Biography

Uriah Springer was born on 31 Mar 1780 in Uniontown, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania,[1] one of thirteen children of Nathan and Hannah McDaniel Springer.
On 30 July 1799, he married Nancy Long in Brown County. She would bear him eleven children.[2]
A local historian has written of him: "Uriah Springer, when he first came to Ohio, settled near where Ripley now is. He married Nancy Long, daughter of William Long, and there were born to them Hannah, Nathan, William, Joseph, Zadoc, Levi, Drucilla, Nancy, Uriah, Theresa and Mahala. When he came to what is now Franklin Township, he settled on the farm where Isaac Waters now lives, where he lived for many years. After the close of the War of 1812, he made a trip across the State on horseback, after the late James Bunner, who had been discharged from the army but, on account of ill heath, was unable to reach home. Bunner worked for him afterward, and off-bore the brick for the house which he shortly afterward built. This and the house where M.A. Courts now lives, built by John Lindsey about the same time, were the first brick houses built in the township. Mr. Springer was elected Justice of the Peace in 1822 and served as such officer, and as one of the Township Trustees for many years. He and all his family went to Illinois. Jacob Springer, brother of Uriah, settled on the farm on which J. W. Barnes now lives. John Springer settled on the opposite side of the creek."[3]Lindsey's of Brown County, Ohio>EARLY SETTLEMENT> Philip Lindsey section. Cit. Date: 24 Nov 2012. [4]
