    In the Portrait and Biographical Album of Hillsdale Co., Michigan, 1888, on page 433, reference is made to Alice Jones, daughter of Levi and Melinda (Oliver) Jones, as the wife of Benjamin Mathias, at that time residing "near Ottawa, KS".

    In the 1900 Franklin County, Kansas Census, Benjamin and Alice and their children reside in Ottawa Twp. and Benjamin is a farmer.

Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Paul Mathias was born in 1808/1809 in Ohio, United States; died in Jan 1867 in Hancock, Ohio, United States; was buried in Dukes Cemetery, Blanchard, Hancock, Ohio, United States.

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Hancock County, Ohio Census, Paul is a farmer whose Real Estate value is $5,000.00. He and his wife and children reside in Blanchard Twp. next door to his first cousin, Jacob, who is married to his wife's sister, Mary Ann, and their children. Dorothy Weiser Seale states on page 331 in her book Math(t)hias Milestones (1984) that "Paul and his wife Barbara moved from Stark Co., Ohio to Hancock Co., Blanchard Twp., Ohio sometime before 1840. In the 1850 Census, Paul was a landowner with considerable acreage in Hancock Co. and resided there with his wife and ten of their children. His farm adjoined that of Jacob and Mary Ann Mathias... his first cousin."

    In the 1860 Hancock County, Ohio Census, Paul and Barbara continue to reside in Blanchard Twp. but their post office address was then identified as Gilboa. Paul is a farmer whose Real Estate value is $15,000.00 and whose Personal Estate value is $2,500.00.

    On page 331 of Mat(t)hias Milestones, Ms. Seale explains: "Their farm was near the Putnam County border, and Gilboa was the largest town and closest delivery point. As one of his father's heirs, and as one of the beneficiaries of his sister Polly's Will, Paul inherited a share of the property in the Southwest Quarter of Section 3, Twp. 19, Range 7 in Stark Co., Nimishillen Twp., Ohio. On 3 March 1863, while they were residents of Gilboa, Putnam County, Ohio, Paul and Barbara Mathias did, by deed of quit claim, convey their interest in Section 3 to John Krabill who paid them the sum of $900."

    Paul and Barbarey (as it is spelled on her headstone) are buried next to each other. His marker states that he was aged 53 years, 5 months 6 days when he died; that would make his year of birth 1813 though the Census records suggest he was born in 1808 or 1809. However, a letter written by Paul and Barbara's son, Captain John C. Mathias, in his Pension File states that Paul died in 1864.

    Paul married Barbara (Barbary) Stambaugh on 16 Aug 1832 in Stark, Ohio, United States. Barbara (daughter of Henry Stambaugh and Catharina Walter) was born in 1812/1813 in Pennsylvania, United States; was buried in Dukes Cemetery, Blanchard, Hancock, Ohio, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 5.  Barbara (Barbary) Stambaugh was born in 1812/1813 in Pennsylvania, United States (daughter of Henry Stambaugh and Catharina Walter); was buried in Dukes Cemetery, Blanchard, Hancock, Ohio, United States.

    Notes:

    The payment voucher that Barbara (Barbary) signed for receipt of her inheritance from her father's estate showed that in November 1866 she resided in Hancock County, Ohio.

    In the 1870 Hancock County, Ohio Census, Barbara is the head of household. Her single sons, David and Lewis, who work on the farm, reside with her at McComb, Blanchard Twp. Her Real Estate value is $3,000.00 and her Personal Estate value is $300.00.

    She is buried next to her husband and her marker identifes her as "Barbarey", w/o Paul who died aged 57 years 10 months being born on 30 July 1826. That would make her death year 1884. The birth year suggested is more than a decade later than any Census records suggest It would also make her only four years old when she married Paul! Obviously there are some errors in the dates recorded, either on the cemetery marker or in the typing of that volume of records.

    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]
