ALVA AVERILL, deceased. He was born Sept. 1, 1794, in Greenfield, Hillsboro Co., N. H. ; son of David Averill, to whom were born the following ehildren : Asa, Allen, Sallie, Ethan, Jane, Ruth, Fannie, Ira, Alva. Fannie and David were born in New Hampshire ; the others in Kennebec Co., Me., where David re- moved about the year 1800. Alva was a lad of 14 when his father died, and at that time was thrown upon his own resources, and early in life learned to " rough it." Dec. 2, 1818, he was married to Abigail Averill, his cousin, who was born June 13, 1797 ; she was a daughter of Elijah and Mehitable (Bradford) Averill, to whom were born nine children, of whom she is now the sole survivor. Her father was a stone- cutter and an excellent mechauic, and had been a soldier in the war of the Revolution, receiv- ing his pay in continental money. He selected land in Deering, Mass., with a view to purchas- ing it, but before he closed the trade his money became worthless. This disheartened him, and, having endured the hardships and exposure of that trying period, he sickened and died soon afterward. He had four brothers and one sis- ter-Eben, Elijah, David, Moses and Ruth ; all of these served in the war of the Revolution, and were among the number who, at Valley Forge and other places, suffered such extreme hard-

ships, hunger and exposure. Ira was wounded. After the death of her father, she being then a girl of 7 years, was left to shift for herself, and worked about, and also acted as nurse. She remained four yours in the Hutchinson family, of singing fame. She learned to spin and weave, and worked wherever she eould obtain employment, and saw hard times in her en- deavors to maintain herself and assist her mother iu caring for the other children. As stated above, Mr. Averill was married in 1818 ; he purehased 47 acres in Kcnuebec Co. (now Franklin), Me., and remained there until 1834, when he determined to cast in his fortunes with the West ; starting that fall, he came by canal to Rochester, where he spent the winter. He left there April 28, and, with staff in hand, walked out and took up 104 acres (where Je- mima now resides), and, returning as he came, brought out his family in a wagon, reaching here June 12. Six weeks from his arrival, they moved into their log dwelling. Here he re- mained until removed by death, Jan. 23, 1861. He was a man of sound judgment, and a cor- rect business man. In his younger days, he worked at the carpenter's trade, and was nat- urally ingenious, turning his hand cleverly to anything of a mechanical nature. The Averill family have long been Democratic ; his father

cast the first Democratic vote in Temple Town- ship, Me. Alva, however, after the pass- age of the Fugitive Slave Law, voted the Re- publican ticket. His widow, having passed the allotted span of life, still retains her faculties to such an extent as seems to iudicate a fur- ther lease of life. The farm, consisting of 160 acres, is being carried on, and managed very successfully, by her daughter Jemima, who is the only child living.

MRS. OLNEY ALLEN, retired; Medina; was born in Pleasant Valley, Litchfield Co., Conn., May 15, 1808, daughter of Eben Wood- ruff, whose wife's maiden name was Rhoda Coe.

Y .; he was a son of Willard and Polly (Wadsworth) Allen, to whom were born six children, five sons and a daughter. After the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Allen, they went by stage to Albany, thence to Buffalo by canal, then by steamboat to Cleveland ; when he came to this township he had but $200 in money. He was a cooper by trade. Upon his arrival, he purchased land of Edward Starr, for which he paid $8 per acre; three acres of it were cleared, and there was a small log cabin on the place. At this time, there was but one road in the township which led from Medina to Harris- ville, there being but four houses on the route. Mr. Allen was a successful business man, and accumulated a good property, besides 160 acres of land, which Mrs. Allen now owns. He died, Oct. 6, 1880, leaving his wife and one son to mourn his loss. Mr. Allen was a good citizen, an upright man and a kind husband ; he was a Republican and well read in the topics of the day.

WILLIAM AVERILL, farmer ; P. O. Wit- tlesey; was born in Milford, Hillsboro Co., N. H., July 21, 1826, one of a family of seven children, six of whom grew to maturity, viz .: Lucinda, Eben, Elijah, Thomas, William and Andrew; of these, Elijah, William and Lucinda are living. All of the above were born to Eli- jah, Sr., and Amanda (Towne) Averill. The former was born Jan. 24, 1792 ; the latter May 20, 1797. He was a son of Elijah Averill, and

a native of New Hampshire. The Averills are of English descent. The grandfather of Will- iam Averill was a " minute-man " in Revolu- tionary times, and his uncle Shubael was en- gaged in the war of 1812, and was afterward killed in the Florida war by the Indians ; in- deed, all the company were killed except the Lieutenant. In the fall of 1836, Elijah, Sr., walked out with knapsack on his back, to look for a home for himself and family ; coming di- rectly to this county he selected 50 acres and walked back ; he returned with his family same year, being twenty-nine days on the road ; came here and settled on the land William now owns, which was then unimproved ; he built a frame house soon after his arrival, which was the first one built in the neighborhood-the one Will- iam now occupies. Their outfit in coming was a two-horse team and a one-horse rig. One of these horses did the greater part of the logging which was done on the farm in cleaning it up. The first enterprise in the way of farming after their arrival, was the growth and cultivation of hops, which they carried on for about fifteen years, as they cleared the land. Elijah Averill was a man of few words ; very few had as good control of their temper ; he was a man of good mind, and a great reader, and possessed of gen- eral information ; he died in October, 1862 ; his wife survived him eight years; he was highly respected in the community. April 20, 1871, William was married to Cornelia Blanch- ard, who was born in Guilford Township, Sept. 1, 1828, daughter of Ransil and Mary Ann (Gaylord) Blanchard. The former was from near Hartford, Conn., and was born Feb. 23, 1804 ; he came West when of age and stopped at Cuy- ahoga Falls, Ohio, where he was married ; he became foreman for Newberry, and assisted in building the first dam at Cuyahoga Falls ; he was brick-mason by trade; after his removal from Cuyahoga Co., he went to Summit Co .; he next moved into Guilford as early as 1824 or 1826. To him were born ten children, five boys and five girls. The father died Oct. 29, 1880, and the mother Nov. 23, 1861. Lucinda, sis- ter of William, was born Nov. 17, 1814, and resided with her brother. Mr. Averill is one of the few who still reside upon the same piece of land originally settled on by their ancestors ; he is a member of Lodi Lodge, No. 137, A., F. & A. M., also of Medina Chapter R. A. M., No. 30. Mr. Averill has no children.

JOSEPH H. BARRETT, farmer ; P. O. Chippewa Lake; was born Oct. 9, 1829, in Suf- field Township, Portage Co., Ohio. His par- ents were Lewis and Sarah (Snyder) Barrett, to whom were born ten children, who have settled in different States of the Union, four in Califor- nia-James, Sophia (Mrs. John Sharp), Sarah (Mrs. Anson Eldridge), and Ann (Mrs. George Favinger) ; Lewis is now in Macon Co., Mo .; William, in Wadsworth Township ; Elizabeth, deceased, Mrs. Robert Carnes, formerly of St. Joseph Co., Mich .; Emily, Mrs. Jacob Botorf, of same place as above; Joseph H., sixth of the children ; Nelson, who died in the service of his country, being a member of Co. D, 42d O. V. I. The father of our subject was born in Philadelphia Feb. 13, 1794, and was married in Northumberland Co., April 27, 1807. His wife was born in Lancaster, Penn., Aug. 3, 1794. He learned the blacksmith's trade at Philadel- phia, and moved West about 1823, locating in Unionton, Portage Co., Ohio, where he worked at his trade several years, and accumulated some property, which he afterward traded for a farm near Unionton. After clearing up a por- tion of the same, he sold out, and moved to the " White Oak Openings," in Suffield Township, and purchased 118 acres, where Joseph was born. Here he remained until our subject was 9 years of age. He then disposed of his property and moved to Fulton Co., near Maumee; remained here but two years, then moved to Canaan Township, Wayne Co., where he lived until 1847. He then moved to this township, re- maining until his death, which occurred Jan. 28, 1870 ; his wife died April 24, 1877. He was a man of retiring disposition, of firm and de- cided opinions, and few words-a stanch and up- right man, and member of the United Brethren Church, while his wife was of the Methodist faith. The Barretts are of French stock. The grandfather of our subject was a cousin of Gen. La Fayette, and eame over with him and joined the army during the Revolution ; was afterward taken prisoner, and, while confined, it was plotted by some of the British to poison him, which fact was communicated to him by a lady of the prison. A marked attachment sprang up between them, and she planned his escape. When bringing his food, she came dis- guised in man's apparel, having on two suits. One of them, he hastily donned, and passed out, unnoticed, and joined his eommand. After the

war terminated, he hunted her up, and they were married, and settled in Philadelphia. To them, were born five children. Lewis, the father of our subject, was the youngest of the num- ber. At the age of 20, our subject began for himself ; worked out by the month for three years. Dec. 21, 1853, he was married to Mar- garet Palmer, who was born in this township Aug. 6, 1837, the fourth of the children born to Jonathan and Elizabeth (Dickey) Palmer, who came to this county in 1835. After mar- riage, he settled in Milton Township, Wayne Co., for a short time, then moved to Elkhart, Ind., with a view to making it a permanent home; but, on account of ill health, on advice of a physician, he returned to this State, and finally came to this township, in 1856, and has since resided here. Eleven children have been born-Lucy J. (Mrs. James Dundast, of Mont- ville), Art, Alamedora, Ada, Sherman, Clara, Orrie, Ina, Gertrude, Mary, and Mabel (de- ceased). Mr. Barrett and wife are members of the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Barrett's father had three brothers and one sister. One, Caleb, was for twenty years a County Treasurer.

ISAAC BLAIR, retired farmer; P. O. Chatham; is one of the early settlers of this township, and was born Feb. 4, 1805, in Madison Township, Madison Co., N. Y. His parents, David and Eunice Blair, were natives of Massachusetts, and had a family of six chil- dren, three of each sex, Isaac being the oldest son ; three are now living-Arba, who now resides on the homestead in New York ; Free- man, in Michigan ; and our worthy subject, who was reared to farm work, which he has ever since followed. In starting in life, he had no assistance from his father. He worked out by the month for several years and saved some means, with which he intended to purehase some wild land in the West. Jan. 1, 1829, he was united in marriage to Louisa Phinney, who was born in Oneida Co., N. Y .; daughter of Benjamin Phinney, whose wife was a Yeoman. By this wife, two children were born to Mr. Blair-Hamilton M. and Louisa E .; the former a resident of Cuyahoga Co., this State, and the latter now in Clayton Co., Iowa, the wife of Charles S. Blair. In 1834, Mr. Blair came West to this county, and purchased 70 acres of unimproved land, at $4 per acre. He erected a log cabin on the same, and returned to New York to bring his family out, but, in conse-

JOSEPH BADGER, deceased. The Badger family can, with pride, point to a noble anees- try. Several of them have been distinguished for ability, and held high positions ; some have been active in the defense of their country, some in the cause of education, the administra- tion of justice and the affairs of political life. The Badger family are of English origin, and trace the founder of the family to Giles Badger, who settled in Newbury, Mass., in 1643, twenty- three years after the landing of the Pilgrims. The subject of this sketch was a grandson of Maj. Peaslee Badger, born in Haverhill, Mass., in 1756. He was a son of Gen. Joseph Badger, and brother of Hon.

F. W. BARNHART, farmer ; P. O. Whittle- sey ; was born Aug. 31, 1825, in Butler Co., Penn. ; the youngest of a family of fourteen children born to Philip and Elizabeth (Rice) Barnhart. The father was born in Westmore- land Co., Penn., July 17, 1778, and was a son of Frederick Barnhart, who was born in West- moreland Co. in 1752 ; he was an old Revolu- tionary soldier, and a noted and successful In- dian fighter, shrewd and brave; he was more than a match for the wily antagonist, and many a redskin fell before his unerring rifle. He was a great woodsman, and would often spend days together in the woods alone, hunting. At one time, the Indians made a raid in that locality when he was absent ; his wife, grasping her child in one hand, and the mush-pot iu the other, made her escape ; the men being absent fight- ing Indians at Harrisburg, Peun. Philip Barn- hart was a miller by trade, and was born in Ger- many in 1746, and emigrated to Pennsylvania and settled in Westmoreland Co. in 1764; he afterward moved to Butler Co. after marriage, and was one of the first settlers in that locality. He was also a carpenter and millwright; he

laid out the town of Millerstown, and gave it its name, naming the post office, Mills. Frederick Rice, the grandfather of our subject, was a mill- er, and owned a stone mill. He finally moved from Westmoreland Co., and bought two sec- tions of land from the Government, locating at Meadville, Peun. ; afterward he disposed of his land and moved to Wayne Co., where he bought two sections. The Infirmary now stands on a portion of that purchase. His sons were Bar- ney, Simon, Christian and Peter. Barney set- tled on the part of the land the Infirmary now stands on, and Simon on the other portion ; Christian settled in Pittsburgh ; Peter in Spen- cer Township, this county. Frederick Riee, the old veteran and time-honored soldier, died in February, 1848, and was buried at Wooster with the honors of war. The mother of our subjeet was born in 1783, and was married in 1800 ; she died in March, 1852 ; her husband, Philip, June 24, 1860. Of their family there grew up, eleven children, five sons and six daughters. Philip Barnhart was a miller, aud laid out the town of Millersburg, in Donegal Township, and owned and ran a mill at that place as early as 1830. Our subject early in life learned the mill- er's trade. He came West in 1849 ; since his advent to this country he has had an eventful and varied eareer. Soon after coming, he en-

gaged in the dry goods business for two years ; subsequently, bought an interest in a saw-mill in Lorain Co., which burned down two weeks later, without insurance. He was engaged in running a mill in this township for a while, selling out to J. Simmons ; from there he went to Cedar Valley, Wayne Co., where he ran a mill a short time ; he then went to Wooster, where he built a mill of 200-barrel eapacity, which was destroyed by fire. In 1866, he went to Brooklyn, N. Y., and there superintended a large merchant mill at that place for ten years ; he being one of the best millers of his time ; his services have always been in great demand, and at the highest salary. Returning to this county, he, in 1876, begau farmiug, in which he has siuce beeu engaged. His farm, situated one mile east of the Center, consisting of 236 acres of rich alluvial, bottom-land, once worthless, but, which by the energy of Mr. Gooding, who forced a ditch through it, has become the most valuable land in the township. Oct. 18, 1853, Mr. Barnhart was married to Clarissa Gooding, born Jau. 28, 1834, daughter of William R. and

During the fall of 1880, Mr. Barnhart met with a serious accident, breaking his hip, which now places him in a very critical condition.

ALFRED BOWMAN, farmer ; P. O. Whit- tlesey. The Bowman family has been identified with the interests of the county, for upward of one-half a century. The family is descended from Christopher, who was a native of Ger- many, born about the year 1783, and father of fourteen children, eight sons and six daughters, who were John, Christopher, Daniel, Peter, Adam, Jacob, William and Josiah ; the daugh- ters were Betsey, Susannah, Sarah, Mary, Cath- arine and Savina.
