JOSEPH M. McCULLOUGH.
On the excellent farm of 112 acres which is his present place of residence in
Archer Township, Harrison County, Joseph M. McCullough was born May 12,
1852, and the fine old homestead has been the state of his productive activities
from his youth to the present time. He is the son of John and Jane
(Welsh) McCullough, both likewise natives of Archer Township, where the
former was born the 5th of October, 1822, and the latter on the 6th of May, 1827
- dates that show that the respective families were founded in this county in
the early pioneer days. The mother of Joseph M. McCullough was a
daughter of John and Jane (McClellan( Welsh, both natives of Ireland.
John Welsh, a son of Samuel Welsh, was ten years of age when his
parents came to America, and within a short time after their arrival in this
country they established their home on a pioneer farm in Harrison County, where
the father reclaimed his land from the forest wilds and where he and his wife
passed the remainder of their lives, as sterling pioneer citizens of Archer
Township. John Welsh was reared under the conditions that marked
the early stages of development in this county and became a prosperous farmer in
Archer Township, where he and his wife remained until their deaths, both having
been members of the Presbyterian Church. Their children were ten in
number: Samuel, John, Matthew, James, David, William, Mary, Elizabeth,
Anna and Jane.
John McCullough was a son of Joseph McCullough,
who came to Harrison Countyh when this section of Ohio was little more than a
forest wilderness, and he settled on the land which constitutes the present well
improved farm of his grandson, Joseph M., of this review, the farm having
remained continuously in the possession of the family since the early pioneer
era. The name of the first wife of Joseph McCullough was Hanna,
and they became the parents of seven children: John, James B.
(became a physician), Elizabeth, Sarah Jane, Mary, Esther and Isabel.
The religious faith of the family was that of the Presbyterian Church, and the
lineage traces back to staunch Scotch-Irish origin.
On the ancestral farm which was the place of his birth
John McCullough passed his entire life and in his character and worthy
achievement he well upheld the high honors of the family name. Both he and
his wife were well advanced in years at the time of their deaths and both were
earnest members of the Presbyterian Church. They became the parents of
four children, Elizabeth ( Mrs. Thomas B. Copeland ), Amanda J. ( Mrs.
Andrew J. Palmer ) and John W. (died in childhood).
Joseph M. McCullough, the only surviving male
representative of his generation of the family, gained his early education in
the district schools of Archer Township and eventually became the owner of the
old homestead farm, with the activities of which he has been associated from his
youth. He is known as a farmer of resourcefulness and enterprise, and has
been successful as a representative of agricultural and live-stock industry in
his native county. His political allegiance is given to the republican
party, and he and his wife hold membership in the neighborhood Methodist
Episcopal Church known as Bethel chapel.
The 30th of November, 1876, recorded the marriage of
Mr. McCullough to Miss Elizabeth Birney, who was born and reared in
Green Township and who is a daughter of the late Asbury and Eleanor
(McCullough) Birney. Mr. and Mrs. McCullough became the parents of
five children: Eleanor is the wife of Charles McKee, a
prosperous farmer in Archer Township, and they have four children, Joseph
Ross, William Birney, Mary Elizabeth and Anna Martha. Mary is
the wife of T. S. Birney, of Washington Township. John, a
farmer in Archer Township, married Miss Clara Ora Heavilin, and they have
three children. Chester H. Joseph Dwaine and Vula Elizabeth.
Alice died at the age of four years, and Lela O. remains at the
parental home.

JAMES A. McLAUGHLIN.
The late James A. McLaughlin, of Short Creek Township, was for thirteen
years one of the successful farmers and live-stock men of his community, and his
name is held in the highest esteem in Harrison County, while his own career and
the history of his family lend distinction to the pioneer annals of this section
of Ohio.
Mr. McLaughlin was born at Adena, Jefferson
County, Ohio, Nov. 24, 1849, son of William J. Elizabeth (Berry) McLaughlin.
His father was born at the old McLaughlin homestead near Adena in Jefferson
County March 3, 1812. His mother was born near Venice in Jefferson County,
Pennsylvania, July 15, 1815, Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, July 15, 1815. They
were married Oct. 20, 1840. The parents of Elizabeth Berry were
William and Jane (McConnell) Berry. Her father was born and
reared in Washington County, where he learned the carpenter's trade in youth,
later became a successful operator of a flour mill at Venice, and owned and
developed a good farm in that locality, where he spent his entire life. He
served more than thirty years in office as justice of the peace. He and
his wife were zealous members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he
served as an elder for many years. Their children were named John,
Mary, Elizabeth, William, Matthew, Prudence and James.
John McLaughlin, founder of the family of that name
in southeastern Ohio, was born in Cecil Township, Washington County,
Pennsylvania, and married there Miss Anna Johnson. In 1801 he
became one of the earliest settlers in Smithfield Township, Jefferson County,
where he and his wife endured the circumstances of the frontier while he was
reclaiming a farm from the forest wilds. He was an honored and influential
citizen of he county and for seventeen years was a member of the Lower House of
the Legislature, having a record of sixteen consecutive years in that office.
He impressed his ability upon the legislative record of the period and was the
first to suggest and urge the establishment of a state asylum for the deaf and
dumb. He and his wife were revered pioneers of this county. They
were United Presbyterians. Their family of children were Eliza, Polly,
Nancy, Peggie, Anna, William J., John, James M., Jane, Catherine and
Samuel R. Samuel R. was distinguished by a brilliant intellect, being
only twelve years old when he gained admission to Franklin College at New
Athens.
William J. McLaughlin was reared and educated in
Smithfield Township, Jefferson County. Virtually his entire active career
was devoted to farming, with a high degree of success and accompanied with the
responsibilities of an influential citizen. He was a republican, and he
and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian Church. His death
occurred in January, 1894, while his wife passed away Dec. 28, 1898. The
names and respective birth dates of their children were: John M., Jan. 8,
1843; Jane, Dec. 25, 1845; William G., Apr. 25, 1847; James A.,
Nov. 24, 1849; Samuel, Mar. 24, 1854; and Martha, Oct. 8, 1856.
The late James A. McLaughlin during his
youth acquired a fortifying experience in connection with the work of the old
home farm, and at the same time profited by the advantages of the district
schools. In his native township as a young man he commenced farming for
himself, and during the long intervening years gave unwearying industry and
allegiance to the production of crops and live-stock, with a degree of success
merited by his labors and good judgment. The scene of his farming
enterprise continued in Jefferson County until 1907, in which year he removed to
short Creek Township and for the next six years was engaged in partnership with
his sons William W. and Wilmer M. in farming and live-stock operations.
In 1913 he and his son Wilmer M. became partners in the operation of the
old Ladd farm and he so continued until his death on Feb. 14, 1920.
During his time the partnership became notable for the successful breeding of
registered Jersey cattle.
Mr. McLaughlin was a republican, though he never
sought or held public office. He and his family were United Presbyterians
and at teh time of his death he was an elder in the Harrisville United
Presbyterian Church.
Feb. 2, 1874, Mr. McLaughlin married Miss
Sarah A. Barkhurst. she was also born and reared in Jefferson County.
Her father, William Barkhurst, was of pioneer stock. Mr.
McLaughlin was bereaved of his devoted companion of more than thirty years
on Feb. 22, 1906. The memory of her kindly personality is deeply cherished
in Jefferson County and by her children and grandchildren in Harrison County.
Of the children of Mr. and Mrs. James A. McLaughlin, Ella May, born Feb.
29, 18 is the wife of George T. Davis and has three children, named
James Howells, Sarah Catherine and Martha. Mary E., who was
born Jan. 10, 1879,, is the wife of Rev. Herbert Haldy, a clergyman of
the Society of Friends. They have two children, Helen Avien and
Josephine A. The sons of William Wilson and Wilmer M.
are accorded special mention in these pages. Jennie B., who was
born May 1, 1886, died Jul. 3, 1891. Russell H., the youngest, was
born Nov. 16, 1888, married Miss May Rogers and has two children, John
Howard and Martha Marie.

SAMUEL K. McLAUGHLIN was for many years actively identified with agricultural
enterprise and the raising of live stock in Harrison County, where he improved
one of the finest farms in Short Creek Township. He remained on this model
rural estates until 1899, when he removed to Cadiz, where he now holds
precedence as one of the buyers and shippers of wool in this section of
his native state, the family name having been identified with Ohio history for
more than a century.
John McLaughlin, grandfather of him whose name
introduces this review, came to Ohio in 1801, and in the following year he
established the family home in Jefferson County. He had previously gained
more than a usual amount of frontier experience, as he had served the Government
as an Indian spy through the wild country between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and
Wheeling, West Virginia. He purchased a tract of heavily timbered land in
the midst of the forest wilds of Jefferson County, and their instituted the
reclamation and development of a pioneer farm, the land having been originally
secured by his brother-in-aw, John Johnson, at the rate of twelve and
one-half cents an acre. Of this resourceful pioneer an interesting record
has been previously published, and from the same is reproduced the following
data, which is well worthy of perpetuation: "John McLaughlin was a man of
more than ordinary attainments for those days, and soon after coming to Ohio he
was elected a member of its Legislature, in which he served five years as a
member of the House of Representatives. He was then elected to the State
Senate, in which he served twelve years. In the Senate he was intimately
associated with Gen. William Henry Harrison, John C. Wright and Charles
Hammond. The sessions were first held at Zanesville, later at Chillicothe
and finally at Columbus, which was made the permanent capital of the
commonwealth. Mr. McLaughlin was a member of the 'call session' of
the Legislature in 1832 to settle the dispute relative to the boundary line
between Ohio and Michigan. He was the founder of Adena, Jefferson County,
securing the postoffice for that place and giving the village its name. At
the time of his death he was an elder in the United Presbyterian Church and a
member of the session of Piney Fork. He was for many years a justice of
the peace, and, beyond all doubt, was during his active career the most
prominent and influential man in his district. He was born in Washington
County, Pennsylvania, Nov. 4, 1774, and died Nov. 10, 1860, in his
eighty-seventh year. About 1799 he married Miss Annie Johnson, who
died June 6, 1849. Their children were thirteen in number."
James McLaughlin, son of John and father
of Samuel K. of this review, was born on the pioneer homestead near Adena,
Jefferson County, and was the second son in the large family of four children,
of whom four sons and five daughters attained to years of maturity.
Educational advantages in his youth were limited in this section of Ohio, but by
self-application he became a man of broad information and mature judgments.
He was a staunch abolitionist in the climacteric period leading up to the Civil
war and united with the republican party at the time of its organization, his
previous alignment having been with the whig party. He and is wife were
zealous members of the United Presbyterian Church at Piney Fork, and on one
occasion he represented his church as a delegate to the General Assembly of the
denomination in the City of Philadelphia. He served long and effectively
as an elder of the church, was a leader in movements tending to advance the
material and civic welfare of the community and was specially influential in
developing an effective public-school system at Adena. He married Miss
Sarah J. Kerr, who was born and reared in Harrison County, the eldest
daughter of Samuel and Annie (Smith) Kerr, and of the nine children of
this union one died in infancy; William B. was a resident of Adena,
Jefferson County, at the time of his death; Ann E. became the wife of
Lewis Bernhard, of Harrison County; Mary E. married William
Courtright, of Harrison County; Nancy J. became the wife of Joseph
C. McNary, of Unionport, Jefferson County; Samuel K., immediate
subject of this sketch, was the next in order of birth; Sarah M. married
Rev. Hugh W. Parks, of Harrison County; Joseph S., of Adena, Ohio,
is now deceased; Mary Emma married Robert G. Dean, and they
established their home at Omaha, Nebraska. She is now a widow, residing at
Seattle, Washington, and the mother of two sons and two daughters living.
James McLaughlin died Aug. 26, 1865, in his fifty-second year, and his
widow, surviving him by many years, continued to reside at the old home in
Jefferson County until her death, at the venerable age of seventy-two years.
Samuel K. McLaughlin was born at Adena,
Jefferson County, Sept. 12, 1846, and was there reared to adult age. There
he received the advantages of the common schools of the period, and at the age
of eighteen years entered the McNeely Normal College at Hopedale, Harrison
County, where he continued his studies until the death of his father made it
necessary for him to return to the old home and assist his widowed mother in the
management of the farm. While applying himself vigorously to farm work
during the summer seasons be made an admirable record as a successful and
popular teacher in the public schools in the winter season after having passed
the examination which entitled him to a teacher's certificate of the first
class.
May 22, 1872, recorded the marriage of Mr.
McLaughlin to Miss Mary Belle Snider, who was born and reared in
Green Township, Harrison County, a daughter of Samuel and Hannah Snider,
and soon after their marriage the young couple established their home on the old
Hurford homestead in Short Creek Township, Harrison County. In the
following year they removed to Adena, Jefferson County, the old home of Mr.
McLaughlin, who resumed his educational service as a teacher in the village
schools and who also erected in the meanwhile the best residence in the town.
In 1875 returned to Harrison County and established their home on the fine farm
of 230 acres which was to continue as their abiding place for many years.
In 1888 Mr. McLaughlin erected on his farm one of the most commodious and
modern farm houses in Short Creek Township. Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin
were member of the United Presbyterian Church until they took up their residence
in Cadiz, since which time they have been members of the Presbyterian Church.
They became the parents of four children: Charles Johnson, John Orrin,
Hannah Lucretia and Samuel Parks, all of whom are deceased except
Robert Parks, the youngest, who is now Government postoffice inspector at
Waterloo, Iowa. He married Margaret McIlvaine, the daughter of
judge Walter G. Shotwell, of Cadiz. They are the parents of four
daughters, Nancy Shotwell, Margaret McIlvaine, Mary Elizabeth and Ann.
Mr. McLaughlin has never wavered in loyal
allegiance to the republican party and has been influential in its council and
campaign activities in Harrison County. He gave effective service as
trustee of Short Creek Township and later represented Harrison and Carroll
counties in the State Legislature for two terms, with a record that fully
justified his election to this office. Mr. McLaughlin made his farm
one of the best improved and most valuable in Short Creek Township, and he still
owns the property, though he has maintained his home at Cadiz since 1899 and is
here actively and successfully engaged in the buying and shipping of wool, as
one of the leading representatives of this line of business in Harrison County.
A man of genial sincerity and sterling character, his circle of friends is
virtually coincident with that of his acquaintances, and though he has passed
the span of three score years and ten he is still hale and vigorous and takes
satisfaction in his business activities.

HARRY M.
MILLIKEN is one of the progressive agriculturists and
stock-raisers of the younger generation in his native county, where he owns
fifty acres in Cadiz Township, this constituting his homestead place and
eighty-eight acres in the adjoining township of Nottingham. He is a
scion of one of the honored pioneer families of Harrison County, and thus by
ancestry as well as by reason of his individual standing in his native
county he is specially entitled to recognition in this history.
Mr. Milliken was born in Nottingham Township
August 22, 1885. His father, William Milliken, was born in
Cadiz Township in the year 1838, his entire life having been passed in
Harrison County, where he was continuously identified with farm industry, -
in Cadiz and Nottingham Townships. He was the owner of a valuable farm
property of 187 acres at the time of his death, on December 13, 1916, his
wife having passed away in 1889. He was a son of Michael Milliken,
who was born in Green Township, this county, October 25, 1812, whom this
section of the Buckeye State was mainly a forest wilderness. He was a
son of John and Hannah (Karbaugh) Milliken, who were born and reared
in Pennsylvania, where their marriage was solemnized. Mark Milliken
father of John, was a native of England and was a young man when he
came to America and established his home in Pennsylvania. In the old
Keystone state John Milliken learned the shoemaker's trade, and this
he found of much value after he and his young wife became pioneer settlers
in Harrison County, Ohio, where Mr. Milliken first settled on a tract
of wild land in Green Township, whence in 1815 he removed to the farm which
later was owned and occupied by their son Michael. Here John
Milliken died in 1856, at the age of seventy-nine years, his wife having
passed away at the age of sixty years. In 1838 Michael Milliken
was united in marriage to Charity Day, who likewise was born and
reared in Harrison County, and they passed the remainder of their lives on
their old homestead farm in Cadiz Township, Mr. Milliken having
reclaimed much of his land from the native forest. He became the owner
of 248 acres of land, in Cadiz and Nottingham townships, and was one of the
honored and influential men of his community. His political support
was given to the whig part until the organization of the republican party,
when he allied himself loyally with the latter. He and his wife were
venerable in age at the time of their deaths, and of their four children,
William, the eldest, John is deceased; Adeline became the
wife of George Christie, and they established their home in the State
of Iowa; and Hannah Margaret became the wife of Albert Rogers,
a farmer of Cadiz Township.
William Milliken was reared on the home farm and
secured his early education in the common schools of the locality. In
his active career he will maintained the prestige of the family nae through
his loyalty as a citizen and his resourceful and productive activities as an
agriculturist and stock-grower. Following their marriage he and his
wife returned to Notthingham Township, where the wife died September 13,
1887. In 1891 he married Hannan (Hines) Blair, the widow of
Albert Blair, and then came to Cadiz Township where he died. His
widow survives. By his first marriage William Milliken became
the father of three children: Lennie became the wife of Obediah K.
Ourant and she is deceased; Nannie is the widow of Frank
Carson; and Harry M. is the youngest of the children.
Harry M. Milliken is indebted to the public
schools of his native township for his youthful education, and he was
associated with his father in the work and management of the old home farm
until the latter's death, his present farm property being a portion of the
land formerly owned by his father. He gives his attention to well
diversified agriculture and also raises excellent grades of live stock.
He is a republican, but has no desire for political activity or official
preferment. August 18, 1909, recorded his marriage to Miss Florence
Keesey, daughter of John and Mary (Haverfield) Keesey, of
Harrison County, and they have three children - Allen Scott, born May
26, 1910; Neva Elizabeth, born January 25, 1912; and John William,
born February 21, 1915. |
