John Beezley, Retired Farmer; P.O. Plattsville, Ohio

The subject of this sketch was born in Hamilton County, Ohio, on the 22nd
day of October, 1797.  He is a son of William and Elizabeth Beezley, who
moved from Hamilton to Clermont County, Ohio, remained until 1812, when
they removed to Clarke County, where the subject of this sketch grew to
manhood. In October, 1816, he married Miss Elizabeth Ellsworth, of Clarke
County, daughter of John and Mary Ellsworth,  who were among the pioneers
of Green Township, this county.  Mr. And Mrs. Beezley settled in Clarke
County, remained until the spring of 1826 , when they came to this county
and settled in  Green Township, where he has since resided and made farming
his vocation.  They reared a family of nine children, five of whom are  yet
living - William, Paul, Silence, Jane and Rachel.  William and Paul are now
in Iowa: Silence and Jane are living in Missouri, and Rachel is living in
Illinois.  All are married and have families.  William Beezley served three
years in the war of 1861, as captain of a company in the Illinois regiment.
Paul Beezley served four years during the late war, as a private in the
20th O.V.I., and was honorably dischared at the close of the war.
