and Mrs. Pence is well kno wn in Madison and Union counties.

Eli took an active role in G.A.R. and regimental reunion affairs, becomi ng the reunion organization's last president. On August 16, 1933, he was t he sole remaining 45th OVI veteran at the regiment's 60th reunion, he ld in Urbana, Ohio. (For a fuller account of this reunion see the Reuni on page ) Eli also attend ed the Blue-Grey Reunion in 1938, celebrating the 75th anniversary of t he Battle of Gettysburg. He lived long enough to see start of World War I I, an event he had predicted in his remarks at the 60th reunion. Eli Pen ce died on January 23, 1941 and was buried in Rosedale Cemetery, Adams To wnship, Champaign County.

Eli's older brother, Isaiah, also served in the Union army, enlisting in t he 13th Ohio Volunteer Infantry in April 1861 and mustering out in Augu st of the same year. Four of Eli's cousins, Elijah, John, John Dugan and W illiam Pence, served in the 45th OVI. Elijah enlisted as a private on Ju ly 28, 1862, at the age of 25, and mustered into Company E. He was captur ed at Philadelphia, Tennessee on October 20, 1863 and died a prisoner at R ichmond, Virginia on March 4, 1864. John enlisted as private on August 1 1, 1862, at the age of 26, and mustered into Company C. He was mustered o ut on June 12, 1865 at Camp Harker, Tennessee. John Dugan enlisted as a co rporal on August 8, 1862 and mustered into Company H. He died of typhoid f ever at Covington, Kentucky on October 8, 1862. William enlisted as a priv ate on July 5, 1862, at the age of 24, and mustered into Company E. He mus tered out on June 12, 1865.

Note 5/1/2005 from Catherine Burke cburke1@kc.rr.com Joseph Hill and Margaret Oliver were the parents of my ancestor Julia A nn Hill. According to "The History of Champaign and Logan Counties: from their fir st settlement, by Joshua Antrim, Joseph Hill was "the first permanent sett ler of the township" (year 1801). (See the chapter on Concord Township, pr eviously known as Mad River Twp.).

1850 census for Champaign Co., Concord Twp., page 310 line 18 lists Jose ph Hill age 71 with Mary age 59. There in the house hold also resides Marg aret Chandler age 92, Jane Cox, 16 and Mary Purcell, 17. However, livi ng 2 families down with the Hugh Gibbs? family is Margaret Oliver-Hill's m other, Mildred age 97 b. VA. I don't see Mildred living with Joseph and Ma ry Purcell-Hill in 1860 so if she indeed lived with them it would've be en between census years.

History of Champaign County, (speaking of Concord Twp., "...Joseph Hill a nd Thomas Stretch were Constables. Joseph Hill was the first permanent set tler, having settled on the farm now owned by his son-in-law, James D. Pow ell, in February, 1803, He was the father of Joseph Hill, Superintende nt of the Pan Handle Railway, with headquarters at Logansport, Ind. At t he time of his removal to the pioneer farm, Isaac Anderson, a "squatter" w as found on the farm, but the lines not falling in "pleasant places" to hi m, he gave up his improvement. Anderson was noted for his laziness, and, f rom the fact that he was the first white man that lived upon the ban ks of Anderson Creek, the stream took its name after him."

[NI15029] Emigrated to this country when 3 months old landing in Quebec.

ARCHIBALD TAYLOR, farmer; P. O. Crayon; was born in Argyleshire, in the highlands of Scotland, March 9, 1822. His parents, Donald and Mary Taylor, w ith their family of three children, emigrated to this country in the summer of 1822. They came by ship to Quebec, and from there to Lower Sandusky by schooner and steamboat. From Sandusky they came through in wago ns to Champaign Co., where they remained eight years, and then moved to Cl ark Co. They remained in Clark Co. three years, and then returned to Champaign Co. Donald and Mary Taylor were the parents of nine children, sev en of whom are still living, viz.: John, of Urbana; Mary, now the widow Mc Eachran, in Indiana; Archibald; Douglass, living in Iowa ; Margaret. now M rs. C. Journell, of this township; Jane, now Mrs. A. Himes, of Indiana; a nd Flora A., now Mrs. Hiram Heath, of Iowa. Donald Taylor departed this life Feb. 27. 1841, at the age of 48. His widow is still living and resides in Iowa. She was born May 15, 1796. Our subject was brought up on a farm, and still follows agricultural pursuits. He also raises and buys sto ck sufficient to consume the produce of his farm. For the last fifteen yea rs he has resided on Sec. 29, of Concord Township, where he owns 147 acres of land. He has served his township as Trustee several terms. In 185 9, Sept. 28, he married Sarah E. Hough. She is a native of this county, bo rn May 15, 1832. The fruits of this union are six children-Mary S. and Daniel H. are the only survivors.

Champaign Co, Democrat June 28, 1877 On Wednesday evening, June 20th, Mr. Archiblad Taylor and wife and others came very near being drowned in Muddy Creek, near the residence ofMr. Peter Baker, west ofHeathtown. Mr. Taylor and wife were riding in a single buggy, and when near the middle of the stream the horse became frightened and to some extent unmanageable. Mr .T. attempted to leave his seat, for the purpose of getting better control of the horse, and in the attempt was thrown in the water. His feet became entangled in the lines as he f ell, and the horse in his struggling in the water fell upon Mr .Taylor . F or a half minute he was held in that position, and until the horse (both being entirely submerged), in order to save its own life, began to struggle to free itself, and in the effort Mr. Taylor became extricated from his perilous position. Retaining a wonderful presence of mind, he managed to get a firm hold on the horse and held him until relief came, knowing that a single move of the horse would have capsized the buggy . After the horse was detached poles were run into the buggy , and while one end rested on the buggy and the other secured by the men on the bank, Mrs. Taylor crawled out to a place of safety.

ADAM PRINCE VANCE,* (written by himself) farmer and painter; P. O. Urbana. We propose to our self to challenge the attention of those whom it may concern to the records of one of the most ancient and distinguished families in European genealogy, namely, that of Vance, as it is spelled in Ireland, Vans in Scotland, and, anciently, Vaux in Scotland and England, and De Vaux in France. (The Latin name is De Vallibus.) On the continent of Europe, the De Vaux family have been Dukes of Andrea; Princes of Joinville, Taranta and Altamara ; Sovereign Counts of Orange and Provence, and Kings of Vienne and Arles, as well as Lords De Vaux in Normandy. In 1066, three brothers, Hubert, Rundolph and Robert, the sons of Harold De Vaux, Lord of Vaux in Normandy, accompanied William the Conqueror to England, and there their descendants became Lords De Vaux of Pentney and Brevor, in Norfolk, of Gilliesland, in Cumberland, and of Harrowden, in Northamptonshire. A branch of the English family of Vaux, or Vallibus, settled in the south of Scotland, and became progenitors of several respectable families of that name. It is found in Scotch history that the ancient surname of Vans, in later charters called De Vallibus, is the same with the name of Vaux in England, and is one of the first surnames that appeared there after the conquest. . Hubert De Vaux, the eldest of the three brothers who accompanied the Conqueror into England in 1066, married Gracia, of what family is unknown, and left two sons, Robert and Rundolph. From Rundolph there is a certainty of the first Scotch settler being descended. We might trace the name back to the days of Alaric, one of the monarchs of the Western Goths, in the year 500 of the Christian era. This would be carrying the history of the family back pretty far. For myself, I shall be satisfied with the date of the conquest of the English by the Normans, 1066, This seems to be very authentic. ev. John Vance, or Vans, A. M., was a Puritan clergyman and a refugee from persecution in Scotland. He emigrated to Ireland in 1617. He was appointed Rector of Kilmacrenan, Donegal, and Diocese of Raphor. Here he labored for forty-five years. He was the father of the numerous Vances now to be found in Ireland and America. Of the Vance family in Ireland was David, my father's great-grandfather; who came to this country and married Sarah Colville. He resided in Loudoun Co., Va. He had two sons, David, my father's grandfather, and Joseph Colville, and three daughters, Ann, Mattis and Jane. David married Sarah Quimby. The fruits of this marriage were six sons-David, Daniel, Ephraim, John, Elisha and Elijah, and three daughters-Elizabeth, Sarah and Jane. My grandfather, whose name was John, married Sarah Perkins ; had three sons and one daughter. From the early history of Washington Co., Penn., among the early settlers there, were David and Joseph Colville Vance. From there they went to Barron Co., Ky., where my father, David Colville Vance, was born Sept. 16, 1805. Father, when quite a small boy, grandfather and great-grandfather, left Kentucky and came to Ohio and settled in the eastern part of Clark Co. The first of the Vance family in Champaign Co. was Joseph C. Vance, in 1805, brother of my great-grandfather and father of ex-Gov. Vance, who was Governor of Ohio from 1836-38, and Congressman from 1821-35 and 1843-47. From Clark Co., grandfather came to Champaign Co. and settled in Concord Township, known as the Marcus Clark farm. When father was about 14 years old, he was apprenticed to John Wiant, of Mad River Township, for seven years, to learn the tanning trade. Soon after reaching his majority, he married Miss Nancy Prince, Oct. 12, 1826. Mother was born in Boyle Co., Ky., Nov. 29, 1808. From this marriage they had four sons-Adam P., John, David C. and William, and three daughters-Sarah, Elizabeth and Mary. Sarah and William died when quite young. The rest are living, and have families of their own. The writer of this sketch was born Aug. 5, 1827. Occupation, school-teacher some twenty years; a ruralist at present. Married, Oct. 3, 1854, Miss Dorcas Malin ; she died Sept. 30, 1855; married again, Oct. 3, 1876, Miss Eliza Jane Russell; have a son living from first marriage; a daughter and son by the last marriage.

[HI15045] (Research):The first Clerk and Recorder od Champaign County was Joseph C Vance, a m an who was probably the most respected and most active in civic affaai rs of the early county of any of its residents. He was born in PA, moved t here to Kentucky, thence to Clifton in Greene County, Ohio where he survey ed the town of Xenia in 1803. Coming to urbana in 1805 he surveyed and pla tted the county seat of Champaign County. He became a permanent reside nt of Urbana until his death in 1809. During the formative days of the cou nty his name appears in almost every record that has anything to do with t he county government. There is no doubt but what he was the chief consulta nt of the early settlers in many of their business affairs. He was the ori ginal owner of he farm wher Robert Everhart now lives. He had a large fami ly and left many descendants. Early Settlers of champaign County and Surrounding areas, pg 4

Green Co, Oh History In the early spring of 1797, Daniel Wilson, as he was returning to sett le permanently near Clio, overtook Joseph C., and John Vance, in the vall ey south of where Lebanon nov stands, who were then on their way to this l ocality, and hence they were the first settlers. Joseph entered the land e xtending along east side of what is now Main Street, Bellbrook, being pa rt of sections 31, 32, (3. 5). He built a long cabin on the site now occup ied by the carriage manufactory of Willoughby and Davis, on the southea st corner of Main and Walnut Streets, Bellbrook. This was the first buildi ng in this locality, and was erected sometime in the year 1797. It also w as the building in which the first store was kept by James Gowdy, who ca me from Xenia, but owing to scarcity of money in the neighborhood, soon re turned. The first hotel was also kept in this same house by James Clance y. Joseph C. Vance removed from this locality after surveying, and layi ng out the city of Xenia. In the fall of 1803, he went to Champaign Count y, where he died in 1843. His son Joseph Vance, was elected governor of Oh io, in 1836; was defeated in 1838 by Wilson Shannon. Among the old settle rs of this county, were Nathan Lamme, James Snowden, Ephriam Bowen, John H ale, Joseph Hale, James and Robert Snodgrass, James Barrett, John McLai n, Stephen Bell, James Clancey, Boston Hoblet, and Henry Opdyke.

Champaign Co Beers History
On the 10th of May, 1803, the court for organizing Greene County was held in this log cabin, then the residence of Peter Borders. The first business of the court was to lay off the county into townships, and, after being in session one day, it adjourned for the trial of causes at the same place, August 2, 1803. One of the grand jurors was Joseph C. Vance, who afterward took an active interest in the settlement of Champaign County proper. The Judge having given his "charge" to the jury, "they retired out of the court " to a small but a short distance off to make solemn inquest of crimes committed. The records do not show there was any business for the grand jury when they retired, but they were not long permitted to be idle.

Pg 324
The county was organized in 1805, and, in the same year, surveys were made and lots laid off, by Joseph C. Vance, on Section 23, for which William Ward held a patent

The first deed recorded was executed by Samuel Wheeler to Timothy Woods, in Mad River Township, March 2, 1805, and was recorded by Joseph C. Vance, September 30, 1805.

Pg399
Joseph C. Vance, was one of the first two men who became residents of what is now Urbana, and sur veyed the town in 1804. They afterward became " Directors." and were intimately connected with the early settlement and formation of the town. He had a family of nine children-two daughters and seven sons, of whom George Vance was the third son. His decease occurred in 1809. At that date Governor Vance was a young married man, with the advantages of being brought up in one of the first families of Urbana ; he had married Mary Lemon, a native of Virginia. During the war of 1812, he was Captain of a company of riflemen, and built a block-house at Quincy, on the Miami, and connected with the Quartermaster's department. He several times drove hoes and cattle to Fort Meigs (Perrysburg) for the supplies of the army. He became a member of the State Legislature in 1815, and a member of Congress from 1830 to 1836 afterward was called to the Governor's chair, and in 1845 and 1846 was again in Congress, and a member of the Constitutional Convention in 1851. On his way home from Cincinnati he suffered a severe stroke of paralysis, at Springfield, from which he never recovered. His death occurred in 1852, in the 67th year of his age. He had a family of twelve children-three daughters and nine sons-of whom the Judge is now the only survivor. He was born in 1811, and the second son grew to manhood in the early days of log-rollings, husking bees and quiltings, attended with horse races, and ending with an evening frolic. He was a pupil in a high school at Columbus, in 18'2'3, under the tutorship of Rev. Russell Bigelow, a pioneer Methodist minister of considerable ability. From 1827 to 1830, he was in attendance at the Miami University, henceforward was on a farm until 1859, when he located in Urbana. Two years later, he was elected Probate Judge, and re-elections have since followed, to 1878. During all his proceedings he had but one decision overruled. He married, Aug. 6, 1835, Mary R. Ward; grand-daughter of the original proprietor of Urbana; six sons and seven daughters have been born to them, of whom A. F., Jr., the subject of this sketch, on Feb. 18, 1868, married Mary G. Jamison, a native of this city, born Sept. 5, 1848, and daughter of William Jamison, a deceased merchant of Urbana. They have one daughter-Louisa J., born in July, 1872.

[HI15095] (Research):From:gwalters@wcrtc.net (Garth Walters) (email not working 3/2005) I too have searched for the parents of George and brother Israel Minnic h- 15 years! Last year I may have struck pay dirt. I have been to Rockingh am County, Virginia but the records I was hoping to find there, were destr oyed by a fire or water (I don't remember). I have, for some time, suspect ed that they came from Pennsylvania (Dutch country) but there was no proo f. However, I have found a Mathias & Christina Minnick (orginially name w as Muench) that had two sons, both a George and Israel from that area (Pen n.) and they mirrated to Virginia. There were 17 or 19 kids in the fami ly - the biggest I've ever run across Even more interesting is the fact th at the dates are within reason. I discovered this last summer while resear ching some history surrounding German immigration to America. If this n ew lead is truly Israel's and George's parents, I have a geneology that ru ns back to the 1600's and takes us to Germany and then France.

Champaign Co, Oh Beers History Mad River pg 721 GEORGE W. MINNICK, blacksmith, Westville. Among the business men or Westvi lle whom we are pleased to notice, is one of the pioneer smiths, who has l ived in Mad River Township for many years, and is the oldest man doing bus iness in this line in the neighborhood. He is a native of Virginia, and ca me to Ohio in 1831. He was born Nov. 14, 1808. His first location was in S pringfield, where he worked at his trade, and he came to Westville in 183 5. He knew well Thomas Kenton, Ezekiel Arrowsmith, Elisha Harbor, Willi am Harbor, William McGinnis, John Whitmore, George Zimmerman, Christian No rman, Henry Gideon, Valentine Miller, and many others who did a grand wo rk in the development of this county. He purchased the shop and tools of D aniel Long, and at once commenced business. He was married to Miss Susann ah Buroker Aug. 28, 1834. Business was good, and young Minnick, being an e xcellent workman, prospered well. His wife was a daughter of Adam Buroke r, a native of Virginia, and he was also one of the first settlers. Geor ge and his wife were parents of eight children, of whom only Israel, Sylve ster and Noah are living. Mrs. Minnick died in 1848. Aug. 28, of same yea r, he was married to Miss Nancy Wells, of Westville. They had six childre n, two of whom, Piatt and Glendora, still survive. All the children of t he first marriage have married and are living in the town of Westville. Ge orge has worked at the forge for fifty-three consecutive years, and two so ns, Israel and Sylvester, still do business at the old stand. Mr. Minni ck takes life rather easy, and only works at the trade when business is pu shing. He has voted the Democratic ticket all his life, and his first vo te was polled for Andrew Jackson ; he has reared a family of sons who a re of the same political opinion. He is known far and wide as a master wor kman, and his cordiality has made him a host of friends. He is now gent ly going down the hillside of life, but is withal the same jolly fellow th at the pioneers knew, and whose name will live in the history of their cou nty for all time.

He was a member of the National Guards, and a devout member of the Meth odist Episcopal Church for many years, being one of the most prominent off icials. He reared his children in the faith of his fathers, and the examp le set by him has done much to give them that straightforward business cha racter for which the Hedges family are noted. At the time of his deat h, he owned 185 acres of land.

F, of the 134th O. N. G., served for a term of fo ur months at the front in Virginia and other States of the South, in defen se of the country. Mr. Fuson, at the time of this call, was in the servi ce of the General Government as a Revenue Collector, but chose to surrend er his position in that department, that he might show his devotion by bea ring arms.

While in the army, he covenanted with G od to abandon the use of tobacco, a practice to which he had been addict ed for years ; and, upon his return home. he gave himself so entire ly up to this work against the use of tobacco that he became noted as t he leader of the Anti-Tobacco reformers of this part of the country, numbe ring among his followers some of the foremost citizens of the surroundi ng country. Of these, mention may be made of J. L. Guthridge, F. M. McAdam s, L. C. Guthridge, Moses Stutzman, L. G. Brown, William Thompson and ma ny others.

Champaign County, Ohio BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES ------------------------ SYLVESTER WARD, farmer; P. 0. Westville. We are proud of the the repsentat ives of so large a number of the pioneer families of this township. Althou gh many of the early pioneers are gone, their children still live; and c an give much valuable information in regard to the first settlements and t he style and manner of living. The parents of Mr. Ward, our subject, we re of the old Virginia stock; they were not the first settlers in this tow nship, but came here about 1815. They settled on the farm now the proper ty of Mr. Ward, and built a cabin in the dense woods. He probably enter ed the land, as there was considerable Government land. Most of the settle rs were natives of Shenandoah Co., Va., as were the parents of Sylvester W ard. The neighbors helped each other roll the logs together, as they h ad to be burned to make room for the crops. There were numerous Indian cam ps in the neighborhood when George Ward and his wife came, but during t he next few years all went further West. The children were ten in numbe r, and they were able to do much toward helping to clear up the land. T he old structure called " Gard's Mill" was the first one erected in this n eighborhood; this was long since pulled down. Game was plenty, but very f ew of the early settlers took much time to hunt. They carried their produ ce to Cincinnati on wagons; corn was then carted from this place to that c ity and sold for 20 to 25 cents per bushel. In all this work, women as we ll as men did their share. They could chop aud grub, and some of them cou ld reap wheat equal to any of the men. Wages were low, harvest hands gctti ng 50 cents per day. The first church was built on the site now occupi ed by the Nettle Creek Baptist Church, and the Baptists formed the fir. it congregation. Harrison Faulkner was the first teacher Sylvester had, a nd the log schoolhouse was furnished with seats made by splitting logs a nd putting in wooden pins for legs, without backs. Order was the subject m ost thoroughly taught, and the education of most of the children at that t ime was limited. Sylvester was born in 1826, and, after helping his fath er clear and otherwise improve his land until the age of 25, was marri ed to Miss Louisa A. Smith, in 1851 ; they commenced house- keeping in a l ittle house in his father's yard ; this structure is still standing. The ir life was passed as those of most people engaged in agricultural pursuit s, steadily increasing their possessions, and daily becoming, by energy a nd economy, more wealthy, until they now rank. among the rich people of t he township. They have four children-Philander, Loretta, Fernando and Rune tta ; Philander married Mary Straddling, of this county, and resides ne ar the old farm; Loretta is the wife of James M. Frank., also living in th is county; and Runetta married Elijah Heck., of Champaign Co., and resid es near St. Paris. The old homestead is in possession of Mr. Ward, who h as added a number of acres since commencing business. He is a solid Democr at, and is also one of the most highly respected men of his neighborhoo d. His residence is a nice one ; he is a genial host, and his lady o ne of the neatest housewives to be found.

Following are notes from Anita Fiedler who researches this line and is see king parents. Edward Ward 1764-1864 The few facts I know, after 16 years: (It is now 25 years, and I know nothing more after all these years of sear ching. AF) . According to grave in Dresden Cem. Montezuma, Poweshiek Co., IA his yea rs are 1764-1864. Birth years also recorded at top of a list of his ch ., and shared by desc. of Hannah Ward McVey. . He shares tombstone there with daughter Hannah Ward McVey and her husba nd James. . Tombstone placed by desc. after death of Hannah and James, in 1903. . Burial info says he was in War 1812, but have no such record and tri ed diligently. . First info I have for him is that he had 3 ch. in Clarksburg, Harris on Co., VA/WV in 1805-1808-1809. A historian there has never found a scr ap of documentation for this. I have it from obit of my ancestor....Edwar d's da. Elizabeth who m. Thomas Lowe. Also from Edward's da. Sophia's dea th certificate. Also from desc. of Edward's da. Emily who m. James Pau l. . Edward witnessed the sale of horses in Madison Co., OH Aug. 10, 181 6. The transaction was from Cornelius Cochran to J. Dennison. . His daughter Mary Ann (m. John Kisner 1843 Delaware Co., IN) has, in h er obit, the statement that she was born in Clark Co., OH July 9, 1813 "b ut when a girl came to this county having been one of the earliest residen ts of the county". (This refers to Wabash Co. where she lived when she di ed 1907.) Problem with this info is that obit for Mary Ann's sis, my o wn Elizabeth, says that the family left Clarksburg, VA in 1816 for Ohi o. One or the other has to be wrong. . His daughter, Sarah Jane Ward who m. Abner Hess (m. Abner Hess 1849 Gra nt Co., IN) has in her obit another couple mysteries. "Sarah Hess was t he sole survivor of a family of fourteen. She was 83 years of age. Bo rn in the vicinity of Elizabethtown, northwest of Hartford City, she resid ed there until the year 1849 when she moved to the premises where she died ." Two problems with these statements. One, if there were fourteen chil dren, I know of only 10 of them. And of the 10, I have been able to lea rn pertinent information on 8. Could the Joseph Ward who m. Ailcey Rober ts in 1825 in Clark Co., OH have been another son? The other problem is t hat census records indicate that Sarah was born in OH, not IN. Where ev er she was b., it is certain that she was in IN at an early age. . In "History of Blackford Co., IN" an Edward Ward is listed along with e arly pioneer settlers of the County. . Another mystery is that Edward's daughter Hannah Ward (m. James McV ey in Champaign Co., OH 1838) was evidently left behind in OH when Edwa rd and wife and tiny baby Sarah, and Sarah's and sister Mary Ann went to I N. Elizabeth and Sophia were also in OH, but they were 16 and 17. Elizab eth and Sophia lived their entire lives in Champaign Co., OH (after getti ng there from VA), sisters marrying Lowe brothers. Andrew was m. to Sar ah Marsh in Clark Co., OH in 1823, so it makes sense that he stayed in O H. Edward's da. Emily m. James Paul in Clark Co., OH 1832, and remain ed in OH.

Nonetheless, when Edward and wife and at least Mary Ann and Sarah Jane we re in IN so early (1825ish), left behind were Hannah, age 4; Eliza age 1 3; Elizabeth and Sophia, and maybe Delilah and William. I know nothing w hatsoever about those two except that they were included in two lists of E dward's ch. that have come to me. Who took care of Hannah and Eliza? I h ave found no guardianships for them in OH. . Hannah Ward m. James McVey in Champaign Co., OH in 1838, as I have sai d. "Her father attended the wedding", so says the marriage certificat e. So where ever Edward lived in 1838 (Indiana evidently?) he did atte nd Hannah's wedding back in Ohio. James and Hannah Ward McVey went to Del aware Co., IN where they bought land and lived until 1853 when they migrat ed to Poweshiek Co., IA. I discovered Hannah in Montezuma as result of li st of Edward's ch., and where they were located. This list was shared wi th my grandmother by a first cousin in the Lowe line. All the info check ed out as to the 8 ch. on the list. . An Edward Ward, supposedly mine, was in 1820 census for Moorefield Twp ., Clark Co. OH that matches up pretty well with my Edward's fam. . Edward Ward sold land in Springfield, OH in 1821 to Joel Stone. I ha ve copy of sale. No wife signed at all, and Edward signed with an x. Tho ugh I tried many times, I could not learn when/how/from whom Edward purcha sed this land in the first place. . Edward Ward was insolvent in Clark Co., OH in 1825. "The followi ng is a list of debts given in by Edward Ward a petitioner for the benef it of the Insolvent Act before me Iva Paige Commissioner of Insolven ts in and for the County of Clark this 16th day of September, 1825 - a Jud gment on the docket of Saml. Lafferty Esqr. in favor of Robert F. Miller f or which I am now imprisoned on Acct. of Judgt. is - - - - - - - - - - - $ ." The document goes on to list all debts and creditors. He owed .12 1 /2 to a Mr. Jonier a hatter of Mechanicsburg. The item that would bear fu rther investigation, though I tried once, is this one: "To Mr. Spain form erly of Mechanicsburg dec'd. Judgt. on the docket of Esqr. Cany at $18.0 0" That is by far the largest amount owed. Next is $16.00 to George Meds kee on open account. Will write to a friend to see if she can learn anyth ing of these two items. Where was Medskee located? What was the judgme nt on docket of Esqr. Cany? "The foregoing is all the debts that I am owing to the best of my knowled ge and I have no debts or claims of any description due to me from any per son or persons whatever - question what was the cause of your insolven cy - Answer I lost a valuable stud horse other horses and have had a gre at deal of sickness in my family which is large Seven children livi ng at home 6 daughters and one son - Edward X (his mark) Ward." 16th d ay of Sept. 1825. The children at home in Sept. of 1825 were: Elizabet h, Sophia, Eliza, Mary Ann, Delila, and Hannah plus son William. Tha t, at least, fits. Sarah to be born one month later.

Daughter Sarah Jane was born October 24, 1825.....a month and a week aft er the insolvency. Either in OH or in IN. Did Edward and wife go to IN i mmediately after insolvency? If so, who cared for the other young childr en back in Ohio? Did Edward return to Ohio for the marriages of his oth er daughters? We know he was present in 1838 for the wedding of Hanna

. I received a copy of the list of the ch. of Edward and Nancy Shaul War d, and it said that Nancy was from Rockingham Co., VA. Harrisburg. I cou ld find no record of her there. I was there personally. There was refer ence to Nancy Ward in "Orchard" in Clark Co., OH. Orchard is now kno wn as Brighton. Found no information for her there. Will note that a Sha ul line that I know a great deal about was in Rockingham, then Pendleto n, then Harrison Counties in VA, and they ended up in Champaign/Clark Co ., OH early. Two of the Shauls in this line married Ward sisters, daughte rs of a William Ward. I have not been able to identify who William Ward w as, but one of the girls, Elizabeth, was b. in MD ca. 1791.

Edward's wife was Nancy SHALL/SHAUL. I have no marriage for them. Nan cy is named on death certificate of their daughter Sarah Jane Ward Hes s. Edward's name "Edward" is written RIGHT ON TOP OF "John". Edward Jo hn Ward? John Edward Ward? Edward in census, sale of horses, insolvenc y, tombstone. The only document naming him Edward/John is the death certi ficate of da. Sarah Jane.

The first child that I know of b. to Edward and Nancy Shaul Ward was Andr ew b. 1802. He is reported as having been a "native of VA" in a biograp hy of one of his children. Edward would have been about 37 at the bir th of this first child. This always seems unlikely to me, though of cour se possible. I wonder if he had a first wife, and four children by h er to make up the fourteen that are reported in Sarah Jane's obit. I ha ve Hannah's obit also, and it states that Hannah had only two living sibli ngs, Sarah Jane and Mary Ann. Hannah died in 1904, Mary Ann in 1907, a nd Sarah Jane in 1908. So Hannah's obit claims Sarah Jane as a sister.

I have found considerable information in regard to Andrew, Emely, Elizabet h, Sophia, Eliza, Mary Ann, Hannah and Sarah Jane. None whatsoever on Del ilah or William. William is supposed to have died in Indiana with no chil dren born to him. I have a death date of 1869 for him from that same li st of the 10 children. I have located descendants of Emely, Elizabeth, So phia, Eliza, Mary Ann, and Hannah. I have estate settlement for Andre w. Eliza m. Thomas ASHING, my second great grand uncle on my father's si de of the family. Eliza was my second great grand aunt on my mother's Wa rd side of the family. Thus I have particular interest in that particul ar couple.

I will state at this time that in trying to locate Edward and Nancy Sha ul Ward's daughter Delilah, I discovered a Delia Ward, 21, in the 1850 c ensus for Moorefield Twp.., Clark Co. OH. in household of William and Marg aret Roberts. In the 1860 census she was still in the household of just M argaret Roberts, but listed as Delila age 26. I have learned a great de al about that household, all because of looking for my own Delilah. Marga ret Roberts was the second wife of William Roberts, and he was her seco nd husband. Margaret Evans was first m. to Abijah Ward Jr. who d. Clark County., OH 1841. Abijah's father died in Champaign Co., 1816. In the 1850 c ensus in the Roberts household were the following Ward children, all c h. of Margaret and Abijah Ward Jr.: Delia, Susan E. 13, and Joseph, 1 2. Then in the 1860 census we have a 30 year old Isaac Ward, Delila, a nd Joseph who is then 21. Now in addition still, there was a 25 yr. old M ary Ward and her two children Lucinda 7 and John 4. The mother b. VA a nd uncertain (can't read for sure) whether the ch. b. VA or OH. I ha ve done a GREAT deal of study with this family over the years. I have t he estate settlement and will of the Isaac who had joined the 1860 famil y. He died the next year. I believe it is his son John who later marri ed a FORD and raised a little girl in my extended ASHING line. I am qui te certain of this. I am digressing here, but wanted to establish that th is is just one instance where there is evidence that my ASHINGS/FORDS/WARD S/ROBERTS had to do with one another. There is a m. of an Ashing into th is larger ROBERTS family, but again that is subject for another study.

MORE MYSTERIES, AS IF THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH ALREADY: Census problems. . It is my theory that there were two distinct Edward Wards in Clark/Champ aign Co. 1820-1830-1840. If the birth year of my Edward/John is corre ct at 1764, he would have been about 56 in 1820. 66 in 1830. 77 in 184 0. There is the Edward in 1820 in Moorefield Twp., Clark Co., OH, sho wn as 26-45/ There is an Edward Ward in 1830 in Urbana Twp., Champai gn Co., OH. There is an Edward Ward in 1840 census Union Twp., Champai gn Co., OH. No Edward in either County in 1850. Some researchers think t hat all three Edward Wards are one and the same man in 1820; 1830; 184 0. That would explain how Edward attended his da. Hannah's wedding. B ut if he was living right there, why would they even have noted that on t he marriage certificate? And the larger question, if he was in Ohio for a ll three censuses, who was over in Indiana with Sarah Jane and Mary An n? They were both m. after 1840 in IN. Sarah's obit claimed she was BO RN in IN, and Mary Ann's claimed she went there as a young child. Thou gh the basic age groupings in all three census records show that they cou ld be one and the same family, the age of the adult male (father) is n ot consistent with Edward b. 1764. The 1820 shows him as 26-45; 1830 sho ws him as 40-50 and the 1840 shows him as 40-50. I take that to mean he w as 40 in 1830 and 50 in 1840, therefore b. ca. 1790. That makes him too y oung to have had Andrew in 1802, and questionable in regard to Emely b. 18 05, and maybe even for Elizabeth and Sophia 1808 and 1809. Possible for t hem, of course. Edward had no land to pay taxes on in 1831-1833, but he d id pay tax on one horse and four cattle in these years in Urbana Twp. Cham paign Co., OH. I simply cannot explain these apparent problems.

I will say that it is interesting to see who was located near Edward in t he three census records. Ann Lowe and Robert Low, both with large famili es were quite near him. Two of his daughters married Low/Lowe brother s. I do not know Ann or Robert however.

In Champaign Co. in 1830 the names I can identify from one context or ano ther are Stinebarger, Sparks, SEARGEANT, VERMILLION, AND DOKE. David Do ke is just two names away. In 1840 the names of Vance, Reed, Conklin, Min turn, Paul, Harper, Neer, Swisher are all close by....and those are a ll on just one page. On one side of Edward's name is Allen Minturn (assoc iated with yet Abijah Ward family), and on the other side is my own Jam es Paul, spouse of Edward's daughter Emely.

I will take this mystery one step further. There is a marriage for an Edw ard Ward to a Nancy Dumont in Delaware Co., IN in 1845. Edward and this N ancy are together in the 1850 census. He is reported as being 60 and Nan cy 45. This Edward was born in MARYLAND. (b. 1790) Three of Nancy's old er children are with them, two b. OH and David age 9 b. IN. Edward is n ot with Nancy in the 1860 census. She remains with her children, and s he died in IN in 1895. What happened to Edward?

There is an Edward Ward in the 1856 census for Mahaska Co., IA and in t he 1860 census there. In 1856 he is reported to be 70, born in MARYLAN D, and nearly deaf. He married Rhoda Walden/Waldren 2 Jan. 1855 in Mahas ka Co., and this couple and Rhoda's children are in the 1856 and 1860 cens us. I could find no death record for this Edward Ward. Mahaska is a nei ghboring County to Poweshiek where my Edward Ward is buried. (No pro of of burial. Just his name on tombstone of da. Hannah.)

None of the above Edward Wards seem to be the propertied age of my 3 rd g. grandfather, supposedly born in 1764. The one in Champ. Co. 1830 a nd 40, the one in Delaware Co., IN in 1850, and the one in Mahaska Co ., IA 1856 and 1860 sound like they could be the same man. In all these y ears of searching, I have not been able to answer these questions.

When I located a descendant in line of Mary Ann Kisner and asked her if th ere were any family stories or traditions concerning Edward Ward, she sa id the only thing she ever heard was that "he had trouble with women" a nd that he had a mouth full of gold teeth.

I believe what I have shared here is all I know. I cannot verify a bir th place, a marriage date or place, an obituary (though he is referr ed to as having reached a "patriarchal age" in a bio of one of the des c. of Hannah Ward McVey) or a War Record for War 1812. I have not found i nformation for his wife Nancy Shaul, though I did have a lead for where s he might be buried, but again, not verifiable.

. I do have a picture of Edward, and located a descendant of my same ances tor.....Edward's daughter Elizabeth who m. Thomas Lowe. This lady has t he very same picture! And I have pictures of Hannah and Elizabeth in the ir elder years, and they are dead (no pun intended) ringers for each othe r. All three of them. Especially Hannah and Edward.

So there is a summation of my information on my third great grandfather Ed ward/John Ward. Sixteen years of work on just four pages. But that 's it folks. prepared March 1996 by Anita Fiedler (All above still holds true through N ovember 2006)

In that one of the ch. in 1880 had their fa. EW b. in MD I have also track ed sooooooo many Wards in MD at the right time period. The "younge r" EW in the 1830 census in Champ.Co., OH, IF HE IS THE SAME ONE THAT SHO WS UP IN 1850 IN IN AND THEN THE SAME ONE THAT SHOWS UP IN 1860 IN IA..... .........the one in Indiana and the one in IA were b. in MD! Supporti ng my wonderment if the younger one, b. ca. 1790, could be son of my EW a nd an unknown first wife.

According to his tombstone in Spring Grove Cem. Champaign Co. Ohio Elij ah was 7 years 11 months 22 days. Thus he was born 3 Jan 1764 but parents married M ar 1765. He joined Middletown Monthly Meeting in 1784 but was disowned from t he Falls Monthly Meeting for marrying out of unity in the 4th month 179 3. He was reinstated in 1822; granted a certificate to Makefield Monthly Meeti ng in 1822; disowned in 1829. Later he joined the Hicksite group and moved to Oh io in 1839 where there were probably no Quaker meetings at that time. Elijah was fou nd in the Bucks Co. land records. Among the entries were 18 May 1811, Elijah a nd Lucy Leedom sell land in Lower Makefield Twp. that Thomas Yardley granted un to Elija Leedom by Deed 1 April 1807. No record of the 1807 deed could be found, b ut it is likely that Thomas was Lucy's father. Elijah sold land in 1834 and aga in in 1837. Then on 24 April 1839 the last of his land in Bucks Co. was sold by Sheriff and the family then went to Ohio. Mention of Elijah was also fou nd in the first month of 1788 when he attended militia meeting rather than be fi ned.

In 1839 the family moved to Ohio and in 18 40 he was in Johnson Twp., Champaign Co. with his son John.

The Democracy of this county will present to the Democratic Judicial Convention of this Circut, for Circut Judge, the name of Thomas J. Frank, of Urbana. Mr. Frank is a lawyer of recognized ability. He is a sound and clear thinker. He would bring to the bench that Judicial dignity and regard of Jurisprudence, so lacking in these latter days. His nomination would add largly to the Democratic vote in this section and his personal popularity would run him hundreds ahead of his ticket.

[DI15499] The Champaign Democrat

T. J. FRANK PASSED AWAY

PROMINENT LAWYER SUCCUMBS TO THE INEVITABLE
MADE HIS OWN WAY IN THE WORLD
WELL KNOWN ATTORNEY HAD MADE FORTUNE PRACTICING LAW IN URBANA - HAD DISTINGUISHED ANCESTORS
Attorny Thomas J. Frank, one of Urbana's oldest and leading lawyers and the dean of the Champaign county bar, died at midnight at his home on North Main Street. His death was due to gangrene, which had resulted from diabetes, from which he had been suffering for a long time. He has been suffering with gangrene in his foot for a number of months and had visited leading specialists in New York, Chicago, Columbus and other places in order to try to secure relief but nothing could be done to save him and it had been known for some time that his death was inevitable. He had had three very bad attacks but had become considerly better after each of these. His last attack came Sunday morning at three o'clock and he had been in a critical condition ever since, gradually getting weaker until he died. He was conscious right up till his death.

GANGRENE SETS IN
Attorny Frank had been in poor health, suffering from diabetes a long time but had kept on attending to business. Last winter while engaged in the trial of the Edgel Wiant lawsuit he pulled a corn out of one of his great toes which left a sore and in which gangrene set in. For several weeks he went to and from his office in a cab but had not been at his office since last May. He had several physicians who had attended him. He made one trip to Chicago, another to Columbus, and the last trip he made to New York to consult specialists but they could do him no good.

AN ORPHAN AT FOUR
Mr. Frank was born in Indiana on a farm about twelve miles from Wisona Lake, on June 29, 1849, being 64 years old. His father died when he was four, leaving his mother a widow with practically no support. At the age of fifteen Mr. Frank was thrown upon his own resources. He was educated in the rural schools of Shelby county where his mother moved and graduated at the St. Paris high school, where he and his mother later lived. During all this time he taught to support himself and his mother, having taught in several places in the west end of the county. After he graduated from high school he went to the University of Michigan where he graduated after a four years course and was later admitted to the bar. He studied law for some time with the firm of Leedom and Taylor in Urbana. Mr. Leedom of the firm was his uncle. Upon being admitted to the bar, however, Mr. Frank opened an office of his own which was in 1876 and he has practiced in Urbana ever snce. He occupied the office on North Main street for over thirty years.

DISTINGUISHED FAMILY
Mr. Frank was one of the brightest lawyers Urbana has ever had and has been eminently successful. He came of a bright and distinguished family on his mother's side. His grandmother Leedom, his mother's mother, having been a Stockton, a celebrated New Jersey family. Frank R. Stockton the author and other famous men were members of this family. The home of this family was at Princeton, New Jersy, and the homestead of the family later became the residence of former President Grover Cleveland.

HAD LARGE FORTUNE
Mr. Frank is survived by his wife and one son, Wilbur, who lives at Canton, Ohio. He also has two grandchildren, a little boy and a little girl. One other son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank, but he died at the age of four years. The deceased during his long and successful practice of law in Urbana had accumulated a good sized fortune. He owned much property, including the business block at the southwest corner of the Sqaure and South Main streets. He had many very wealthy clients whose business affairs he attended to and since he has become unable to attend to business many of these clients have suffered great inconvenience.

A STAUNCH DEMOCRAT
Mr. Frank had always been a staunch Democrat in politics. When Tom Cowgill was a candidate for a second term in the legislature, Mr. Frank opposed him and came within a few votes of defeating him, although the county has a large Repubican majority.
Mr. Frank's mother resided with him and he was very much devoted to her for a number of years before her death. She died three years ago and was buried at St. Paris.

FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS
The arrangements for Mr. Frank's funeral have not been definitely made and will not until the arrival of the son who is expected some time Tueasday night. The services will probalby be held from the home on Thursday afternoon at four o'clock. Burial will be made at Oak Dale.

Urbana Daily Citizen September 3, 1913

ST. PARIS ERA-DISPATCH, Thurs., 19 July 1888 Another terrible reminder that death is always lurking near came last Sabb ath afternoon in the form of a telegram from Brush Lake saying that John L EFFEL , a son of Fred LEFFEL , a well known St. Paris lumber merchant, h ad drowned. Our people have been shocked before by several sudden and appo alling accidents, but this seemed to unnerve every body. It seemed impossible that it could be true. It appearas that the unfortuna te young man, with the following companions, left on the 10 o'clock tra in Sunday forenoon for Brush Lake for the purpose of bathing and swimmin g; Will M. HUFFMAN, Frank and Will BATDORF, Chas. TOMLIN, Will LOSH, Ge o. W. WILLIAMS, Ed. E. REEDER and Oza BENSON, of St. Paris; Will HEFFNE R, John R. MARSHALL, Milt DEATON and a Mr. BRIGHT, of Addison. After th ey were nearly done bathing and about 12:20 o'clock young LEFFEL stepp ed on a spring-board, fastened to a platform at the edge of the lake, a nd remarked to Frank BATDORF, who was standing near him: "Frank, I'm goi ng to see how far I can dive." At that he disappeared in the water below and his friends saw him alive f or the last time. He never came to the top, and it is thought that in maki ng the dive he bounded up too far and was thrown backward into the wate r, when he lost control of himself and was carried back under the platfor m, where he became fastened and drowned before help could reach him. His c ompanions waited and waited for him to come up. Realizing his fate they hu rriedly tore up the platform, secured hooks and scoured the lake for his b ody. After three hours of fruitless search they finally caught him by t he shirt collar and pulled his lifeless from to dry land. The lake, whe re he was found, was 25 feet deep. His remains were carried to the railroad track, near the lake, and broug ht home on the 6 o'clock evening train. At the depot here a large cro wd of people and his grief-stricken relatives had assembled to give h im a sad welcome home, when he was conveyed to his late residenc, the re to await his burial on Tuesday. The funeral took place from the Baptist church at 10 o'clock, and was a la rge one, the house being over crowded. Rev. MURRAY delivered the discour se and was assisted by Revs. E. D. SMITH and W. R. THOMAS. Interment at Ev ergreen. He was 21 years, 9 months and 28 days old. He was strong, healthy and acti ve, and the bloom of manhood had just settled on his fair form. He was go od hearted, full of fun and quite witty at times. Like us all he had his f aults. His surviving friends can emulate his good traits of character a nd discard his evel ones. The pall-bearers were: Will LOEB, Chas. TOMLIN, Will and Frank BATDORF, Ge o. W. WILLIAMS and Will M. HUFFMAN--six of the young men who were with h im at the fatal moment. The sympathy of our people goes out to this family, which has twice been s uddenly stricken with the deaths of two sons, Clement and John, just as th ey were entering manhood. It is understood his father didn't want him to go away, but urged him to s tay at home. On Monday Will M. HUFFMAN, Oza BENSON, Ed REEDER, Will and Frank BATDORF w ent to Urbana and were examined by Coroner DOWELL as to the facts of the d rowning.

His right side was completely paralyzed and he had no u se of his arms and legs from the affliction. He lost altogether the u se of his tongue. For two weeks after he could speak, but after that his v oice failed him and no utterance of his could be understood. He lay over s even weeks in his bed, requiring unceasing and particular attention. Mr. P ENCE was born in Champaign county, Ohio, about the year 1826, and remov ed to this locality, settling on the place where he died, in 1847.

[HI15631] (Research):Oliver, incidentally, had not bothered to divorce his first wife, Eve Kibl er, back in Page Co., Virginia. erik@toadhollow.com (Erik Thorson)

In her "Bastardy" suit in 1833, Sarah Snider said that "she was deliver ed of the child in Madriver Township where she then and now resides." S he also states that the child was begotten "on the plantation of Gabriel Snider my brother and near his house." She says th at Oliver Lillard "went home with me from Henry Comers to my brothers hous e."

Sarah SNIDER states that, as of 20 July 1833, "she is an unmarried woman a nd never has been married."

I am also looking for information on Ellanore Lillard, who married Geor ge Washington Jenkins in Champaign County on 13 Oct 1850. I believe th at she may be the illegitimate daughter of Oliver Lillard and Sarah Snide r. Sarah Snider sued Oliver Lillard in Champaign Co. Chancery Court in 18 33 regarding her female child born 11 Aug 1832, Erik Thorsen

Record Book 13, Pages 297-300- Filed 22 July 1833-Bastardy Sarah Snyder vs Oliver Lillard Martin Pence was the surity for Oliver Lillard's $200 bond. Sarah Snider c harged that she had a child born (11?0 August last (1832) in Mad River Tow nship. While she was living in the home of her brother Gabriel Snyder, s he left the house late at night to meet Oliver Lillard. On 2 Spet 18 33 he filed papers that denied his guilt. On 27 March 1834 the complaint d id not show in court and it was ruled that Oliver Lillard could recover fr om her, his costs and charges to defend himself.

Examination The State of Ohio Champaign County - Case of bastardy on complaint of Sar ah Snider (vs) Oliver Lillard - Said Sarah Snider being sworn and under ex amination in above complaint states that she is an unmarried woman and nev er has been married that she has been delivered of a bastard female chi ld on the 11th day of August last and the father thereof is Oliver Lilla rd and that she was delivered of the child in Madriver Township where s he then and now resides. Question by defendant. When was the child begot ten. Answer. On the plantation of Gabriel Snider my brother and near h is house. Question by Deft. What time in the day or night was it begotte n. Answer. It was late at night. Q. How did he happen to meet with y ou at that time of night. A. he went home with me from Henry Come rs to my brothers house and staid to near day break. Q. Was he with t he family in the house. A. Part of the time. Q. Was anybody else the re except your brothers family. A. No I believe not. Q. How did y ou go out that time of night. A. He made me promise to go out, and I d id go out. Question by defendant. When and how often had he connection w ith you before and after the time before stated. A. Never before that ti me but 6 or seven times since. Q. When was the child begotten. A. On t he forepart of the last fall month previous to the child being born, a nd on Monday of the week. Q. Had you intercourse with any other person n ear that time or within six months. A. I have not. Q. What position w as you in when the child was begotten. A. Standing up. Question by atto rney for complainant. Is the child living. Answer. Yes it is. And furt her this deponent saith not.

Besides the warrant issued for Oliver Lillard and the subpoena issued f or Sarah Snider, the court also issued subpoenas for M. Pence and for A. M agrew. Personal notation- ( M Pence could be Martin Pence, father of Nan cy Pence who married Oliver Lillard 9-14-1832 within 4 months. and Archiba ld MaGrew who's son Hamilton Magrew married Elizabeth Snyder, d/o Daniel S nyder Jr, gd of Daniel Snyder, poss father of Sarah.

Oliver's main defense (besides "it wasn't me"), is that on 1 September 183 2, "the said Sarah did by her certain writing of release sealed with her s eal and now shown to the court ... release, acquit and finally discharged the said Oliver Lillard from the payment of any sum or su ms of Money on account of her having had said child and from any legal pro ceedings or prosecution whatever against him the said Oliver either in h er own name or in any other name and did agree not to institute or cau se to be instituted any prosecution or legal proceedings against said Oliv er on account or in consequence of having had said child as by the said de ed ..."

So I know that I'm guilty of reading between the lines, but I'm wonderi ng if, three weeks after she's given birth, Oliver and his buddies (acti ng as witnesses) show up and cajole this 17-year-old into making her " X" on a document that says not that Oliver isn't the father of her chil d, but rather that Oliver is not financially responsible for the child. T he "M. Pence" subpoenaed may well have been Martin Pence, the father of Nancy Pence who married Oliver on the 14th of that same mont h.

Record Book 12, Page 390- Heard 3 October 1832 State of Ohio vs Oliver Lillard Oliver Lillard was summoned to appear as a witness in the case of the Sta te of Ohio vs John L Stephens. As Lillard did not appear in court, he w as charged court costs for his case.

Record Book 19 Pg 14 (no date, prob 1839) On motion ordered that Olier Lillard have license to keep a Temperance Tav ern in the town of Westville for one year on his filing Treasurers recei pt for the sum of $200.

State of Ohio vs John L Stevens The complaint of Maria Gready, an unmarried woman of Mad River Township, w as transferred by John Taylor, Esq, JP. ON 27 May 1832 Maria delivered a b astard child and John L Stephens was the father. The child was conceiv ed on 27 August 1831. Maria had been married, but her husband was deceas ed and apparently could not have been the father of the baby, Impannell ed jury, 10 Oct 1832- William Holler, Jno Hamilton, John Dunlap, Thomas Mo ore, John Colbert, Richard Baldwin, Archibald Magrew, John Thomas, Antho ny Patrick, John McCord, Wesley Hughes and William Patrick. They found Jo hn L Stephens guilty and ordered him to pay four years maintenance, at $44 0, to the Overseers of the Poor of Mad River Township.

In the 1850 census for Grant County, IN, Oliver Lillard was found on t he same page with George Martin from TN, Wm Baker from PA, Henry Oling er from VA, Francis Smith from OH, Stephen Lewis from OH, Lewis Pence fr om OH. Jacob Pence was at the top of the next page followed by Joseph B uraker. I also found O. Lillard in ChampCo in 1840 near David Pence a nd Joseph Smith. He was also in ShenCo in 1830 with no children.

O. Lillard was present at the marriage of MaryAnn Corder and Elza Twi gg in 1844.

Thanks for the information.. I also dug into it further and found fr om my mother (Mary Elva Schneider, Alta Pence's daughter, Henrietta Ammon 's grand daughter) that Henrietta Ammon remarried after the death of Le vi Pence to a man with the last name of Wearyean. She was very old when s he remarried. I also did not see anything with regards to the date of her death. Again, my mother said Henrietta died in 1946. I have a picture of Henrietta Ammon, her parents (not sure of their names) and her 7 siblings, dated 1887. Her mothers obit in 1929 names daughter Henrietta wearyman of Richmond IN.

[HI15650] (Research):

According to an inscription located on the tombstone of William & Delil ah Colbert, they were the parents of: "Isaiah, Jemima, Jesse, William, Fr ancis, John, Absolom, Eliza Ann, Emaline, Abraham, Noah & Sarah Jane"

William was the son of ABRAHAM PENCE who was born in the 1770s probab ly in VA; died 1828 Clark County, Oh.; married Jemima Robinson 5 May 18 00 in Madison County, Va. (bond date; she was born in 1780 in Virginia acc ording to the 1850 census). Note that family sources claim her maiden na me was Logan, but there is no evidence for this. [Jemima is possibly the sist er of Millie Robinson, whose marriage to George Boswell is recorded on t he same page of the Madison County marriage record as the marriage of Abra ham and Jemima. George Boswell also came to Champaign / Clark area (he w as first married to a Barbara Pence who appears to have been Abraham's sis ter). The Boswells went with some of the Pences - including my 3rd great g randfather, to Bartholomew County, IN, where they are known as Bozell a nd where there are quite a few Pence-Bozell marriages.]

[DI15650] A death notice of William Pence was found in the St. Paris New Era,
Thursday, 2 October 1880 - "William Pence, an old citizen of this Twp., died last night." (Reference: Champaign County, Ohio St. Paris, compiled by Doro thy Shaffer, published by the Champaign County Genealogical Societ y, P. O. Box 680, Urbana, OH 43078-0680, June 2000, Page 25). It was also located in the Urbana Citizen and Gazette, Thursday, 7 October 1880 - " William Pence died in Millerstown, Fri, 75 yr." (Reference: Champaign
County, Ohio Newspaper Abstracts, 'The Urbana Citizen and Gazette' 1871-188 4, by Pat Stickley, December 2000, Champaign County Genealogical Societ y, P. O. Box 682, Urbana, Ohio 43078-0682, Page 170).

[XI15650] According to an inscription located on the tombstone of William & Delilah Colbert, they were the parents of: "Isaiah, Jemima, Jesse, William,
Francis, John, Absolom, Eliza Ann, Emaline, Abraham, Noah & Sarah Jane"

[HI15652] (Research):According to the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church Records, "Pheba Pence died 6 September 1885" (Reference: Champaign County, Ohio Records, Pa rt 1, Adams Township, Johnson Township, by Denise Kay Mahan Moore, P. O. B ox 752, Gautier, MS 39553-0752, 1982, Page 108). I did not locate a gra ve for Phebe Scott Pence. An obit was not located in the St. Paris newspapers(newspapers missing from February 1884 through November 1885) and the Urbana Citizen and Gazette has not been published for 1885.

Was this Phoebe the Phoebe Merica who married Joseph Scott 3/22/1838 in Champaign Co, OH? Joseph Scott remarried to a Miss Prudence Beck 10/30/1864 Champagin Co, OH .

Denise K Moore research: I can't trace, or at least prove, the Merica families. Christopher Merica died prior to the enumeration of the 1820 census of Rockingham Count y, Virginia and I believe that it is his decsendants that came to Ohio, but I can't prove anything. They were in Champaign County in 1820-183 0. (1) James Merica m. Nancy Mole
(It is probably his son, John Merica whom. Nancy Underwood, who came to Champaign Co.) (2) John Merica;
(3) Catharine Merica m. William Turner; (4) Conrad Merica m. Catharine Widick ( 5) Christopher; (6) male b. 1800-1810. Of the children of Christopher on ly John and Conrad had females born 1810-1815 or 1815-1820 that could ha ve been Phebe Scott Pence born circa 1816.The only one that remained was Christopher Merica (b. ca. 1779 (1850 cnesus); died 4 March 1867. Christop her deeded away his land prior to his death and had no chattels to distrib ute and left no estate. I believe his children were: (1) male - Henry m. Diana Bodey; (2) female; (3) female (possibly Mary m. David Maggart ); (4) female (Barbara m. Adam Maggart); (5) male (Joseph m. Amelia "Milly" Maggart) (6) Zachariah m. Mary "Polly" Terrell & Sarah Purkeypile (7) f emale (Amelia/Permelia m. Elijah Pence) (8) female (Anna M./Leanna m. Jacob Maggart) (9) male; (10) male (Daniel m. Susannah Smith & Maria Miller).

There was another Merica, John, who died prior to 1850; m. #2, Mary "Polly" Frisinger. His children were not born until 1820 or later. There we re eight children and I can prove four: Nancy Ann m. John Yutsler Jr; Stephen D., Noah & John/Jonathan.

I rather think that the Phebe Merica who married Joseph Scott left the area. I have not traced any early Scott families except the family of Asa Sco tt and his wife, Mary White. Asa settled in Johnson Township circa 1839.
