Subject: William Strawn & Francis Stocker


Here's what the Hist. of Tusky Co. says about Jacob Strawn, p. 967.:

    WILLIAM STRAWN, farmer and stock-raiser, PO New Cumberland, was born
March 21, 1822 in this county.  His parent, Jacob and Martha (Ervin) Strawn
were natives of Pennsylvania, and moved to Tuscarawas County in 1816.  The
farm upon which they located was a dense wilderness, and they had to build a
cabin before they could have a home.  Wild game was abundant, and once
William and his brother were chased by wolves to the cabin from the field,
whither they had gone to husk corn. Jacob and Martha Strawn have long since
passed away. William was raised on his father's farm, and received his
education in the common schools of the township. He was united in marriage
November 11, 1847, to Eliza Denney, daughter of Thomas Denney, of Carrol
County. Three children have been born to them - John. I., who married Alice
Wallack, and resides in Iowa; Sarah Irene, wife of William A. Scott, of
Dennison, Ohio; and William Norwood, at home.  Mr. Strawn has been very
successful in life, and has acquired a fine property of 372 acres of well
improved and nicely situated land. He also owns a farm in Iowa, and other
property.  Mr. Strawn is interested in the culture and improve of fine
stock, and has some fine blooded animals on his farm. He is a stanch
Republican, and himself and wife are member of the Disciple Church. He
contributes liberally to the support of other churches in the community, and
is the friend of education and religious enterprises.  He owns the first
organ ever brought to the township. Mr. Strawn is regarded as one of the
foremost and most influential citizens of Warren Township.

And Francis Stocker, p. 913:

FRANCIS STOCKER, farmer, PO Port Washington, was born in Salem Township June
17, 1818, son of Andrew and Mary M. Stocker, natives of Pennsylvania, who
settled in 1816 in Tuscarawas County, where Andres died about 1857, and Mary
M. some years prior. Andrew Stocker had united in marriage, after the death
of his first wife, with Maria Bremer who survived her marriage but a few
years. Francis Stocker was married in September 1838, to Elizabeth Huff,
born in this county in 1820, and died April 1, 1863. His second wife was
Catherine Reed, who was born in Carrol County November 11, 1834, daughter of
John Reed. Mr. Stocker is a member of the Lutheran Church, as was also his
first wife.  Mrs. Stocker is connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Our subject has been engaged in farming through life, and owns 209 acres of
well-improved land, with excellent buildings thereon. He has served his
township as trustee, and is the parent of twenty children, of whom fifteen
survive, viz: Hiram, John, Joseph, Sylvester, Catherine, Elizabeth, Frank,
David, Henry, Alvin and Lydia by his first wife and Laura A., Emmett E.,
Mary M. and Benjamin by his present wife.
