Bull. session of 1278-1880.
SENATORS, 1846 TO 1878.
George W. Bull, of Hanover, session of 1849-1850 ; Joseph Musgrave, of Montgomery, session of r855-1857 ; Thomas J. Kenney, of Mon !- gomery, session of 1859-1861 ; Samuel Glass, of Vermillion, session of 1802-1864; John Cowan, of Mohican, session of 1859-1870; T. M. Beer, session of 13;6-1878.
During this period Ashland and Wayne --- Ashland and Richland, and Ashland, Richland, Lorain, and Medina counties constituted the senstorial district.
THE COURTS.
At the organization of the county, in 1846, Judge Parker, of Mansfield, was president judge of the district.
The governor appointed and commissioned Edmund Ingmand, of Mohican, George H. Stewart, of Hanover, and John P. Reznor, of Montgomery, associate judges.
The court, thus constituted, appointed Daniel W. Brown, of Ruggles, clerk pro tem.
James Hunter, of Montgomery, was appointed deputy clerk, under Mr. Brown.
At the expiration of the time for which Daniel W. Brown was appointed clerk, in 1847, the question of ap- poining a successor arose. The applicants were Jacob O. Jennings, of Mchican, and Daniel W. Brown, of Ruggles. In the contest, it appears that Judge Parker agreed to cast his vote for the candidate for whom a majority of the associate judges should vote. Judges Ingmand and Stewart voted for Jacob O. Jennings, and Reznor for Daniel W. Brown. Judge Parker, therefore, gave his vote for Mr. Jennings, who qualified and entered upon the duties of his office, and continued in the same until the adoption of the constitution, in 1851, when a successor was elected and qualified.
Albert L .. Curtis, of Millersburgh, Holmes county, an experienced clerk, was chosen, by Mr. Jennings, as dep- uty, and he continued in that capacity until 1852.
Soon after this contest Judge Jolin P. Reznor resigned, and Daniel W. Brown was appointed his successor, and, at the expiration of his time, in IS19, John C. Myers, of Clearcreek, was appointed and commissioned associ- ate judge, and successor to Daniel W. Brown. Ingmand, Stewart, and Myers continued in office until the adoption of the constitution of igt.
PROBATE JUDGES.
The constitution of 1851 abolished the office of asso- ciate jedge and substituted therefor the office of probate judge. Prior to that period, the associate judges met at fixed periods for the appointment of administrators, executors'and guardians, and the settlement of estates.
The clerk of the court of common pleas kept a record of their proceedings. The new constitution, in creating a probate court, transferred all administration questions to that court, making the probate judge his own clerk.
The following list exhibits all the probate judges who have served in that court, from its commencement to the date of this volume :
Albert L. Curtis, of Montgomery, 1852 to 1858; John D. Jones, of Mohican, 1858 to 1864; William A. G. Emerson, of Montgomery, 1864 to 1864; Edmund Ingmand, of Mohican, 1864 to 1867: Tully C. Bushnell, of Montgomery, 1867 to 1870; Daniel W. Whitmore, of Milton, 1870 to 1876; John Taylor, of Green, 1876 10 1882.
The election of William A. G. Emerson was con- tested by Edmund Ingmand, and resulted in favor of the contestant. Judge Ingmiand deceased in 1867, and Tully C. Bushnell was elected to fill the vacancy. Col- lins W. Bushnell, of Montgomery, was elected probate judge at the fall election of 1357, but deceased a short time after he had taken his office, and John W. Jones, of Mohican, was appointed to fill the vacancy.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF DR. GEORGE W. HİLİ ..
George William Hill, of Ashland, was born in Marshall county, Virginia, April 22, 1823. His ancestors were Scotch-Irish. His great-grandfather settled in the Shen- andoah valley, Virginia, in about the year 1750. His grandfather, Edward Hill, settled about four miles west of Mt. Pleasant, in -Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, in the year 1794, a region prior to that time claimed as a part of the territory of Virginia, where John Hill, father of George W. Hill, was born in 18or. In the fall of 1822 Jolin Hill located in Marshall county, Virginia, where he married Catharine Grandstaff, of German descent. and where George William Hill, their first child, was born. In 1824 John Hill removed to Richhill township, Mus- kingum county, Ohio, on the head waters of Wills creek, then a wild and sparsely settled region. In 1830, he re- moved to near Brownsville, in Licking county, where he remained until 1834, and then located near Hartford, in the same county, in the midst of the forest of that re- gion, where deer and other game could be seen almost daily ranging through the deep woods, and commenced to prepare a new home. After making some improve- ments upon his faim, he sold it and again located near Newark in 1836, and in September of the same year his wife deceased and was buried in the old cemetery of Newark. John Hill then returned with his children, seven in number, to Richhill, in Muskingum county. In March, 1840, while engaged in business, John Hill died at Providence City, in the Maumee region. In 1842 the administrator of his estate became a bankrupt, and took the benefit of that law, and the children of John Hill were left penniless, owing to the defects of the adminis- tration laws of the State at that time. Without money and in the possession of a few books, having a limited common school education, the subject of this sketch ap- prenticed himself to learn the trade of a tanner, and served about three years, on the principle that overy young man should have a trade or occupation to warrant success in life.
