Cokonougher" Subject: Bio: Hester family, 1810-1908, Ross County Date: Fri, 09 Mar 2001 18:56:00 -0000 The Hester family, from pages 514 to 516 of "The County of Ross" by Henry Holcomb Bennett, editor. Madison, Wisconsin: Selwyn A. Brant, 1908: Jackson Hester was born in Buckskin township, Ross county, January 28, 1844, son of Charles M. and Mary (Christian) Hester, the former a native of Buckskin township in 1810. The father and mother of Charles M. Hester were Pennsylvanians, who came to Ohio at a very early period, first settling at Chillicothe and then removing to Buckskin township. The father, Henry Hester, served through the war of 1812 and bore his share of all the pioneer hardships in the West. Charles M. helped on the farm during summers and attended subscription school in the winter time. After marrying, he went to housekeeping on his own place, where he remained until 1850, when he sold out and bought the place where his son Jackson now resides. He was a farmer, but worked some at the carpenter's trade. Both himself and wife are now numbered among the dead. They had seven children in all, of whom three died in infancy, and Sarah Ann's death occurred after her marriage to James Grieves. The living children are Washington, Jackson and Lucinda, who is the wife of William Grieves. Jackson Hester received his education in the schools of the district, and was in his seventeenth year when the civil war broke out. On May 1, 1864, he enlisted at Chillicothe in Company I, One Hundred and Forty-ninth Ohio infantry, under command of Captain Rhodes. They were mustered in at Camp Dennison and sent from there to Baltimore, at which place and other points they did guard duty. They participated in the battles of Monocacy, near Frederick, Md., on July 9, 1864, and in several smaller engagements. The command returned to Baltimore, went from there to Washington and back to Camp Dennison in September, 1864, where they were mustered out. Immediately thereafter, Mr. Hester went to his home and resumed his duties on the farm. In 1877, he married May Hixon, a native of Ross county of German descent. He continued to live and do business on the old home place of 250 acres which he inherited from his father. Besides general farming, Mr. Hester operates a sawmill and thresher. He is a member of Prater post, G. A. R., at Bourneville, and his political affiliations are Democratic. To Mr. And Mrs. Hester were born four children, whose names are Allen, Mary, Harley and Daisy, all at home and unmarried. Taylor Hester, long connected with agricultural affairs in the township of Buckskin and Concord, is a descendant of early settlers in Ross county. As far back as 1804, Capt. Henry Hester migrated with his family from Pennsylvania to Ohio and located on land in Buckskin Township. He was a millwright by trade and some time after arriving in Ross county concluded to remove to Chillicothe as a better point for obtaining business in his line. While resident there he was swept off by the cholera plague which devastated southern Ohio cities in 1832 - 33. Captain Hester was the father of three sons and one daughter, the latter of whom married and went to Indiana, while others remained in Ross county and reared families. Zaccheus Hester, the oldest child, was born in Pennsylvania December 15, 1803, and hence was less than a year old when his parents reached Ross county. After arriving at maturity he was engaged mostly in farming, but also devoted considerable time to the management of a grist mill. May 26, 1826, he was married to Margaret Hixon, born July 19, 1808, and the daughter of Timothy Hixon, a Virginian who was among the earliest arrivals in the county. Zaccheus Hester died July 19, 1878, and his wife September 24 of the same year. They were the parents of six sons and three daughters: Daniel, born October 4, 1827, and died March 23, 1883; Sarah, born April 25, 1830, and died December 2, 1893; Rebecca, born June 2, 1833, now the wife of Michael McGough of Ross County; Rose Ann, born August 25, 1835, now living in the West; Timothy, born August 21, 1840, and died March 11, 1866; John W., born July 1, 1844, lives in Jackson county, Ohio; William J. and Taylor (twins), born March 28, 1847, the former died June 11, 1870; Joseph A., born November 23, 1849, now living in Ross county. Taylor Hester, who with his twin brother, was the seventh born of the children, was born in Buckskin township, Ross county, Ohio, March 28, 1847. His adult life has been spent as a farmer in Buckskin township, where he lived until 1897, and after that in Concord township, which is the place of his present residence. He was sixteen years old when John Morgan made his famous raid through Ohio, but took his gun like the older men and volunteered to help repulse the invader. November 25, 1869, Mr. Hester was married to Margaret, daughter of John and Lydia (Ross) Cadwallader, the former a native of Wales and the latter a Virginian, who came to Ross county with the first rush of settlers. Of the two children resulting from this union, Lucy Bell became the wife of M.T. Devine of Frankfort, and Charles Hester, the eldest, who is a farmer by occupation, was married January 1, 1902, to Ada Andrew of Greene county, Ohio. The father is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and also connected with the Masonic fraternity." _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Ralph W.
