Sept. 27, 1825; his occupation there was working in timber; in 1856, he emigrated to Ohio and rented a house in
Bethel Township, and worked at day labor for about eighteen months, and then bought a farm of SO acres in Sec.

acres adjoining, on the north, but has given it to his only child. His marriage with Catharine Bakley was celebrated
Nov. 10, 1848; she is also a native of Frederick Co., Md., born April 23, 1828. Samuel Hawver was born in Maryland
