The former was born in Virginia in 1805, and the latter in Pennsylvania in 1810. He emigrated to Ohio in 1810, and with his parents, settled in Greene County, where he remained until their death, the former in 1839, and the latter in 1872. They were married in Greene County in 1830. Our subject, after his father's death, remained at home with his mother until he was twenty-five years of age, when he was united in marriage with Nancy McDorman, September 10, 1863. She was born in Greene county, Ohio, August 3, 1842. Soon after their marriage they moved on the farm of 150 acres, where they now reside, and he has since added to it until he owns at the present 200 acres. He has been engaged in farming and raising stock all his life. He acquired a good common school education, and has filled the office of Township Trustee of Stokes Township one term. He and wife are the parents of three children — Alvaretta, Susie and Genevra. The parents have been members of the Christian Church for eight years.
