Ohio: 1879 – Obituary:

 

“On Thursday, Oct. 9th, 1879, near North Woodbury, William McAninch, an old and esteemed

citizen, died at his residence, aged 78 years, 2 months and 4 days. He was born in Huntingdon

County, Pennsylvania, Aug 5th, 1801, was united in marriage with Mary Ann Werts, in 1832,

removed to Ohio in 1836, and for the last 43 years has been a resident of Ohio. He leaves a wife,

one son, and a large circle of friends to mourn his death.” “Morrow County Sentinel”, Oct. 23, 1879,

pg. 3; copy in possession of Dr. Richard M. Cochran, Big Rapids, Michigan.

 

The 1832 marriage was probably in Pennsylvania, since the obit says they moved to Ohio in 1836.

William and Mary had a son, William H., b. 22 Mar. 1840, Chesterville, Morrow Co., Ohio, who

married Aurelia Ellen Dewitt, 8 Jan. 1863, Mt. Gilead, Morrow Co. The 1840 Census [McKeen.

Twp., Licking Co., OH, p.297 (M704 Roll 408)] also shows 1 female under 5 [poss. died young?]

 

In the 1830’s, two McAninch brothers married McLain girls in Franklin County, Pennsylvania –

“Jas. McAninch  to  Barbara McLean  1830”, and “Jno. McAninch  to  Miss McClean  1833”

[“Marriage Records of 1802-1855”, by Rev. A. A. McGinley, D.D., in the Appendix, p. 92-97 of

History of Path Valley Presbyterian Churches, Rev. D. I. Kamp and Rev. J. Warren Kauffman,

1916, Repository Press, Chambersburg, Penn.]. This William H. McAninch may be another brother

in the same family [“Family Record, by Hazel M. Houser”, “Property of Alice M. Quay”].
