   DANIEL ALSPACH, farmer. P. O. Vanlue. born in Fairfield County, Ohio,
December 10, 1811, is a son of Adam and Barbara (Wyant) Alspach, natives of
Schuylkill County, Penn. Adam Alspach, born in 1788, was a soldier in the war of
1812: he came to Ohio at the age of twenty years, and lived in Fairfield County
with his parents and grandfather, Henry Alspach, who were pioneers in Ohio. Adam
Alspach married in Fairfield County, and came to Hancock County in 1830,
entering 160 acres of land in Section 19, Amanda Township, where he resided
until his death. He was the father of seven children when he came to Amanda
Township: Daniel. Aaron, David, Richard, Elizabeth (now deceased), Lavina, wife
of Samuel Treece, and Sarali A., who was born in this county, and is now the
wife of Henry Beck. Daniel Alspach married, September 15, 1836, Catharine,
daughter of Cornelius Vanlue, whose brother, William, laid out the village of
Vanlue, this county. (He afterward moved to Nebraska, and there died.) Cornelius
Vanlue settled in Fairfield County, Ohio, in 1823, and moved to Hancock County
in 1831. Mr. and Mrs. Alspach are the parents of ten children: Barbara A. (wife
of N. Buckingham), William, Savilla (deceased), James, Elmyra, Sarah E. (wife of
L. Clark), Lavina (deceased), J. W. (deceased), Salathiel, and Alice (wife of F.
Copeland). Our subject and wife endured many hardships during their early
pioneer days. They lived for a time in Vanlue, but, preferring farm life, they
again moved into the country.
