He was born in Belmont County in 1802, and settled in 1823 on the farm which he now occupies. (Seneca Twp) He has the only stone house in the township. In 1820 he married Rachel Groves. Fourteen children were born of this union, all of whom lived to be men and women, except one, who died in infancy. Their names were William, Jonas, Samuel, Isaac and David (twins), Lewis, Nancy (hathaway), Elizabeth (Lashley), Joseph, John B. Bathsheba (Hiatt), Peter and Rachel R. (Shepherd). Mrs. Danford died in 1865. In the same year he married Mrs. Danford (nee White), a native of Jefferson County. Mr. Danford is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. He has served twenty years as township trustee. When he came to the township, Mr. Danford bought eighty acres of land of Jacob Dailey. He has owned, all told, over one thousand acres. the story of one land entry is here given. Shortly after the War of 1812, when he was fourteen years of age, he and his brother entered 160 acres of land. At that time there was a great scarcity of money, and in order to relieve those who had entered lands and had not been able to make the final payment, a law was passed through the instrumentality of General Harrison, to divide all tracts entered by a north and south line throught the center, and permit the settler to take his choice of the two lots, and by paying fifty dollars in addition to the first payment secure title to eighty acres. A limited time was set for the payment, and in order to take advantage, Mr. Danford rode from Washington Township (Then Wayne Township), Belmont County, across swollen creeks, through the winderness to Marietta. He was about a week on the trip, but reached Marietta in time to save the land. This tract he sold to Lemuel Rucker and it is now owned by Isaiah Rucker.
