    Notes:

    Susan's obituary in the Monday, 14 December 1914 Morning Republican, Hancock County, Ohio states the following:

    The funeral of Mrs. Susan Hickerson, aged 81 years, who died here at 10 o'clock Saturday morning from complications of diseases following a fall two weeks ago, will be held at 1 o'clock this afternoon with Rev. H. E. Oldacre, of the Church of Christ, in charge. Burial will be in the McComb cemetery.

    Mrs. Hickerson was born in Stark county Nov. 8, 1833, being the daughter of Jacob and Mary Matthias. She was one of eight children. Of the immediate family, Dr. A. C. Mi[sic]tthias, of McComb, is the only one who survives. Mrs. Hsckerson's parents came to this county when she was only fourteen years old.

    She was married to James H. Hickerson, Sept. 11, 1852. They lived together more than fifty years, and celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. Mr. Hickerson died two years ago last May.

    They were the parents of four children, all of whom survive, J. Frank, Elmer E. and J. Allen, of McComb, and one daughter, Mrs. C. H. Jaquett [sic] of Grover Hill, O. The daughter was at her bedside during her last illness.

    Mrs. Hickerson is survived also by five grandchildren and one great-grandchild. She was a life-long member of the German Baptist, or Dunkard church, joining it fifty-three ago."

    Notes:

    Although her obituary states that Susan and James were married in 1833, that is obviously a typo as she would have been three years old at that time!!

It also states that "In 1849 Jacob moved from Starck county to Hancock county, and located on 220 acres of land in Blanchard township, where he remained until 1866, when he moved to Hillsb[sic]ale, Mich., where he died..."

    According to Dorothy Weiser Seale's Mat(t)hias milestones : the genealogy & biograhical history of Daniel Mathias, senior (a soldier of the Revolution) of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania & Stark County, Ohio, "In 1806, when Jacob was less than age two, he traveled overland from Westomoreland County, Pa. to Stark Co., Ohio with his parents and settled in Nimishillen Township...In 1849, Jacob and his family left Stark County and moved to Hancock County, Ohio where they located on 220 acres of land in Blanchard Township...In 1866, Jacob and Mary Ann, lured by the beautiful farming and fishing country in Michigan, moved to Hillsdale County, Michigan where they spent the remainder of their lives. Their eldest son, Jesse, preceded them to Hillsdale County in 1860.

    His marker at West Woodbridge Cemetery in Camden Twp. states that he died at age 78 years 1 day.

      Notes:

      Name Prefix: Rev.
      Rev. Jacob Lischy's Private Pastoral Records for Lischy's Reformed Church in York County, Pennsylvania, 1773 -1901 record the baptism of Henry Stambach who was born 14 September 1785 (this date is within 3 days of the birthdate calculated according to Rev. Henry Stambaugh's cemetery marker). His parents are identified as Philip and Margaret Stambach; the probablity that this is Henry, son of Philip and Barbara, but with some recording error, appears great. The baptismal sponsors were Jacob and Anna Hauser.

      There is an entry for Henry Stambaugh in Manallen Twp., 1810 Adams County, Pennsylvania Census witht he following family:

      1 male 16 - 25
      3 males under 10
      1 female 16-25
      1 female under 10


      There is an entry for Henry Stombaugh in the 1820 Columbiana County, Ohio Census for Centre Twp. with the following family:

      1 male 26 - 45
      2 males 10 - 16
      5 males under 10
      1 female 26 - 45
      1 female 10 - 16
      2 females under 10
      1 person engaged in agriculture


      Reference is made to Henry in the Columbiana County Cemetery Inscriptions, Volume 14, as submitted by Carol Willsey Bell. The record originally appeared in the Ohio Patriot published in New Lisbon by William D. Lepper Saturday, 12 September 1829:


      DIED Sunday morning last at the residence of John Watson in
      this town, the Rev. John Waggner late of Rockbridge Co., VA,
      at the advanced age of 75 years. The deceased had left home on foot, a distrance of several hundred miles, in search of two of
      his sons, of whom no tidings were had until whitin a few days
      of his demise and too late for information to reach them of his
      situation. It may be a gratification to his relations and friends
      to learn, though he died among strangers, that every care & attention was paid to him by Mr. Watson & family and the
      family of Martin Helman, that humanity cound suggest. His remains were interred on Monday in the German Cemetery at which the Rev. Henry Stambaugh officiated in a feeling and impressive manner.


      In the 1850 Portage County, Ohio Census, Henry and his second wife, Hannah, reside in Randolph Township where Henry is a cooper. His Real Estate value is $1,600.00.

      In the 1860 Portage County, Ohi Census, Henry and Hannah continue to reside in Randolph Twp. Henry's Real Estate value is $600.00 and his Personal Estate value is $2,000.00.

      In the biographical sketch of A.W. Stambaugh in History of Stark County with an outline sketch of Ohio edited by William Henry Perrin, his grandfather is identified as Rev. Henry Stambaugh. This source does not mention Henry and Catharina's children Jacob or Hannah but does mention a son "Josiah", a daughter, "Emma", and a second daughter bearing the name "Catharine" that are not mentioned in any other document or resource that I have yet found.

      That same source explains that Henry married Catharine "...and with his family of children emigrated to Ohio, crossing the river at Pittsburg in a ferryboat. He came to New Lisbon, Ohio, where he rented land twelve years, but finally made his way to the county [Stark], and settled first in Nimishillen Tp., when it was all a wilderness; remaining here seven years, when, he removed to Canton and remained seven years, and finally located in Portage Co., where he died in 1866. He was a minister of the Albright faith, as were also John and Jacob, his brothers, but later in life joined the United Brethren Church. (page 968)."

      According to that same county history, Henry's "...ancestor was Philip, a native of Alsace on the Rhine. He and several brothers came to York Co., Pa., and settled there previous to the war of the Revolution. The children of Philip were --- Jacob, Henry, John, Catharine, Mary and Elizabeth. Philip was remarkably fond of hunting and the chase, and upon his arrival in Pennsylvania, purchased several hundred acres of land at South Mountain, in Adams Co., Pa. (967)."

      Henry

      Henry married Catharina Walter. Catharina (daughter of Henry Walter and Barbara) was born on 24 Aug 1785 in Pennsylvania, United States; died on 24 Apr 1842; was buried in Sand Hill Cemetery, Randolph, Portage, Ohio, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

      Notes:
