EDWARD TALBOTT, EDWARD TALBOTT, retired farmer; P.O. Chatham Center; was born in Cazenovia Township, Madison Co., N.Y., son of SAMUEL and BETSEY (ARNOLD) TALBOTT. BETSEY was a daughter of PELEG, who was born in Providence, R.I., and of Scotch ancestry. EDWARD TALBOTT, grandfather of our subject, was a native of England, and emigrated to America during the latter part of the eighteenth century. He was a man of superior education and mental endowments, and was for may years in His Majesty's service as a Recording Officer and Surveyor. He was related to some of the noble families of England. His mother was a Countess, and resided in a fine mansion a short distance from London. SAMUEL TALBOTT, the father of our subject, was a farmer. To him were born nine children - HIRAM, LORENZO, EDWARD, ALPHEUS, GEORGE, MARIA, CAROLINE, ELIZA and SARAH. EDWARD was 22 when he began for himself. His first purchase of land was in Murray Township, Orleans Co., N.Y. Jan 22, 1839, he was married to CYNTHIA REYNOLDS, born in Madison Co. N.Y. in 1816, daughter of COL. and PHEBE (AVERY) REYNOLDS. After his marriage, he purchased a small farm near his father's, where he resided until 1846, when he sold out and came West, locating in this township, purchasing 121 acres where Mr. FROST now resides. In 1855, he bought out MARCUS LYON, south of the Center, purchasing 146 2/3 acres at $30 per acre, and kept the same until 1870, when he sold out to A.C. PACKARD at $70 per acre, and has since resided at the Center. Five daughters have been born him, who have since married and are residents of the township. EUPHEMIA married AMASA CLAPP; LUCY A., P.C.STOWELL; HENRIETTA, W.H.SHANE; MATTIE, A.R. CLAPP; IDA, B.O. McCONNELL. Mr. TALBOTT began life poor, but by good management has accumulated a comfortable fortune. He is not a church member, nor has he ever taken an active part in the politics of his township, further than to vote intelligently. ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Sat, 20 Mar 1999 15:01:38, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) Subject: THOMAS LYONS - COLUMBIANA COUNTY BIOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL RECORD OF JAY AND BLACKFORD COUNTIES, INDIANA The Lewis Publishing Company, 1887 Page 311-312 THOMAS LYONS, one of the wealthy farmers of Pike Township, resides on section 34. He commenced life in Jay County with but little besides strong hands and a determination that no obstacle could overcome, and perhaps no man in Jay County has accomplished more, from so small a beginning as he, and few have done more to develop the county from a state of wildness of that of civilization. Mr. Lyons was born in Columbiana County, Ohio, February 13, 1829, a son of Thomas and Eve (Apple) Lyons. His mother was born in Pennsylvania of German descent; his father was of Irish descent. They were united in marriage in Columbiana County, Ohio. In 1837 they moved to Perry County, where the father died in 1838. In 1850 our subject's brother, Elijah Lyons, came to Jay County and located in Pike Township, and a little later Thomas followed him and bought eighty acres of heavily timbered land on section 26, of the same township. His capital at that time consisted of $180. He erected a log cabin and commenced clearing his land. In 1852 he leased it to his brother-in-law, Enoch Drake, for a term of five years, and returned to Ohio. In 1855 he married Amanda Templeman, and in 1856 they came to Jay County and settled on the homestead on section 26, Pike Township. In 1864 he bought and moved to the homestead of his neighbor Edmond Rathburn. Steadily year by year, by industry and economy, he added to his property until he became a large land owner. His homestead contains 190 acres of finely improved land, and his substantial brick residence and other buildings and improvements denote wealth and prosperity. He has assisted his children to get a start in life by giving to the different ones as seemed most fitting, land or money, not wishing them to travel the weary road from poverty over which he so manfully made his way. His wife, who shared the hardships and privations of pioneer life and later the comforts of a good home with him, died in 1878. To them were born eleven children -John, now of Kansas; Mrs. Amanda Smiley, of Randolph County; Thomas and Elijah, also of Kansas; Mary, Jackson, Sarah and Eve, the latter deceased. In 1882 Mr. Lyons married Miss Florence Harkins, and to them have been born four children, but two of whom, Daniel and Elizabeth, are living. In politics Mr. Lyons is a Democrat. He enlisted during the war of the Rebellion and served nine months, a member of the Twenty-third Indiana Infantry. He is a member of the Baptist church, as was also the wife of his youth. ------------------------------ X-Message: #3 Date: Sat, 20 Mar 1999 15:01:42, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) Subject: COLUMBIANA COUNTY - PART 1 HISTORICAL COLLECTION OF OHIO, By Henry Howe, LL.D., 1898 COLUMBIANA COLUMBIANA COUNTY was formed from Jefferson and Washington, March 25, 1803. Kilbourn, in his "Gazeteer," says: "Columbiana is a fancy name, taken in the Legislature, that a member jocularly moved that the name Maria should be added thereto, so as to have it read Columbiana-maria." The southern part is generally broken and hilly; and the northern level or undulating. This is an excellent agricultural tract; it is well watered, abounds in fine mineral coal, iron ore, lime, and free-stone. The water limestone of this county is of the best quality. Salt water abounds on Yellow and Beaver creeks, which also afford a great amount of water power. Forty years ago it was the greatest wool-growing county in Ohio, and was exceeded by but three or four in the Union. About one-third of the population are of German origin, and there are many of Scotch-Irish extraction. In 1885 the acres cultivated were 118,656; in pasture, 90,692; woodland, 45,065; lying waste, 14,603; wheat, 159,241 bushe ls; corn, 645,39; oats, 580,660; wool, 55,862 pounds; apples, 515,913. School census, 17,060; teachers, 357. Area, 540 square miles. Miles of railroad track, 117.

The number of inhabitants to a square mile was then 46. In 1846 the county was reduced by the formation of Mahoning, to which the townships of Beaver, Goshen, Greene, Smith, and Springfield, formerly belonging to it, were added. The population of the county in 1860 was 32,836, and in 1880, 48,602, of whom 34,945 were Ohio-born; 6,344 Pennsylvania-born; 3,711 English subjects born; 852 Germans; 44 French; 32 Scandinavians. Columbiana is one of the best fruit-producing counties in Ohio. The township of Middletown is especially noted for its raspberries and fine quality of peaches, which last is said to be a rarely failing crop. The fruit finds a near market in Pittsburg. The first paper-mill in Ohio, and the second west of the Alleghenies, was erected in 1805-6 on Little Beaver creek, near its mouth, in this county. It was called the Ohio paper-mill; its proprietors were John Bever and John Coulter. This county was settled just before the commencement of the present century. In 1797 a few families moved across the Ohio and settled in its limits. One of them, named Carpenter, made a settlement near West Point. Shortly after, Capt. Whiteyes, a noted Indian chief, stopped at the dwelling of Carpenter. Being intoxicated, he got into some difficulty with a son of Mr. C., a lad of about seventeen years of age, and threatened to kill him. The young man upon this turned and ran, pursued by the Indian with uplifted tomahawk, ready to bury it in his brains. Finding that the latter was fast gaining upon him the young man turned and shot him, and shortly afterwards he expired. As this was in time of peace, Carpenter was apprehended and tried at Steubenville, under the territorial laws, the courts being then held by by justices of the peace. He was cleared, it appearing that he acted in self-defense. The death of Whiteyes, created great excitement, and fears were entertained that it would provoke hostilities from the Indians. Great exertions were made to reconcile, them, and several presents were given to the friends of the late chief. The wife of Whiteyes received from three gentlemen the sum of $300; one of these donors was the late Bezaleel Wells, of Steubenville. This was the last Indian blood shed by white men in this part of Ohio. ------------------------------ X-Message: #4 Date: Sat, 20 Mar 1999 15:01:34, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) Subject: UNRETURNING BRAVE - COLUMBIANA COUNTY HISTORY OF OHIO, The American Historical Society, Inc., 1925 "THE UNRETURNING BRAVE" Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker is reported to have said that the real heroes of the World war were those who made the supreme sacrifice, who gave their lives in the service of their country. To this class belong more than 6,500 of the khaki-clad boys of Ohio, who won the golden star in the greatest of all the wars of history and in the supreme effort to win a peace, which we fondly trust shall be perpetual.
