EDWARD NEWCOM, farmer, Dayton. This gentleman eomes of Irish an- eestry, his father, Edward, having been born in the " Seagirt Isle" in 1769. He made three trips across the Atlantie, and desiring to live in a land where the bated English flag of oppression eould no longer be flaunted in tyranny, he finally eoneluded to seek an asylum in this land of freemen and settled in Montgomery County, Ohio. He was here married about 1810 to Elizabeth Grimes, a native of Rockbridge County, Va., who came to this county with her family in 1805, and soon after marriage Mr. New- com purchased 160 aeres of land in Van Buren Township from a Mr. Huston, who had previously entered it, and here they toiled, elearing up the farm and making a home for their inereasiug family. They reared ten children, viz. : George, William, Edward, Charles D., Matthew, Mary Ann, Samuel G., Robert, Franklin and Eliza Jane, all except one lived to have a family, and five are still living. Edward Newcom, Sr., was a brother of Col. George Neweom, the first Sheriff of Montgomery County, Ohio, but he never aspired to office, choosing rather to live quietly on his farm free from the eares of publie life. He died January 14, 1839, and his wife August 17, 1842. The subject of this sketeh was born on the homestead in Van Buren Township, April 25, 1814; grew up on the farm, following the duties thereof until his eighteenth year, when he began work in a distillery, which he continued seven years, and during this period never tasted whisky. Upou the death of his father, he returned to the old home for the purpose of taking charge of the farm and family, his elder brothers having began in life for themselves, and he kept the children together until all grew to maturity ; finally purchasing the interest of the balanee he became sole owner of the old home. He was married June 22, 1846, to Miss Cynthia Irvin, daughter of Moses I. Irvin, who was born August 28, 1821, and who has borne him seven ehildren-George G. (deceased ), Irene D., Caroline, Lucy Bell, Rachel, Luella (deceased), Edward, Frank- lin and Marietta.

ing disposition, who attends closely to his own business, leaving others to follow his ex- ample. In his home he has ever been kind and hospitable to friend or stranger alike, and his family have in him a prudent, kind and provident protector, who has 'always watched over them with loving care. In his business intercourse with his neighbors, his actions have been characterized by strict integrity and upright dealing, demonstrat- ing that success was reached through the channels of industry, honesty and justice.

[NOTE. ]-Since the above was written, Mr. Newcom died, his death occurring suddenly, March 23, 1882.

FLEMING RICE, farmer, P. O. Dayton. His father, James Rice, was a native of Maryland, born October 5, 1786, and raised a farmer. He was united in marriage June 21, 1821, with Rebecca Drill. She was born in the above-named State March 5, 1797. They came to Ohio in 1826, and settled in Ross County, where they remained five or six years and then moved to Montgomery County, north of Dayton. In about 1838, they moved to Van Buren Township and rented one of the Compton farms on the Cincin- nati pike.

Fleming, the eldest was born in Maryland September 26, 1822. He assisted his father in the labors of the farm until the time of his death ; when he took charge of affairs, kept the children together and provided for them. He remained on the farm about nineteen years. In the fall of 1858, he purchased a farm of 228 acres of land adjoining the one on which he lived.

His father died in 1852 and his mother the following year. They were of English descent, but very little of their history can be obtained except, that their ancestors came over in the Mayflower. After the death of his parents, Alexander C. lived with Judge Wade, of Butler County, and received such au education as could be obtained in the common school. In May of 1864, he enlisted in Company K, of One Hundred and Sixty- seventh Regiment Ohio National Guard, served his time, and then enlisted in Com- pany C of One Hundred and Ninety-fourth Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry.

WILLIAM H. SNYDER, miller, P. O. Dayton, is a son of Peter Snyder, who was born in Maryland June 25, 1805, and came to Ohio in about 1826. He was a distiller by trade, and for several years ran a eopper still for John Compton, south of Dayton. In 1831, he built a flouring-mill on the canal at Lock No. 1, and some- time after he erected a distillery, a short distance east of the mill, where he lived. He quit distilling in 1850, but having added a saw-mill to his grist-mill, he continued to operate them, and also established a flour and feed store in Dayton, on Fifth street, be- tween Jefferson and St. Clair. For a number of years, he was an officer of the town- ship, serving as Trustee and Justiee of the Peace.

MISCELLANEOUS.

JACOB ROHRER, farmer and capitalist, P. O Tippecanoe City, Miami County. Our subject is honored by having resided a number of years in Montgomery county, and feels the importance of being remembered in her history, as many of the name will hereafter wish to know of their ancestry. Although a resident of Miami County, Mr. Rohrer has a love for the old home that a lapse of years fails to diminishi, and we cheerfully accord him a place, to which he is entitled, among those of his relatives who are repre- sented in this work. He was born in Lancaster County, Penn., in 1815, and his father, Christian, and also his father, Christian, were born on the same farm. This land was deeded by one of William Penn's agents to a member of the earlier Rohrer families, and has been in their possession for more than one and a half centuries, their ownership ending in November, IS78, when the death of the last surviving brother occurred, at the age of eighty-six. The father of Jacob, Christian Rohrer, was wedded to Maria Farrar ; they reared a family of nine children. The parents lived to a ripe old age. Jacob came to Ohio in May, 1835, and located near Dayton, where he remained seven years. June 23, 1837, he purchased a farm, near Tippecanoe City, of Joseph Jones, who had entered the land. December 25, 1838, he married Elizabeth Kendig, of Lan- caster County, Penn. One son and two daughters have been the issue of this union. They removed to their Miami County farm March 1, 1842, and he has ever since been one of the most enterprising men of that county. Besides dealing largely in stock, he has helped forward the manufacturing interests of his town more largely, perhaps, than any one man in the neighborhood, not only by his liberal expenditures of capital, but also lending his personal assistance. As a financier, he has been remarkably successful, and is a man renowned every where for his honor and correct dealing with men. Out- side of landed estate, he owns a controlling interest in the " Wheel Works " of Tippe- canoe; has an interest in the Grape Sugar Co. of the same place ; also of the " Troy Wagon and Wheel Works," and the "Spiker Wagon Works " at Piqua. Formerly an Old-Line Whig, he became identified with the Republican party at its organization, and has ardently supported it since. In 1858, he was elected County Commissioner, and subsequently re-elected, serving six years. He has also filled his third term as Land Appraiser of Monroe Township; was a Director in the Troy Bank for fifteen years, and for four or five years was its Vice President. He is a Director in the Firemen's Insur- ance Co. of Dayton, Ohio, and a Trustee of the " Knoop's Children's Home," of Eliz- abeth Township, Miami County. All these responsible positions have been filled with credit to himself and satisfaction to the public. He has settled more estates than any other man in Miami County, and has ever shown himself honest and efficient in every business transaction.
