Nathaniel H. Tabler, retired farmer, P. O. Morris, was born March 13, 1809, in 
Berkeley County, Va. He is the son of Henry and Mary (Oller) Tabler. Our 
subject's grandfather, George Tabler, was one of the early settlers in that 
country, having come from Germany and settled in Berkeley County, Va., shortly 
after the Revolution. He had five children - Michael, Henry (subject's 
father), Christian, William and one daughter, whose name is unknown, all of 
whom settled in Virginia. To our subject's grandfather on his mother's side, 
were born John, Jacob, George, Peter, Betsey, Catherine, Mary, and another 
daughter whose name is unknown, all of whom were born in Virginia. The 
children of our subject's parents were Nathaniel H., Joshua, Levi Harrison, 
Peter, Mary and Anna. His father was a farmer, and Mr. Tabler remained under 
the parental roof until he was twenty-one years of age, when he started alone 
for Delaware County, Ohio, and settled on the Scioto River about the year 
1830. His father bought 200 acres of land, but did not himself come. Subject 
moved on to this land which was mostly wooded, and immediately commenced 
improvements. While here, in November, 1830, he was married to Mary Cryder, 
daughter of Henry Cryder. In October, 183_, he came to this county, and 
settled on Section 8, in Au Sable Township. At that time there were no 
improvements on the place. Three families - the Wollys, Cryders, and N. H. 
Tabler - constituted the population at that time. Remaining on his farm until 
1876, he went to Minooka, this county, and lived there till the fall of 1882. 
His children by his first wife were Joseph, David C., Elias, Matthew, Ezra and 
Mary, who was the wife of John McCloud. His second marriage was with Hannah 
Marie, daughter of Jacob and Betsey Cryder. Their children were Jerome, 
William, Lewis and Anna. He was married a third time to Susan Paulding, who 
was born near Waynesboro, Franklin Co., Penn. She was the daughter of Frank M. 
and Sarah (Rogers) Paulding. Joseph, Mr. Tabler's son by his first wife, lives 
in Florida, and the others are in Au Sable Township. Edward was all through 
the war, afterward coming home, and was killed in 1866 by the kick of a mule. 
Mr. Tabler was for the fourth time united in marriage, this time to Mrs. 
William Johnson, by whom he has one child - Farada, born July 4, 1881. Mr. 
Tabler has been a member of the M. E. Church for about fourteen years. He was 
a Democrat up to the time of Lincoln, since which he has voted the Republican 
ticket. Since coming to Morris, Mrs. Tabler has been running the Cottage 
Hotel, and boards the students attending the Normal School.
