I have a Biographical Sketch on an Ezekial Arrowsmith that just happened to be on the same page that I copied on my own line. Thought I would send it out to the person looking for info on The Arrowsmith Name. Ezekiel Arrowsmith: farmer, Sec 30; P. O. Arrowsmith; owns 240 acres of fine farming land, worth $40 per acre. The subject of this sketch was born in Ross Co., Ohio, Oct. 31, 1811: Lived with his father on the farm, engaged in farming, until 29 years of age; went to Indiana, stayed one summer and returned to Ohio. He was married to Hannah M. Harrison Feb 18, 1835, who was born in Bucks Co., Penn., Dec. 18, 1818 and died Feb 14, 1840; the result of the marriage was four children - Mary C. (now wife of Samuel T. Bane), Elizabeth E., Samuel D and Matilda; the former is the only one living. Mr. Arrowsmith was then married to Mary A. Simpson Sept. 26, 1841; she was born in Ross Co., Ohio Dec 23, 1814; the fruit of this marriage was seven children-- Sarepta, James A., Eliza J., ; deceased -- Martha, Melissa, Asa And Armelia. Mr Arrowsmith has held the office of County Commissioner three years, Justice of the Peace four years, Supervisor of Township four years, and School Director Twenty Years. He was among the first settlers in this township. The township, post office and town of Arrowsmith were all named after him his being the first vote ever cast in the township. Mr Arrowsmith is one of the most benevolent men in this county; he is regarded as a public benefactor in this township, where he still resides. Hope this helps someone. Leslie Maurice :)
