His parents, Richard and Ann (Bothamly) CONT Thew. were both natives of England, the former of Salsby, Lincolnshire, CONT and the latter of Boston. Mr. Thew was born May 3, 1789, and CONT Mrs. Thew in 1788. They crossed the ocean with their children in 1824, CONT landing at the port of New York. They first settled in Plymouth Township, CONT Richland Co., Ohio, where Mr. Thew entered 160 acres of land; on CONT this they resided until 1831. They were the parents of ten children, of CONT whom the following are living: William P., Henry, Martha (wife of Obadiah CONT Miller). Parkinson B. (of Marion) and Jessey (residing at Farmer City, CONT 111.) ; the deceased are John H., Joseph, Elizabeth (wife of Robert Douce) CONT and two others, deceased in infancy before immigrating to the United CONT States. These pioneers died only a few years after their immigration; CONT Mrs. Thew died first, her death occurring January 3, 1828; Mr. Thew died CONT in 1832. Mr. Thew, the subject of this notice, was a boy of twelve years CONT when his parents crossed the ocean. He obtained most of his education CONT in his native land; here his advantages were limited. He resided with CONT his father until the latter's death, and in 1834 came to Marion County. He CONT entered the forests of Claridon Township as a pioneer, and purchased a CONT farm, which he increased by subsequent additions until it now contains 262 CONT acres of valuable land; this farm he cleared mostly from its original state, CONT and all its excellent improvements are the fruits of Mr. Thew's unremitting CONT labor. The forests that covered the land of this township in 1831 have CONT since disappeared before the hand of the pioneer settlers, of whom Mr. CONT Thew is one of the remaining few; he has borne his part in the leading enter CONT prises and improvements of the township as well as in the labors and hardships CONT of the pioneer past. A public-spirited man, he contributed liberally CONT of his means to the enterprises that are intended to enrich the community. CONT He is a thorough and successful farmer, and has by his industry, perseverance CONT and economy acquired a reasonable competence. He served his township CONT as Trustee many years, and as Treasurer one year. Politically, he is CONT a Republican, and always takes a deep interest in the success of that party. CONT He is an active member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, with which he CONT has been prominently identified for a great many years; he served as Recording CONT Steward twenty-five years, and as Class-leader for a long period; CONT he is one of the principal membei's and supporters of the church, and to CONT all benevolent objects he is a liberal giver. He was married in Claridon CONT Township, October 3, 1839, to Miss Susan Davis, a daughter of Zephaniah CONT and Mary (Irey) Davis. They have had six children, viz., Ann, born June CONT 16, 1840, wife of James L. Bell, of Marion: Emeline, born March 18,1842, wife of Washington Harris, of Morrow County; Sarah E., born October CONT 10, 1844, wife of Jefferson Harris; Richard, born October 22, 1846, CONT hardware merchant at Caledonia; Ida, born August 16, 1849, wife of James CONT K. P. Weber; and Susan, born January 23, 1852, died September 10, 1852. CONT Mrs. Thew departed this life August 9, 1852. Mr. Thew was again married, CONT January 1, 1854, to Mrs. Charlotte (Cherry) Washburne, and their CONT children are William \Y., born January 18, 1855, and married Zella Taggart CONT August 1. 1883; and Lottie S., born April 29, I860, wife of Joseph A. CONT Fields. As a representative pioneer citizen of Claridon Township, we present CONT the portrait of Mr. Thew in this work.
