1159	WILLIAM BROWN William Brown, a prominent and substantial farmer of Pleasant Township, Clark County, is numbered among its most successful men, and one who has contributed largely to the best interests of his community. A native of Summerford, Madison County, Ohio, he was born November 13, 1829, to James and Mary Ann (Burnside) Brown, the former of whom was a native of New York State, and born June 21 1795, on what was known as the German Flats, southeast of the city of Albany. The father of our subject received but a common-school education, and remained a resident of his native place until a youth of nineteen years. He then emigrated to Upper Canada, accompanying his father?s family thither. His father was a member of the New York General Assembly, and remained until the Assembly adjourned, while the son went to Canada to look after the family. Grandfather Brown, however, was not permitted to join them, as he sickened and died. A message was sent to Canada but the mother could not believe the story, and sent her son James, in haste on horseback to Albany where he learned the melancholy truth, but did not arrive in time to see his father buried. The family lived in Canada only about three months, then returned to New York State, this being during the year 1812. James Brown at this time being of suitable years and stature to enter the army, was for a time held by the British with the intention of pressing him into their service. After examination, however, he was released and rejoined his family. The mother had already removed to Ohio, and James followed shortly afterward. They settled two and one-half miles southwest of Mechanicsburg, and James remained with his mother until his marriage, which took place November 13, 1823. He then with his young wife removed to Summerford, Madison County, where he purchased a farm of two hundred and eight acres, all of which he improved, building up a good homestead, where he resided until his death. This event took place March 13, 1870. James Brown possessed more than ordinary industry and perseverance, and as the result of correct habits was blest with remarkably good health and a frame of more than ordinary vigor and endurance. He was a valued member of his community, prominent in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and a sincere and earnest Christian. During his early manhood he was a strong supporter of the old Whig party. Upon its abandonment he wheeled into the Republican ranks, and maintained his allegiance to this party until the close of his life. To him and his good wife there were born the following children, the eldest of whom, a daughter Caroline, is the wife of William Sanford. The others were named respectively: William, David, Hiram, Eliza, the wife of Harmon Ditz; Delilah, Mrs. William Wilkinson; Rachel, Mary M., (the wife of Jacob C. Vanness); and Melissa, The wife of Charles N. Lafferty. The death of James Brown occurred very suddenly as he was sitting in a chair, apparently in his usual good health. His career was that of a self-made man, he having started in life at the foot of the ladder, without other resources than those given him by a kindly Providence. Solely through his own efforts he worked himself up to a good position, socially and financially. He was the son of William and Elizabeth (Brooker) Brown, who were both natives of New York State, where they were reared and married. Their family consisted of the following named children: Jonathan, James, Oliver, Cornelius, Amy, Dyer, Sarah and Elizabeth. They all accompanied their mother to Ohio, and with the exception of Dyer, all are deceased. He is over ninety years old, and lives in California. The Brown family is of Scotch extraction, and have been noted for the possession of the substantial qualities peculiar to their nationality. The mother of our subject was born December 14, 1803, in Bedford County, Va., and was a daughter of William and Elizabeth (Frankinberger) Burnside, who were likewise natives of the Old Dominion. The maternal grandparents of our subject were natives of Virginia, and moved to the young State of Ohio about 1807, settling first in the Caesar?s Creek Township, Greene County. Two years later they removed to the vicinity of Mechanicsburg, where Mr. Burnside died in October, 1823. His widow subsequently made her home with her eldest son and died at the age of eighty-six years. Grandfather Burnside was a blacksmith by trade, at which he worked in the army during the War of 1812. His children were named respectively: William, Joel, Mary, Malinda, Lucinda, Hester, Elizabeth and Michael. With the exception of Hester, all are married. William, our subject spent his early years after the manner of most farmer?s sons, and received a practical education in the common school. He was a youth of more than ordinary intelligence, and developed into a teacher, which profession he followed several terms. Upon reaching his majority, Mr. Brown started out in life for himself, choosing farming for his life vocation. In 1855 he purchased eighty acres of land upon which he has since maintained his residence. His industry and good judgment brought him the reward of prosperity, and as his capital accumulated, he invested it in land, and is now the owner of four hundred and forty broad acres, and of quality as choice as any to be found in the Buckeye State. The year following the purchase of his land Mr. Brown was married, October 15, 1856, to Miss Jane Mitchell, the wedding taking place at the bride ?s home in Madison County. Mrs. Brown was born in Pike Township, Madison County, this State, February 19, 1837, to Abijah F. and Margaret Ann (Standley) Mitchell. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell were among the earliest settlers of Madison County and endured all the toil and privation incident to life in a new country. Mr. Mitchell opened up a farm in the wilderness, making for himself and family a comfortable home. The mother died September 16, 1876, the father makes his home with our subject. Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Brown, the eldest of whom, a daughter Maude, died August 1, 1873, at the age of eleven years. The survivors are Walter A., Myrtie E. and Nellie R. In politics Mr. Brown is an uncompromising Democrat--a man of decided views, and one who is not easily turned from his convictions. Mrs. Brown is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

1160	William Herron shows up in the 1880 Philadelphia City Census, aged 11, living with parents Patrick and Mary Herron. Both of them are shown as age 40 and having been born in Ireland. I am unable to determine where or when they came into the U.S. I believe their ancestors originated in Holland, then Scotland, then Ireland before coming to the U.S. William is the only child I'm aware of. I have a date of birth of 12 Nov 1869. We believe this was William Howard Herron Senior, but I have no written proof. Senior probably came to Oklahoma because of his work with the railroad. There are instances of other family members in the Oklahoma City area in the 1910s. He was a Freemason and a member of the Oklahoma City #1 lodge. He had one son with Ada...William Howard Herron Jr. Jr. was born 03 Aug 1920 in Oklahoma City. William Senior was killed on 05 Mar 1932. He was walking along the top of a freight train that was moving through the switch yard in Oklahoma City. Somehow he tripped and fell in between the cars, and was decapitated as the train ran over him. William Jr. talked about going to his father's funeral at age 12...his mother (Ada) told him to go and kiss his father goodbye in the casket. When he did, he saw that his father's head had no body attached to it. Junior was also a Freemason and attended funerals as a part of his service, but he hated them. Junior also took medication to help him get through the funerals. by William Howard Herron III	Herron, William Howard Senior (I4337)
1161	William Howard Herron Junior was born 03 Aug 1920 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to WH Herron and Ada F Holcomb, both of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The birth certificate also states that Ada has one additional child. That must have been from the Ripley marriage. He spent most of his life in and around Oklahoma City. He married Marguerite Elizabeth Kenney (born 01 Nov 1924, Hastings, Nebraska; died 03 Mar 1985, Lowry City, Missouri) around 1941. Junior served with the U.S. Army Air Corps in World War II. He was stationed with the 8th Air Force, 457th Bomb Group (Heavy) in Glatton, England. He was a navigator flying on the B-17. I have documentation that he flew 7 or 8 missions, and discussed the missions with his plane captain and another crewmember to confirm details. He was injured during a bombing run over Germany when shrapnel entered the plane from below...he was wounded in his butt. A scar, but no long-term damage. He left as a 2nd Lieutenant. He was recalled for the Korean War, and was ordered to the Asian theater but didn't get there. He spent much of the Korean War as a motor pool manager in Fort Worth, Texas. He did not speak of his war experiences within the family. He worked for Sooner Box Company in Oklahoma City for many years. (His wife's father owned the company.) He also ran Thunderbird Labels, a printing company in Oklahoma City. He was a Freemason, and had earned the 32nd Degree. He moved to Rockaway Beach, Missouri early in the 1980s. He lived there until his wife's death in March of 1985, and then returned to Oklahoma City to be near his son's family. He died 26 Sep 1985 in Yukon, Oklahoma, in his son's home. The official cause of death was respiratory failure and carcinoma of the lung. (The family noted that it was almost six months since his wife had died, and believes he died of a broken heart.) by William Herron	Herron, William Howard Junior (I5602)
1162	WILLIAM ZEIGLER of Crawford County Georgia 1799 - 1855 Although he lived most of his life in Crawford County, Georgia, William Zeigler chose to be buried in the prestigious Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, Bibb County, Georgia on Magnolia Ridge block 2 lot 9. In his will, he left detailed instructions for an elaborate burial site to be constructed by his nephew and executor John Washington Dent (who lived in Crawford County and married Elizabeth Hoy, daughter of James Hoy). Outside the vault which was built into the hillside along the Ocmulgee River, a separate monument was inscribed: "William Zeigler Born Nov. 18th 1799 Died June 11th 1855 He was born in Orangeburg District South Carolina whence he removed to Georgia in the year 1827 and resided in Crawford County where he was respected and esteemed by many friends during his life of usefulness. He lies here at his special request. May he rest in peace." William was the son of Nicholas Zeigler (born circa 1765 in South Carolina and died 20 January 1841 in Autauga County, Alabama) and his unknown first wife. On 4 February 1820 in Richland County, South Carolina, Nicholas Zeigler gave each of his children at that time a Deed of Gift. Nicholas named two slaves, Sy and Phebe, to be given to William when he "attained the age of twenty-one." In 1827, Nicholas and most of his family left South Carolina for Georgia and eventually Autauga County, Alabama. William stayed in Georgia. William Zeigler had three siblings: Catherine (born 10 May 1797 in South Carolina and died 3 June 1834 at William's home in Crawford County) who married William Dent of South Carolina; Henry (born 1802 in South Carolina) who married Nancy Zeigler; and Lewis (born 1803 in South Carolina) who married Sarah (Sally) Zeigler. Henry and Lewis moved to Autauga County, Alabama. Catherine and her husband William Dent later separated. Catherine lived with her brother William while her estranged husband lived in Madison County, Tennessee with Hepsobah Gartman from South Carolina with whom he had three daughters. There is no evidence that William Zeigler ever married. He was listed on the 1820 Census of Edgefield District, South Carolina with no family and 9 slaves. He was listed in the 1830 Census of Crawford County living with an older male and 25 slaves. In the 1840 Census of Crawford County, he had 67 slaves. In the 1840 tax roll, he had 405 acres in Crawford County and 40 acres in Cherokee County. In the 1850 Census of Crawford County, he was listed as a Planter with property valued at $40,110. It is said that he had three plantations. Upon his death in 1855, William left cash gifts totaling $432,500 (the equivalent of $11,479,945.51 in 2015). In his will dated 28 July 1854 in Crawford County, William directed "that the colored children of my Woman Slave Mary, be taken to a state where the laws thereof will tolerate their Manumission." Each child was also given $30,000, and Mary received $10,000 as well as her manumission. Because of his generosity and concern for her children William Henry, Malinda Ann, and Octavius, we can assume that William was their father. (Under Georgia law from 1750 until 1967, whites were banned from marrying all non-whites.) The will also directed that his other slaves be sold in family groups. William's will directed that John Washington Dent, the son of his sister Catherine, receive five slaves and several pieces of property. William Dent, a great nephew and the oldest son of John, received $500 which was perhaps a namesake gift. After his other properties were sold and his debts paid, the remainder of William's estate was to be divided among his siblings who eventually realized $80,000 each. As his sister Catherine had predeceased him, the will stated that her share be divided among her four children: Mary (Polly) Caroline Dent May, Jane Ann Dent White, John Washington Dent and Mary Ann Dent Early. William's will specifically excluded his half-siblings from heirship. John Washington Dent followed the directions of his uncle's will and took Mary and her children to Batavia, Clermont County, Ohio. An unknown friend penned William's obituary saying, "In his business habits he was very attentive and economical, whereby he was enabled in twenty-eight years to increase his capitol from ten thousand to three hundred thousand dollars; thus furnishing indubitable evidence that a farmer may become rich. In his dealings he was strictly honest. In times of scarcity he would bid the rich and monied, who wished to buy provisions of him, to go to a distance and buy; that they had money and credit and could buy anywhere, and submit to the inconveniences and expense of transporting or carriage; that many of his neighbors had neither money nor credit, and that they must have corn and meat; thus he was a benefactor to the less fortunate. He never attached himself to any Church, but his faith was right. Over a year ago he remarked to the writer of this notice, that he relied upon the mercy of his Maker, and hoped for salvation through the merit's of the Redeemer's blood."	Zeigler, William (I54)
