   URIAH W. EGBERT, farmer, P. O. Vanlue, born May 18, 1810, in Northumberland
County, Penn., is a son of David and Mary (Williams) Egbert, natives of New
Jersey, who moved to Pennsylvania, and in 1812 came to Ohio, first settling in
Fairfield County, and in 1822 moving to Seneca County, where they entered land.
In 1830 David Egbert came to this county and entered land in Monroe and Amanda
Townships, near Blanchard Bridge. He afterward sold his land and moved to Wood
County, where he and his wife died. He was the father of ten children, six of
whom are now living: Joseph; Uriah W.; Sally, wife of J. Charles; Percilla, wife
of George Shoemaker; Reuben and Maria E. Our subject entered 100 acres of land,
fractional lot, which he cleared, and on which he made the first improvements.
He was twice married; first, in May. 1841, to Mary, daughter of Major Bright,
pioneer minister and the most extensive land-holder in the county since its
organization. This union was blessed with six children: Amos (deceased), Mary
Louisa (deceased wife of J. Cross; she left eight children). Sarah A., wife of
J. Stephens; Major; David, married to Sallie Benner, and Martha J. In 1863 Mr.
Egbert married for his second wife, Marcia, M., daughter of Richard Jaqua. Mr.
Egbert has been a resident of this county for fifty-five years, engaged in
farming most of the time. He is a leading member and trustee of the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
