   WASHINGTON MOREHART, farmer, P. O. Vanlue, was born March 4, 1817, in
Fairfield County, Ohio. His grandparents came from Westmoreland County. Penn.,
and were pioneers of Fairfield County, Ohio. Our subject, with his brother
William Josiah and sisters Sarah and  Maria, came to Hancock County. Ohio, in
1833, and began pioneer life on land which he and his uncle, Andrew (then a
resident of Seneca County, Ohio), had entered some time prior to that date. They
soon erected a cabin and began clearing their land with a view to making a home.
In 1839 Mr. Morehart married Elizabeth, daughter of George Breiner, and by her
he has three children: Malinda, wife of F. M. Lee; Caroline, wife of R. M. Lee;
and Christiann, wife of Isaac Wohlgamuth. Mrs. Morehart departed this life in
1884. Mr. Morehart lived on his farm forty years, then moved to the village of
Vanlue, this county, where he has since resided, but still owns and manages his
farm. He had but little to begin life with, but has acquired a fair competency.
He has filled the office of township trustee for several years, and is a man
highly respected by his fellow townsmen.
