Mahoning County Register ; Newspaper clipping dated 19 Sept. 1861: DIED "At his residence in Boardman, on Saturday, Sept. 14th, Jacob Simon, aged 75 years, 8 months and two days. The deceased was born in Washington county, Pa., in 1786, and removed to Ohio in 1803. He was married in Canfield, in 1811, and soon afterward settled on the farm in Boardman, where he has ever since resided--a period of fifty years--and where he has raised a family of nine children. He was confirmed a member of the Lutheran Church sixty years ago. As a citizen, a neighbor, and a Christian he was greatly respected."

History of Trumbull and Mahoning Counties : with illustrations and biographical sketches. (Cleveland: H. Z. Williams & Bro., 1882.) 2 vols. p. 85 / Image 126 of 722 Chapter III: Boardman … among those who came to Boardman as early as 1801, and from that time until 1810, were several families by the name of Simon, from Washington county, Pennsylvania. Of these, probably Adam Simon came first. He settled on the farm now owned by Michael Simon. Soon afterward came Jacob Simon. Michael Simon came a few years later with several sons and daughters, all of whom settled in the northern part of the township. Among his children were Adam, Peter, Jacob, Abraham and Henry. There were two Jacob Simons, Jacob, the son of Michael being known as “Schoolmaster Jake” — thus distinguishing from “Mill Creek Jake,” who settled farther to the westward. All of the Simons brought large families, and many of their descendants still reside here. George Zedaker and his son John came from Washington county, Pennsylvania, in 1802 or 1803. J. P. Zedaker, a son of John Zedaker, now lives upon the farm where they located. John Zedaker was a soldier in the War of 1812, and was the last survivor in Boardman of the soldiers of that war. He died several years ago.

Leanna, I agree that Charles Simon does not exist. I have a copy in English, of the "Boardman Dutch Church", Baptismal Register from 1816 - 1858, and Charles Simon does not appear any where in this document. All the other children of Jaacob & Elizabeth are there. You are correct that Hiram was a child of Stilling Simon, I believe that has been corrected. Absolem is indeed a Zurcher, I believe the confusion is due to Jacob & Elizabrth being the sponsors for his Baptism. I will do my best to straighten this out.

I question 3 of the children listed for Jacob Simon & Elizabeth Stemple.

Hiram E. Simon does not belong in the family of Jacob Simon & Elizabeth Stemple. He is the eldest son, 1847 - 1923, of Stilling Simon & Margaret Gentholtz.

I would love to see the proof that Absolem exists. I believe this person is manufactured from the 1850 Census of Mahoning Co., Ohio and the Family of Jacob Simon & wife Elizabeth. There are 3 people named after Jacob & Elizabeth. The first name, Selinda, is their daughter, still at home. The next 2 men are both laborer’s in the family. The first one has a confusing name, whether it’s Jesse or Pepe, or something else, & he’s age 30, so born in 1820. He is a Simon according to the ‘ditto’ marks for the surname. Well then that can’t be Jacob & Elizabeth’s son Jesse, since their Jesse was born & baptized in 1830. He’s only 20. So I’m not sure who that is. It’s possible the age is wrong, in which case he could be their son.

The last person of the group looks to have the given name: Absolem and a confusing surname: possibly Derlaker. I thought about it being Zedeker, since the Zedeker’s marry into the SIMON family, but there are no ditto marks to indicate his surname is Simon. I don’t know who this is and I don’t think his last name is SIMON. Jacob & Elizabeth are my 3 times great grandparents. I am not aware of anyone with this name being a child of theirs. The other 3 SIMON researchers I have known through the years were meticulous in their research, 2 lived in Mahoning County, and they were not aware of Jacob & Elizabeth having any child with a name like this. I don’t believe he fits in this family.

And last, a supposed child, Charles Simon, son of Jacob & Elizabeth. Would like to see the proof of this. I don’t have this Charles in my Simon database, so don’t know where he fits and couldn’t find him in any other database. The other SIMON researchers did not have him in Jacob & Elizabeth’s family.

To my knowledge and belief, and the belief of the other SIMON researchers, Jacob Simon & Elizabeth Stemple had 9 children, 5 boys, and 4 girls: David, Lydia, Delilah, my G-G-grandfather Levi, Stilling, Gideon, Salome, Selinde, and Jesse. If you got evidence of others, I’d love to see it.
