He married Elizabeth Beatty. ubject: Re: House/Beatty/Anderson Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2000 11:41:24 -0800 (PST) From: h3034@webtv.net (Harriette Philips) To: donavan@netins.net In 1806 James Anderson and his father Thomas Anderson sold Anderson's Bottom, the family plantation on the south bank of the North Branch Potomac River about five miles south of Cumberland, Maryland to Daniel Collins. The property was in Hampshire County at the time. They moved to Lancaster, Ohio where Thomas died soon after they arrived. James' son James M. was born there. As I said before I do not know where he married Elizabeth Beatty but it could have been in either state. I would expect Hampshire County in Virginia, then either Franklin or Fairfield County, Ohio. I also know that James and Priscilla did not remain in Ohio. In his latter years they moved to Clinton County, Indiana near his eldest son Levi and died October 24, 1844. Hs wife Priscilla House Anderson died Ausust 17, 1847 possibly in Marion. I have a letter from James to his son Thomas J. telling Thomas he had sugested to Priscilla she go to Marion with her son Thomas their second oldest offspring. Sorry I'm not more help about James M. but my information came down from my g grandfather James House Anderson, Thomas Jefferson Anderson's son. He knew his grand mother, and his uncles John and Hiram. James H. A. was the only son of his father's to leave children. If you can find Hiram, a methodist minister perhaps you may learn more about his siblings. Hiram was the next to last of James and Priscilla's children. I know Mahela James oldest daughter married and left a legacy but I don't have her married name and lost the contact I had with her contemporary descendants.

B., attorney at law in Washington C. H., has been actively engaged in the practice of his profession since the fal of 1884, and has his office in a pleasant suite of rooms in the Yeoman Block. We invite the reader’s attention to his portrait and the following sketch of his life. He is a native of Fayette County and was born February 7, 1860 on the farm which is still the home of his parents. His education was commenced in the district and public schools of Washington C. H., and completed in the Ohio Wesleyan university at Delaware. The legal profession proved so fascinating to the peculiar ability and mental acquirements of Mr. Zimmerman that he resolved to commence its study. Accordingly, he entered the law school at Cincinatti and was graduated in 1884, forming a partnership with J. B. Priddy. A branch office was opened at Mt. Sterling, Ohio, of which our subject afterward assumed entire charge. On the removal of mr. Priddy to the West in the spring of 1886, the connection was dissolved, since which time Mr. Zimmerman has conducted his practice alone. Although the law is his chosen profession and he considers faithful attention to his practice his first duty, Mr. Zimmerman, nevertheless, finds time for other interests, both of a public and private nature. He superintends the management of the farm which he owns in Fayette County and derives a good income from its rental. He is secretary of the Cincinatti Southern Loan Company and holds other positions of trust and honor. His library is one of the finest in the county and contains a large number of rare and valuable books of a general, as well as legal character, and he has also the finest collection of art works in the county. A biography of Mr. Zimmerman would be of little value to him did it not contain extended mention of his father, who has been one of the most enterprising citizens of Fayette County since he settled here in his early manhood. Obediah Zimmerman was born on Twin Creek, in Ross County, Ohio, October 14, 1811, and was the son of Andrew and Ruth (Taylor) Zimmerman, a native of Maryland. He received his education in the subscription schools of that early day and remained with his father, aiding in the work of developing the farm, until his marriage to Miss Nancy Simmons. He then purchased a tract of land in the southern part of Fayette County, near New Martinsburgh, and remained there until 1857, when he moved to union Township, this county, his present home, and began the task of clearing and cultivating the soil. After the death of his first wife, Obediah Zimmerman was married, May 14, 1850, to Elizabeth Jane, daughter of Isaac House. Her grandmother was an aunt of President James K. Polk. Six children were born of that union: Margaret Caroline, born March 18, 1851, became the wife of Albert P. Kilgore, of Fayette County, November 18, 1875; John Jefferson, who was born February 23, 1853, married Emma Fisher, February 21, 1882, and resides in Fayette County; isaac Newton, whose birth occurred June 10, 1855, is a farmer in this county; Amanda Ann, born April 2, 1857, became the wife of Ashley Wood, March 11, 1875; our subject was the next in order of birth; clara E. born May 22, 1862, was married February 21, 1882, to the Rev. joseph Griffeth, a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The father lived on the old farm until after the birth of three children, when he located at his present home, and here he and his faithful wife have lived and labored for thirty-five years. They are sincere members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mrs. Elizabeth Zimmerman was born november 24, 1825, and was reared to womanhood in the pioneer home which her father established in Fayette County in March, 1807. She is a devoted wife and mother, and ever upper-most in her thoughts are the interests of her husband and children. The maternal grandfather of our subject, Isaac House, was born november 3, 1847 (?), and died January 21, 1850. He removed from Shenandoah County, Va. to Ohio in 1807, and took up a tract of land, now a part of the Zimmerman homestead, when it was an entire wilderness, with the nearest neighbor three miles distant. His marriage united him with Mary Ann Winegardner, and took place in Fairfield County in March 1823. Mrs. House was born in pendleton County, Va., february 2, 1790, and died September 29, 1831. Four children were born of their union, namely; Elizabeth Jane, of whom mention has already been made; Charity Ann, born March 1, 1827, is the wife of C. C. Plyly; Caroline, born September 14, 1828, is the wife of James G. Beatty, of Seldon; John, born April 25, 1831, died January 1, 1866. The last-named at his death left a widow and four children, as follows; L. F. House, M.D., of Adams County; Clara E. Seaburn, who resides in Fayette county; Allie E., Mrs. Langdon, and Ulysses S. who reads law in the office of our subject and passed his examination for admission to the Bar at Columbus, in October, 1891. There was an agreement in the Winegardner family that those who married were to have no share in the family estate, while those who remained single were to have the whole of the fortune. The last unmarried member of the family died recently, leaving an estate valued at more than $500,000, which reverted to the heirs of the family. They are known as one of the wealthiest and widely-known families of Fairfield County, and for generations have been identified with its growth. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
