If any one characteristic of his should be emphasized, it was his loyalty and patriotism. Three of his sons went into the federal army, and his youngest son would have gone had not his defective eyesight pre- vented. He would have gone himself had not his age and infirmities pre- vented. As it was, he was an ardent friend of the Union, and gave its cause all the support possible for his circumstances and condition. His wife survived him until 1873. He and she lie side by side in the Mt. Leigh Cemetery. Of him it may be said that no more loyal heart ever beat in human breast, and he transmitted these qualities to his descendants, as the pages of this work will abundantly testify.

HISTORY OF ADAMS COUNTY
James Henry McCoy,
farmer was born in Bratton Township, May 17, 1860. His father, William McCoy, was a soldier of the Civil War. He enlisted in Co. B, 175th O. V. I., on August 23, 1864, at the age of thirty-four years, and was mustered out of the service June 27, 1865. He was a native of Pike County. His wife, Elizabeth A. Hamilton, mother of our subject, was a daughter of Henry Hamilton. Our subject's grandfather, James McCoy, was from the Green Isle, beyond the seas.
William A. McCoy married Susannah Jones, from Pike County ; and moved to Sinking Springs, Highland County, in the fall of 1860. Our subject lived in Sinking Springs until 1871, when he moved onto the farm where he now resides. His mother died January 16, 1898. He was the eldest of three children. His brother, George G. McCoy, re- sides at Bainbridge, in Ross County. He married Ruth A. Summers, daughter of Daniel Summers, of Locust Grove. His sister Anna mar- ried William W. Dunbar, who died September 4, 1895. She resides with and makes a home for her brother, our subject, who is unmarried. He is a Democrat in his political views, and a very strong one at that.
He is outspoken in all his views, political or otherwise. He is a Master of the Peebles Masonic Lodge, No. 581 ; and is also a member of the Knights of Pythias Lodge, No. 203, at Peebles. He has a com- mon school education, but never taught. He was elected a Justice of the Peace of Franklin Township, in 1807, and re-elected in 1900. He is one of those forceful young men who believe in candor; and whose views are an open book ; and who are not deterred by policy or caution from expressing their well-considered thoughts. He is a man of fine physique and physical presence, which at once impress those who meet him. If he lives and has health, he will be heard from further on.
William Wallace Little
was born December 13, 1825, in Lewis County, Kentucky, opposite the . village of Manchester, in Adams County, O .: but during his childhood, boyhood and young manhood, his home was in Manchester. His father, James Little, one of the pioneers of Adams County, Ohio, was born De- cember 4, 1793, near Johnstown, Pennsylvania ; and he was married to Miss Charlotte Davis, January 10, 1825. There were thirteen children of this marriage, of whom our subject was the eldest. His grandfather, Thomas Little, was a native of Ireland. He came to this country in 1774 or 1775. He was a Revolutionary soldier. He enlisted on December 22, 1777. in Captain Fauntleroy's troop, Fourth Regiment of Dra- goons, commanded by Col. Stephen Moylan, to serve during the war. His regiment was from New Jersey. His wife, who had been Miss Mary Neiper, came from County Antrim, Ireland. in 1768 or 1769, in the ship "Prosperity." Her parents settled first in Lancaster County, Pennsyl- vania, and afterwards moved to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
She and her husband came to Manchester, Ohio, in 1803 where both died and are buried. They had eight children. Their son James re- sided in Manchester until his death, August 11, 1887, at the age of ninety- four years. He was a soldier in the War of 1812, and was pensioned for his services therein. Our subject's great-grandfather, John Little. was born and lived in Ireland in County Tyrone, four miles from Market

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES
Hill. He was a farmer. His wife's name was Mary McCully. His son Thomas was the only child of a numerous family who came to the United States.
The education of William W. Little, our subject, though meagre, was obtained at Manchester, Ohio. His childhood, boyhood, and youth were filled with hardships, but he took them good-naturedly and cheer- fully, trying to make the best of every condition he was compelled to meet. He went on the river at an early age, and by his energy and sheer force of character soon rose to the position of mate. He served as a boy on Cincinnati, New Orleans, and Memphis packets from deck sweep up. He was on the steamboats United States, two or more of the Sciotos, and the Boston. He was also a pilot and master ; and was known everywhere as Captain Little, the usual title given to steamboat masters. He knew every man connected with the river trade from Portsmouth to Cincinnati, and had an extensive acquaintance on the Southern rivers. He made Portsmouth his home from 1855 to 1882.
On January 29, 1854, he was married to Miss Mary A. J. Timmonds, who was born April 27, 1827, and who died October 20, 1855. Her twin daughters died in infancy. Mr. Little was married a second time to Miss Harriet A. Timmonds, sister of his first wife, who resides at the family homestead with her only surviving child, Miss Mary J. Both of Mr. Little's wives were granddaughters of Richard Woodworth, a soldier of the Revolutionary War, who enlisted in February, 1777, in Captain William Gray's Company, of Col. William Butler's regiment, Pennsylvania, and served four years. He was in the battles of Brandy- wine, Germantown, and Monmouth, and was pensioned May 9, 1818.
Mr. Little and his second wife have had seven children. Their eldest son, William H., born in 1857, died in 1888, leaving a wife and child. Their sons Carey E., aged eighteen, and Frank C., aged sixteen, both died of that fell disease consumption. The others died in infancy.
Mr. Little went into the coal business in Portsmouth Ohio, in 1858, and continued in it until 1879. He was first alone and then in partner- ship with James Hamilton, as Little & Hamilton, in 1862. From that time he continued the business alone until 1866, when he formed a part- nership with E. N. Hope, the firm being known as W. W. Little & Com- pany. In advertising this business in 1865, he adopted the motto of Capt. William McLain, "We have come to stay," and placed it at the head of his advertisement and kept it there. While engaged in the coal business, he also had other activities. He owned the steamboats Pike, Boskirk, Viola, Gaylord, Brilliant Eldorado and not fewer than three ferry boats : and he commanded all of them at times, as he always had master's papers. He operated the ferry between Portsmouth, Ohio, and Springville, Kentucky, for many years. He built the River City Ferry Boat in 1874, and ran her until September 28, 1881, when he sold the ferry to Capt. Samuel Brown for a farm of two hundred acres at Little, in Greenup County, Kentucky, to which he removed in 1882. spending the remainder of his life as a farmer. During the Morgan raid in 1863 he commanded a fleet of boats in the Ohio River, and thereby acquired the title of "Commodore."
Mr. Little always resided in the second ward during his life in Ports- mouth. He became a Councilman from that ward in 1867, and served as

such during most of the time thereafter until he removed to Kentucky. He was president of the City Council of Portsmouth from 1870 to 1874, and in 1877 and 1878. He was president pro tem, in 1876. Mr. Little was a most enthusiastic Republican, and a power in city politics. He knew the second ward thoroughly, and he could always carry it when- ever he undertook to do so. It was never any trouble to induce him to do political work.
He was a director of the Farmers' National Bank for several years in its early history, and always took a prominent part in every public measure for the advancement of the city. He took a leading part in in- troducing the Holly waterworks into the city of Portsmouth. He was a member of Rev. E. P. Pratt's church in Portsmouth, and lived up to his professions as closely as any one could who had been a steamboat- man.
.-
Mr. Little went through not only many family afflictions, but several financial disasters, but he never lost courage or hope. He always re- tained his good spirits and his energy. From 1866 to 1882, he resided on the northeast corner of Front and Court Streets, Portsmouth, Ohio, in what has since been known as the Morton Club property, where he was known to all. As a public spirited citizen, he was a model,-always ready to do his part and more, too: and was always ready and willing to help every good cause. When he became a farmer, which every stean:boatman has an ambition to be, he kept his interest in public affairs as before. He died July 18, 1897, and is interred in Greenlawn Ceme- tery, in Portsmouth. When called in judgment on the last day he will cheerfully face his record, and will have nothing to explain or apologize for. He did the best he could every day of his life, and who can do more?
Albion Z. Blair.
On pages 226 and 227 of this work, we have given a sketch of the above named gentleman as a member of the bar of Adams County. In that sketch we mentioned Mr. Blair as a power in the Democratic party. Since that sketch was completed and laid aside, about September 1, 1900, Mr. Blair changed his party relations, and has become an active Republican, making many public speeches favoring the re-election of President Mc- Kinley. It is due to Mr. Blair that he should go down to posterity as of the political faith he professed when this book was closed. Therefore we have noted the change of political faith made by him, and give him credit for honesty of purpose in the change. Mr. Blair will always be found where his honest convictions take him, and will be a power to any organiza- tion to which he attaches himself. We bid him godspeed in his new de- parture, as we would had the case been reversed.
The Naming of the West Union Scion.
In February, 1853, Samuel Burwell, the aged publisher of the Scion, was then a young man just starting in life. Mr. Evans, one of the edi- tors of this work, remembers Mr. Burwell's coming to the Evans home to ask about the propriety of starting a newspaper, and a name for it. Mr. Edward P. Evans, the father of the editor of this work, advised him to start the newspaper, and suggested the name of "The Scion of Tem-

perance," which was adopted, as it was determined at the time to start it as a temperance paper. The writer was eleven years old at the time, and was present at the conference when the launching of the Scion was determined upon. He remembers what was said at the conference as distinctly as though it had occurred but yesterday.
West Union Intelligencer.
The publication of this weekly was begun in 1841 by Stephen P. Drake. He continued its publication until the summer of 1845, when he sold out to Robert Jackman, who continued it until his death in August, 1851. During Mr. Jackman's ownership, the paper was sus- pended for a few months in the year 1849; and when he resumed its pub- lication, the name was changed to The People's Intelligencer, and it was continued under that name during its existence in West Union. After Mr. Jackman's death in 1851 (see page 378 of this book), Henry B. Woodrow, now living at 421 West Seventh Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, con- tinued the publication of the newspaper for Mr. Jackman's widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Jackman, until February, 1852, when he purchased the plant and took it to Manchester and continued its publication there about two years.
The paper was Whig in politics during its entire existence. At the time Mr. Drake began the publication of the Intelligencer, West Union had been without a newspaper for a number of years, the Free Press being the last. When Mr. Drake sold out in West Union, he went to Ports- mouth, Ohio, and started a paper called the Portsmouth Clipper, which he published several years. He was afterwards engaged in the newspaper business in Ironton. During the Civil War, he was a member of the Second West Virginia Cavalry, and died in the army. He was a brother of the late Samuel P. Drake, of Portsmouth.
