PETER EICK, a
prominent farmer of Monroe Township, Carroll County, was born in Huntingdon
County, N. J., July 6, 1820. His father, also named Peter, was
born in the same county, Sept. 6, 1791, and was a son of Peter
Eick, who was born in Germany and in an early day immigrated to the
United States, settling in New Jersey, where he married Margaret Hopler.
To this union were born Anthony, Elizabeth, John, Jacob, Peter, William,
Catherine A., Julia A., Lany and Mary. Peter Eick, the
father of our subject, grew to manhood on the farm in New Jersey, and July
30, 1817, married Miss Elizabeth Jennings, who was born in New Jersey
in 1799, a daughter of Peter Jennings. This union was blessed
with seven children, named as follows: John, who resides in
Harrison Township, Carroll County; Philip, in Tuscarawas County,
Ohio; Peter, our subject; Elizabeth Dilly, in Tuscarawas
County, Ohio; Mary, deceased; Sarah Beamer, in Harrison
Township, Carroll Co., Ohio, and Lany, who resides in Carrollton,
Ohio. In 1821 Mr. Eick came to Ohio and purchased the farm now
owned by our subject, of which there had been a few acres cleared, and a
small cabin erected thereon. Mr. Eick resided on this land till
the marriage of our subject, when he purchased a farm near Sherrodsville,
where he resided till the death of his wife, which occurred Aug. 25, 1880;
he then resided with our subject till his own death Dec. 17, 1882.
Mr. Eick came from New Jersey with a team and wagon, all the property he
had, and would have returned to New Jersey, but his money was gone, and he
was obliged to remain; yet, at his death, he owned 220 acres of choice land.
Mr. and Mrs. Eick were members of the Presbyterian Church for over
forty years. Politically, he was a Whig till 1855, but from that date
to his death was a Republican; served several terms as trustee of his
township.
Peter Eick, our subject, grew to manhood on the
farm where he now resides and was educated at the common schools. On
Oct. 31, 1849, he married Miss Esther E. Barrick, who was born in
Monroe Township, Carroll Co., Ohio, Aug. 7, 1831, a daughter of George
and Mary (Maughiman) Barrick. By this union there were ten
children, viz.: John, born Sept. 13, 1850, deceased; Henry,
born Oct. 10, 1853, resides in Monroe Township; Milo, born Mar. 8,
1855, deceased; Philip M., born Sept. 3, 1858, deceased; Alice A.,
born Feb. 27, 1862, deceased; Eli B., born Sept. 22, 1864, resides in
Monroe Township; Jacob, born Feb. 11, 1867, died in infancy;

1872, also at home. Mr. Eick has lived where he now resides
since he came to Ohio, and has been identified as one of the leading men of
his township. Politically, he is a Republican, and he and wife are
members of the Lutheran Church.
