NATHAN HEACOCK Biographical Sketch

NATHAN HEACOCK, was born in Rockhill township, Bucks Co , Pa., April 16, 1783. He was the son of Jeremiah and Sarah Heacock. Jonathan, the grandfather of Jeremiah, emigrated from Staffordshire, England, to America about the year 1711, and settled in Chester, Delaware Co., Pa. He and his wife, Ann, brought with them from England a certificate of their rights of membership in the Society of Friends, which has been continued in a direct line to the present generation. William, the son of Jonathan, was born in Marple, Chester Co., Pa., Jan. 13, 1716. He subsequently settled in Rockhill township, Bucks Co., Pa., where he married Ann Roberts, a lady of Welsh descent. He and his son, Jeremiah, were both millwrights, and were owners of a saw- and gristmill in Bucks County. Sarah Heacock, the mother of Nathan, was the daughter of James and Ann Morgan, also of Welsh descent. Her father, while on the road with his team, was forced into the service of Gen. Braddock, and was at Fort Duquesne (now Pittsburgh) at the time of the memorable defeat of the British in 1755.

About the year 1790, Nathan’s father, Jeremiah Heacock, sold his property in Bucks Co., Pa., and removed to Northampton Co., Pa., where he remained some seven years. In that rough backwoods region was the boyhood of Nathan spent. His father, Jeremiah, died Jan. 1, 1797, in the fifty-eighth year of his age. This event produced an entire change in the course of his son, whose career we are briefly depicting. With a brother younger than himself he went on foot forty miles from their late residence to the neighborhood of his grandfather’s place, in Richland township, Bucks Co., Pa. Remaining in the family of Joseph Custard for three years, he was apprenticed to John Trumbower to learn the wagon-maker’s trade.

Sept. 9, 1806, he married Dinah Dennis, daughter of Amos and Jane Dennis, and settled with her mother, who was a widow, in Richland township, Pa.

In 1813, he removed to Columbia Co., Pa.; but three years later he came to Ohio, and settled in Goshen township, Columbiana (now Mahoning) Co., about two miles northwest of Salem. Here for several years he battled with the forest, and by perseverance and frugality earned a living, but his limited means becoming involved, in 1821 he sold his farm and sought another location “ farther in the woods.” At the Steubenville land-office he “entered” the southwest quarter of section 28, in Smith township, Columbiana (now Mahoning) Co. The parchment deed, which gave him title to this tract, was signed by President James Monroe, and is now in the possession of his son, who retains the old home. This land was in what was then known as the “ beech woods,” and was considered by the early residents as scarcely worth possessing. But good cultivation and careful management have made it one of the finest farms in the county. The following incident, which occurred at the time of their removal to their new and forest home, will illustrate some of the hardships of the pioneers: Nathan and his two eldest sons went the first of the week to their place to chop, taking a week’s provisions with them; the early summer weather, warm and showery, caused their bread to mould, and to make their allowance hold out the allotted time they concluded to eat the worst portions first. As it moulded as fast as they consumed it, their fare consisted of mouldy bread through the entire week. When ready to return home, they went to the house of their only neighbor, Daniel Barton, a mile distant, to get a meal to sustain their strength for an eight-mile walk. And the good wife gave them plentifully of corn-cake. Mr. Heacock often remarked that he thought this was one of the best meals he ever ate.

After building his log cabin, he moved his family to the wilderness home April 3, 1825. By diligent labor they soon had a comfortable home.

Mr. Heacock was one of the few who, in 1829, erected a building and opened a Friends’ meeting (Hicksite) two miles south of the centre of Smith township.

His family consisted of eleven children, — eight sons and three daughters, — namely: Jane D., born in Bucks Co., Pa., Aug. 12, 1812; married Ezra Bartou, 1832; died January, 1837. Edwin, born in Bucks County, April 19, 1811; married Hannah Barber, 1836; is a farmer, located near fiis father’s place. Milton, born at Fishing Creek, Pa., Dec. 23, 1815; is a carpenter by trade, and built the house shown in the illustration of Mr. Heacock’s farm; was twice married, — to Rebecca Thomas, 1838 (deceased), and Hannibah Passmore, 1846; he now resides in Oregon. Barton, born in Goshen township, Columbiana Co., Ohio, Jan. 13, 1818; married Rachel Barber, 1839; a farmer. Asenath, born at Fishing Creek, Pa., June 26, 1814; married Nathaniel Thomas, 1841; at present living in Iowa. Amos D., born in Bucks Co., Pa., Oct. 27, 1808; died at his father’s house, in ColumbianaCo., Ohio, Nov. 18, 1841. Uriah A., born in Goshen township, Columbiana Co., Ohio, June 14, 1819; married Sarah Barber, 1843; died May, 1854. Elias H., born in Goshen township, Jan. 6, 1821; married Eliza T. Thomas in 1843, and settled on his father’s place; was killed, by being thrown from a wagon, January, 1850. Josiah W., born in Goshen township, July 8, 1824; died January, 1852. Tacy, their third daughter and youngest child, was born in Smith township, Mahoning Co., Ohio, April 22, 1827; married Milton Coffee, 1852, and now resides in Williams Co., Ohio.

Enos Heacock, the present proprietor of the old homestead, and son of Nathan and Dinah Heacock, was born in Goshen township, Mahoning Co., Ohio, Sept. 5, 1822. When he was three years old his parents removed to the neighboring township of Smith. His opportunities for obtaining book-knowledge were limited; but, growing up in the midst of the forest, he became a great lover of nature. In 1830 the first school was established in his neighborhood, and this he attended. At the age of ten he went to live with a married sister, in Lexington township, Stark Co., Ohio, and while residing there witnessed the remarkable meteoric shower of the fall of 1 833. In 1835 he returned to his father’s house, and thenceforward was a diligent laborer on the farm, in the days when scythe and flail held sway, and before reapers and mowers had won the field. In 1851 he obtained, partly by purchase and partly by bequeathment, a portion of his father’s land, and thus became possessed of the old homestead. In that year the Ohio and Pennsylvania (since merged into the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago) Railroad was opened through his farm. He was married Sept. 30, 1852, to Ann Taylor, daughter of Jacob and Anna Taylor, of Chester Co., Pa. To them were born three children, — Jacob T., Nov. 11, 1854; Addie, June 27, 1860; and Nathan E., Aug. 21, 1866; the former deceased 1864. Addie was married May 1, 1879, to William Tombaugh.

Dinah Heacock, mother of Enos, died from a stroke of palsy, Jan. 29, 1854. His father, Nathan, departed this life in 1866, the 26th day of the sixth month, in the eighty-fourth year of his age.

SANFORD C. HILL Biographical Sketch

For over half a century one of the best known citizens of the county was Sanford C. Hill, who was born near Pughtown, W. Va., on the 20th day of June, 1796. From the time he was old enough he regularly attended school, and obtained an early, liberal education. In 1813, with the consent of his parents, he was employed as a clerk in a Pittsburgh bookstore. In 1818 he looked out a situation in Ohio, and entered into the mercantile business at a public crossroad now within the limits of the town of Wellsville. In 1819 he made a purchase in the town of East Liverpool, and removed his store to that place, being the first dry-goods store opened in the town. Sept. 29, 1820, he was married to Vashti B. Moore, of Pughtown, W.Va. Soon thereafter he sold out his stock of goods, and entered into a business far more congenial to his taste. He procured a complete set of surveying and mathematical instruments, and for more than forty years made I practical surveying his chief business, besides teaching students in the theory and practice of civil engineering. For many years he spent his leisure time in studying astronomy and all the various branches of mathematics. September 6, 1832, his wife died, leaving four children. November 10, 1833, he was again married, to Mrs. Sarah Sansbury, of Achor, Ohio, who died June 25. 1866, also leaving four children.

In local matters in his own neighborhood he long had a controlling voice ; was elected a justice of the peace for over twenty consecutive years, and did more office work as a conveyancer and counselor than, perhaps, any other man in the county. The allotment of the different additions to the town of East Liverpool were nearly all laid out by him.

For forty-two years in succession he made a series of almanac calculations for the various publishers of the country. It was through this instrumentality that his name became a household word, and Sanford C. Hill’s almanacs were to be found in almost every family, especially in the West and South.

He was a frequent contributor of mathematical and astronomical articles to the leading periodicals of the country, and was regarded as high authority upon all subjects of that nature. His talents and acquirements were recognized and acknowledged among men of science.

He died on the 17th day of April, 1871, aged seventyfour years, nine months, and twenty-seven days. His remains are interred in the East Liverpool Cemetery, and the grave is marked by a plain marble monument, bearing the text of the funeral discourse pronounced in his memory in the Presbyterian Church, in which he had long been a ruling elder: “Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace.” [History of Columbiana county, Ohio With Illustrations And Biographical Sketches, Some Of Its Prominent Men And Pioneers., Philadelphia, D.W.

DAVID JOHNSON Biographical Sketch

This gentleman was born in County Down, Ireland, in 1823. When but eight years old he was brought by his father, Mr. James Johnson, to this country. The family started from Belfast, Ireland, and after being at the mercy of the winds and waves for seven weeks landed at Boston, thanking a kind Providence who had protected and brought them safely over the great deep. As soon as Mr. J. Johnson could get his family located he commenced weaving for a livelihood, working at this business for one year. In 1823 he moved to New' Lisbon, Ohio, and worked in the iron manufactory; remained about three years. Moving from there to Knox township, he entered a quarter-section of land and carried on farming until his death, which occurred May 11, 1859. James Johnson’s family consisted of ten children, — five sons and five daughters, — viz.: Sarah, James, Christopher, Samuel, David, Jane, Elisa, William, Nancy, and Margaret, all born in Ireland except the last two. At the age of twenty-one David Johnson left his father and commenced life for himself, choosing the carpenter trade, which he learned and worked at for fifteen years.

In 1845 he married Lydia, daughter of Jacob and Nancy Shaffer. He was the father of eight children, viz.: Margaret J., Nancy A., Eliza E., James, Jacob, Hannah M., Joseph, Clement L. V. Four only are living.

Margaret J. was married to David Weaver; is living in Knox township. Hannah M. was married to Oscar McClain; living in Carroll Co., Ohio. Joseph and Clement are living at home with their parents. David Johnson having spent the early part of his life assisting his father on the farm, learned to like this employment, and while working at his trade his mind often reverted to the pleasures of his early life and caused him to wish for the scenes of other days. This desire grew until he finally decided to return to his first love. No sooner was the decision made than tools were dropped and a suitable location for farming selected. This place was a farm of eighty acres in Knox County, but casting about him he saw what he thought a more desirable spot in Knox township, Columbiana Co.; so he made the trade of his eighty acres for forty acres, giving one hundred dollars in money. After some time had elapsed he found he could sell this farm at a good profit, which he did, and again bought eighty-five acres in the same township. This farm was nearly all timber land, with no improvements. Owing to his untiring energy, the small space then cleared rapidly enlarged until the forest became fertile fields, and he can now enjoy the fruits of his industry. Mr. Johnson has held several offices of trust in his township, all of which he has filled to the satisfaction of the people and with personal credit. He is at this time trustee of Knox township.

Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have been active members of the Presbyterian Church for thirty-six years. In politics he has been a life-long Democrat. He is a good neighbor and a kind friend. The labors of his energetic life have been crowned with success. His strict integrity in all business transactions commands the respect and esteem of all who know him.
