JACOB MARTIN,
superannuated minister of the Methodist
Episcopal denomination, was born near
Marietta, Washington Co., Ohio, April 3,
1806. His father was Charles H. Martin,
a native of England, who came to America
previous to the Revolutionary war. He
served in the Colonial army, and
subsequently drew a pension for services
rendered. He was a single man, and in
1789 removed to Marietta, Ohio, one year
after its first settlement, and where he
met and afterward married Mary M.
Gayler, a native of Pennsylvania. The
date of their marriage was 1797. Soon
after their union, they located on the
Muskingum River, about six miles above
Marietta, and in 1815, to Licking County,
Ohio, where both passed the remainder of
life. The father was a member of the
Seceder Church in early life, but
subsequently let his thoughts turn to
things of a more worldly nature. He was
again converted through the ministration
of his own son, and joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church in August, 1833, and
died in the full faith of a blissful
immortality, in November, 1838, aged
eighty years. His wife became a member of
the Baptist Church in 1821 or 1822, but
for convenience, joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church in 1848, living in that
faith till her death, December 8, 1860.
She was born March 31, 1777. Jacob
Martin, born 1806, was in his
tenth year when his parents in 1815.
removed to Licking County. His
educational facilities, like those or all
"pioneer boys," were limited,
he receiving only fifteen months'
schooling in all his life (outside of his
theological studies), and that at
scattered intervals, between the ages of
five and twenty years. He remained with
his father until he entered the
university. He first thought of taking
the step when twenty-one years, of age,
and in 1831 joined the Ohio Conference
when twenty-five years of age. He was
first assigned to the Wilmington (Clinton
County) Circuit, and his subsequent
locations are as follows: In 1832 , to
the Tiffin Circuit; in 1833, to Fort
Defiance, and thence to Logan County, W.
Va., one year, his circuit covering 600
miles; thence to Gallipolis; in 1836, to
London Circuit; next to Franklinton
Circuit, one year; Granville Circuit, a
like period. At close of that year,
superannuated on account of failing
health, and removed to Range Township, in
this county, and was there engaged in
farming for fourteen years. He then
returned to the regular ministry again,
and, in 1853,was assigned to the Dublin
Circuit; thence to Groveport two years,
and two years later to Worthington, where
he had formerly bought property; two
years later, was assigned to the
Darbyville Circuit, in Westport, Franklin
County, while family remained at
Worthington; was there one year; thence
to Mount Sterling, this county, and then
to Johnston, Licking Co., two years:
Baltimore, Fairfield Co., one year;
thence, again to Mount Sterling, one
year; Bloomingburg, Fayette Co., one
year; Frankfort, Ross County, two years,
and finally, in 1867, again
superannuated, and purchased his present
property in London, where he has since
resided. Rev. Mr. Martin has been
an able and efficient worker in the
Lord's vineyard, having traveled a great
deal in the State of Michigan, doing
missionary work, and prior to his
entering the regular ministry. In the
latter, he has labored over a period of
twenty-two years, averaging over 3,000
miles traversed each year, and probably a
grand total of 75,000 miles, or three
times the circuit of the globe. He is now
resting from his labors, amid pleasant
surroundings and hosts of admiring
friends. Before long his bark will pass
over the river to the great beyond, and
where a crown of righteousness awaits him
at the last day. Mr. Martin was
married in March, 1836, to Johanna C.
Leonard, a native of the District of
Columbia, now a portion of Fairfax
County, Va. Three sons were sent to bless
this union, two living. The elder, James
D., has been in Washington, D. C, in
a dry goods house, part of the time as
partner. Near the end of the rebellion,
he was sent to Savannah, Ga., as Post
Office Agent; thence to Charleston, S.
C., where he remained in charge some six
months, after which he returned to
Washington. He was then appointed one of
the "Tax Commissioners" of the
South, with headquarters at Beaufort, S.
C. At the end of eighteen months, he
returned to Washington, D. C, where he
still is, in single blessedness. The
younger son, Joseph S., is a farmer and
stock-raiser of Range Township, where he
was born and reared. He married Isabel,
daughter of Benjamin Harrison
(deceased). They have three
children—James F., Benjamin
H. and Joseph S. The youngest
son of Jacob Martin, John
Wayland, died September 23, 1845,
aged fourteen months. Mrs. Martin
is still living, aged seventy-three
years. Like her husband, she has also
been a faithful worker, and with her
husband, will enjoy the Gospel sweets of
the great eternity.

W. H. C. McCOY, London, a
life resident of Madison County, and a
resident of London, was born in Deer
Creek Township August 10, 1828. A sketch
of his father is well worth a place in
our work. William McCoy
(deceased), was born in Washington
County, Penn., January 30, 1785; his
father, Daniel McCoy,
emigrated to Kentucky in 1787, and there
resided till 1806. He then removed to
Clark County, Ohio; he departed this life
in Highland County. He married a Miss
Sutherland; on March 10, 1815, William
McCoy came to Madison County,
locating in Deer Creek Township, one and
a half miles east of the present site of
La Fayette; he was a farmer and
stock-raiser through life, and took great
interest in the breeding and raising of
horses. He owned 300 acres of land at the
time of his death. He was a soldier in
the war of 1812; a Whig in early life,
subsequently a stanch Republican, and for
many, years was a Justice of the Peace in
Deer Creek Township; he was one of the
founders of the Presbyterian Church of
London, and among its first Elders. He
died September 3, 1869, aged eighty-four
years eight months and three days. His
wife was Ann Tweed Fielding,
who was born in Washington County, Penn.,
January 17, 1793; they were the parents
of nine children, six daughters and three
sons, two now living—Mrs. M. M.
Davidson, of London, and our subject.
Mrs. McCoy departed this life
March 28, 1854. Both parents were buried
in the cemetery, two and a half miles
east of La Fayette. Our subject was the
eighth child, and grew to mature years on
the old home farm. In early life he
walked two and a half miles to district
school, and subsequently attended an
academy at Jefferson; he has been engaged
in farming the most of his life, having
inherited 100 acres of the home farm, and
afterward buying the other 200 acres, and
then adding 140 more to it; he came to
London February 23, 1873, and sold his
farm in December, 1879; since his removal
to London, he has been working at the

C. and Celestia B.; Lydia
T., the oldest child is deceased. Mrs.
McCoy departed this life February
7, 1880; she was also a member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. The full name
of our subject is William Henry
Clay, and the manner in which it
was given him will be of. interest. When
his parents lived in Kentucky, they were
well acquainted with Henry Clay,
and when our subject was born, he was
named for the Kentucky statesman. When he
had attained the age of two and a half
years, Henry Clay stopped
at the Gwynne farm, and sent word
to the parents to bring his namesake
over. He then presented the child with a
five dollar gold piece. This money was
taken charge of by an elder brother, and
used in the purchase of calves. At the
time of the latter's death, the sum
amounted to $200. This money was put on
interest for two or three years, and then
the father saw a chance to buy forty-one
acres of land adjoining the homestead,
which he purchased. When our subject grew
of age, he was presented this piece of
land, and kept it till he finally
disposed of the whole farm.

GEORGE G. McDONALD,
London, is a retired farmer, and has been
a resident of Madison County for
three-quarters of a century. He was
born in Washington County, Tenn., on
Christmas Day of 1803. He is a son
of James McDonald, a native of Botetourt
County, Va. He left his native
State when quite young, and emigrated to
Tennessee, where he married Nancy Cook,
a native of New Jersey. They came
to Ross County, Ohio, in the winter of
1806-07, and the following spring came to
Madison County. He located on a
farm in Union Township, six miles from
the present site of London, and on the
Georgesville pike. He was a farmer
by occupation, and a pioneer of that part
of Madison county. There was only
one house in what is now the village of
London when he came to this county, and
Indians and wild beasts were entirely too
plentiful for comfort. Twelve
children were born to Mr. and Mrs.
McDonald, six living, and their
daughter, seventy-six; daughter,
seventy-four; daughter, seventy-two; and
son, fifty-nine, an average of over
seventy-three years each. This is
probably the highest average of any
family in Madison County. Our
subject was the third child and second
son, and in early life assisted his
father in the general duties of the
farm. He was accustomed to clearing
land, and burning up the walnut timber to
get it out of the way. His mother
was a good scholar, and taught him what
early education he possessed. He
married Melinda Ferguson, a native
of Lexington, Ky., and a resident of
Franklin County, Ohio. He remained
with his father three years after
marriage, and then purchased 335 acres of
land in Deer Creek Township where he
resided until 1878. In the
meantime, he had increased his farm to
623 acres. His original farm he
gave to his daughter, and now owns and
farms the remainder, 288 acres. In
1878, he removed to London, where he now
resides. He has been a member of
the Methodist Episcopal denomination
fifty-five years, probably as long as any
present resident of Madison County.
He was formerly a Whig, but became a
charter member of the Republican party on
the date of its organization. He
has always enjoyed perfect health, and to
use his own language - "When I am a
little indisposed, I don't take any
medicine, but just starve the sickness
away. I find that the best
plan." Thirteen children have
been give to him, only one living - Mary
A., wife of "Judge" Robert
C. Fulton, of Columbus. "Uncle
George," as he is familiarly
known to the greater part of our readers,
possesses a most remarkable memory.
He can relate many stories of "days
gone by," when the little band of
pioneers in this county had all they
could do to keep body and soul together,
and wait for the day when the white
settlers would predominate. He has
been a "tiller of the soil" for
three-quarters of a century, honest in
every action, and enjoys the true esteem
and respect of every citizen in the
county.

W. H. McKINNON, London, is
a member of the firm of McKinnon
& Watts, the well-known
saddlers and harness-makers. He is a
native of Lisbon, Clark County, Ohio, and
a son of Theophilus McKinnon,
who came to Ohio in 1802. He was born in
Harrison County, Ky., in November, 1774.
His father came to Ohio with his family
in 1802, and settled on Buck Creek, a few
miles north of Springfield, Ohio, he
being the first settler on that stream
above the site of Lagonda. He also
planted the first apple-orchard in that
part of the country. At the time the
family settled in Ohio, this entire
region of the State was inhabited by many
Indians. Mr. McKinnon, in
his younger days, witnessed a number of
councils of Indians, at which the
"pipe of peace" figured
prominently. He once heard the famous
Indian chief and warrior, Tecumseh, make
a speech at a council in Springfield. He
was married to Pricilla Houston,
sister of Dr. J. T. Houston, of
London, January 2, 1823. Mrs. McKinnon
departed this life July 24, 1872. Nine
children were born to them, all of whom
lived to the years of maturity, and six
of them are now living—Mrs. Reed
Marquart and Mr. J. Q. McKinnon,
of Atlanta, Ill.; Mr. J. T. McKinnon,
of Washington Territory; Hon. J. H.
McKinnon, of Ashland, Neb.; Mrs.
E. E. Watts and W. H. McKinnon,
of London. For almost thirty years Mr.
McK. was a resident of Madison
County, with the exception of a short
time of residence at Xenia, spending the
last fourteen years of his life in
London. Mr. McK. possessed a
remarkable memory, and, with his mind
stored with the numerable facts gained
from many years of diligent reading, he
was a veritable living history of Madison
County. Always interested in the affairs
of the nation, he kept himself posted
upon all subjects of importance, so that
it was a pleasure to hear from him
through his knowledge of affairs seventy
and seventy-five years ago. During the
last thirteen years of his life, he was
blind, and it seemed to be true in his
case, that the loss of one of the powers
strengthens the remaining, for up to
within a short time of his death his mind
remained perfectly clear and ready, and
his memory surprisingly accurate. During
the years of his blindness, he was kept
informed upon all matters of interest by
friends reading to him, and he continued
to manifest a great interest in matters
of daily concern. For nearly sixty years,
he was a member of the Methodist
Episcopal denomination, having been
converted while a resident of Lisbon,
Clark County, Ohio. He was active in his
church relations, and made his house a
home for ministers, delighting to
entertain and keep them with him. His
days of life reached from the days of
George Washington to the present. He
lived under every administration since
the organization of our present
government. His first Presidential vote
was cast for James Monroe, in
1820, after whom he voted for President
at every election for that office, making
in all, for him, sixteen such votes. He
said that he had crossed the Alleghany
Mountains twelve times on horseback, a
feat that few would care about performing
at the present day. He was a grandson of Maj.
Harrison and a great-grandson of Col.
Crawford, both of whom were
tortured to death by the Indians, the
former having been "squibbed "
to death with powder, at a place near the
present site of Zanesfield, Logan County,
Ohio, and the latter having been burned
to death at a stake, near Upper Sandusky,
Wyandot County, Ohio. Mr. McKinnon
passed away from earth the evening of
Friday before Easter Sunday, in 1882,
aged eighty-eight years, being, with
possibly two exceptions, the oldest man
in the community. He sleeps the sleep
that knows no awakening in Oak Hill
Cemetery, east of London. W. H.
McKinnon was reared in Clark and
Madison Counties, and served a four
years' apprenticeship at his present
trade with an uncle, Thomas Houston,
of South Charleston, Ohio He worked at
his trade in Logan County, Ill., for two
years, and then returned to South
Charleston. After a short time, he went
to Catawba, Clark County, and
subsequently to Jefferson, in this
county. In 1865, he came to London with
his uncle, and three or four months later
the present partnership of McKinnon
& Watts was formed. They are
among the oldest merchants in the
village, have met with very good success,
and both members of the firm are highly
esteemed. Mr. McKinnon is
Republican in politics, and once served
two years as a member of the County
Central Committee.

JAMES Q. MINSHALL
(deceased) was born in Paint Township,
this county, March 7,1815, and died in
London August 28, 1878. His parents, Jonathan
and Eleanor Minshall,
came from Virginia to Ross County, Ohio,
in 1806, and moved from there to Paint
Township, Madison County, one year later.
James Quinn Minshall
began life for himself at twenty-one
years of age, by accepting a position
with a Mr. Anderson, who
kept a stage station near, and
subsequently a hotel at LaFayette, in
this county. After remaining three years
with Mr. Anderson, during
which time he accumulated about $300, he
engaged in farming and stock-dealing,
renting the John Creamer
farm in Range Township, in connection
with Jesse Watson. In this
business he continued until his death,
accumulating property which, clear of all
indebtedness, was worth not less than
$200,000. During his lifetime. he paid,
interest included, not less than $70,000
as security for others. He was the owner
of between thirty-four and thirty-five
hundred acres of land in Range, Paint and
Union Townships, and was a large stock
owner in the Madison National Bank, of
which he was President for a long time
prior to and until his death. He was
married to Hannah Watson,
daughter of Samuel Watson,
and by her had five children, viz., Wyatt,
Clarestine (deceased), Leon,
Sarah and Ada. Mrs. Minshall
died in June, 1866, after twenty-seven
years of happily married life, and in
April, 1867, Mr. Minshall
married Lydia Powell, by
whom he had no children. Mr. Minshall
was one of the best known, most
influential and wealthy citizens of
Madison County. From a penniless boy, he
gained his high position in the world by
his own personal efforts, and though he
lost a great deal of money, during his
life, his business ability and untiring
energy enabled him to overcome all
reverses, and to reach a position of the
highest honor in the community. Some time
before the beginning of his residence in
London, in 1865, he joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and was ever afterward
a steadfast, working Christian. Tireless
in doing good, and unbounded in his
charity, with a warm heart and
sympathetic nature, he never turned a
deaf ear to the cry of want, but always
stood ready to help the deserving poor.
In his death the community mourned the
loss of one of its most noble members.

JOHN MINTER, farmer, P. O.
La Layette, was born in Harrison County,
Va., October 12, 1804: he is a son of William
and Mary Minter,
natives of Virginia. The grandparents
were John and Elizabeth
Minter, also natives of Virginia,
who removed to Kentucky, and were among
the early settlers of that State; they
located on military lands, which, from
the uncertain and imperfect titles which
then existed, he subsequently lost. About
1802, they removed to Ohio, and were
among the pioneers of Delaware County,
where they lived and died. William
Minter married Mary Stevenson,
and resided in Kentucky till the spring
of 1829, when they removed to this county
and located in Deer Creek Township, on
the tract of land still owned by his son John,
our subject, at a point about one mile
north of La Fayette. This tract of land
he obtained on a military claim, which
called for 6,666-2/3 acres, of which he
obtained about one-third; the balance
being absorbed by fraud and expenses of
surveys, and in locating the lands. This
land was then all in its natural state,
with no improvements, and here Mr.
Minter spent the active portion of
his life; thence he removed to the town
of La Fayette, where he passed the last
years of his life. He died in August,
1858, aged eighty-two years; his wife
died in February, 1868, aged eighty-seven
years. Mr. Minter was one
of the active, leading men of this
community, and held many offices of trust
in the township, and as stated in the
history of Deer Creek Township, he was
the founder of the town of La Fayette. He
was always ready with his means and
influence to aid in all public
improvements for the general good of the
community; and many of his neighbors and
acquaintances were the recipients of his
kindness and financial aid, even to the
great injury of himself, and in his death
the community lost one of her kindest and
best citizens. He was the father of nine
children-—four now surviving—John,
Sallie (now Widow Quinn),
William, Crawford and Ann
(now Widow Rogers). Our
subject grew to manhood in Kentucky, and
was in his twenty-fifth year when he came
to Madison County with his father. He was
married, September 7, 1837, to Mary
Delaney, who was born in Urbana,
Ohio, November 18,1818, a daughter of David
and Sarah Delaney, a
native of Champaign County, Ohio. They
had but one child— Mary. Mr. Delaney
died ; his wife died January 22,18.68. Mr.
Minter and wife have had six
children—Salome and Saline
(twins) born April 12, 1839; the
former died January 12, 1857; the latter
June 2, 1857; Walter, born April
12, 1842, died June 15,1844; Sallie
Ann, born October 11, 1846, married W.
H. Jones; Lewis K., born June 25,
1852; and Benjamin Franklin,
born April 9, 1855. Mr. Minter
resided upon the old home place of his
father till about 1857, when he moved to
La Fayette for the purpose of convenience
to school, to educate his children. He
has now lived fifty-three years in Deer
Creek Township.

ELISHA MOORE (deceased)
was a native of Virginia, born near
Winchester in 1797. His father, John
Moore, was also a native of the
"Old Dominion," and* came to
Ohio about 1811. He located in Ross
County, and a year later came to Madison
County, settling on 300 acres of land
belonging to the Littler family, in Union
Township. He was a farmer by occupation,
a quiet and unobtrusive citizen, and a
great lover of fun. He was a "
Jackson Democrat " until 1840, then
joined the Whig party and remained that
way till his death. He was twice married.
His first wife was a Miss Smith,
who bore him two children, both now
deceased. His second wife was Sarah
Littler. They were the parents of
nine children, probably two now living.
Our subject was about fifteen years of
age when he accompanied his parents to
this county. He farmed two or three years
in early life, in Ross County, raising
wheat and floating it down to New Orleans
to market, on a flatboat. He then located
on his father's land, in Union Township,
and resided there till 1840. He then
removed his family to Noble County,
Indiana, and there departed this life in
1861. He was also twice married. His
first wife was Annie Cooms,
a native of Virginia or Maryland, and
daughter of Jacob Cooms.
They had four children, three living. Mrs.
Moore died in the fall of 1836,
and Mr. Moore married for
his second wife Nancy Scott,
a native of Madison or Clark County, and
daughter of Robert Scott.
No children were born to this union. Mrs.
Moore is still living, and resides
at Pearson, Kosciusko Co., Ind.
Politically, Mr. Moore was
a Whig, a "Know Nothing," and
subsequently a Republican. Robert Moore,
a carpenter of London, and the only
member of the family now residing in this
county, was born on the old home farm, in
Union Township, April 17, 1828. When
twelve years of age, he went to Noble
County, Ind., with his parents, and
assisted in " clearing up " a
large "patch of timber" which
then covered the farm. Wild beasts and
Indians were very plentiful then, and Mr.
Moore remembers a day when his
father killed three deer and brought them
home. Wolves and wild turkeys were
numerous, and the former were so bold as
to steal close to the log cabin, attack
and kill the dog which stood on guard. Mr.
Moore's father was in rather poor
health after going to Indiana, and his
two sons were engaged in doing all the
work of the farm. At twenty-two years of
age, Robert Moore left the
old fireside, and that summer assisted on
another farm in the same county. The
following winter he came to this county,
and the next summer worked in a saw-mill.
He was then employed to drive 100 head of
cattle from London over the mountains to
Philadelphia. He returned to London, and
then to his father's. He rented the home
farm, remained there two years, and then
returned to London again. He was then
engaged in different occupations,
visiting both the East and the West, for
some time, but was principally employed
in working at his trade in London and
Madison Count}'. Failing health has
caused a cessation of active labor for
the past seven or eight years. Mr.
Moore united with the Masonic
fraternity in 1855 or 1856, and is a
member or Chandler Lodge, No. 138, of
London. He is a stanch Republican, but
has never been an office-holder. He was
married in the last week of 1863 to Thoressa
Lohr. a native of London, and
daughter of John Lohr. Of
their five children, three are
living—Annie, Mary and
Clara. Mrs. Moore is
a member of the First Presbyterian Church
of London, and Mr. Moore is
a regular attendant on its services.

In 1855, he moved to Washington County,
Iowa, and after a residence there of
three years, removed to Franklin County,
where he remained until 1864, when he
moved to his present home in Madison
County. His educational facilities were,
to a certain extent, limited; he had the
good fortune however to spend the winters
of 1851-52 and '53, attending the
Otterbein University at Westerville,
where he studied the profession of land
surveying. He owns a very extensive farm
in Oak Bun Township, consisting of 650
acres, and is recognized as one of the
leading men in his neighborhood.
