Virginia and Somerest, Perry Co. Ohio. 12 Sarah 6 Windsor, (Jonathan 5, Joseph 4,3,2, Jarvis 1), the daughter of Jonathan Windsor. She was born the 11 November 1796, in Fauquier Co. Virginia, and died 9 April 1868, at Somerset, Perry Co. Ohio, of lung fever (pneumonia), aged 71. She was a housewife. Lived in Virginia and Ohio. She had seven children, at the time of her death four were living. She married Colonel John W. Law, on 10 April 1823, in Frederick Co. Virginia, (bondsman Samuel Grubbs). His parents are not known, but possibly he is a son of Isaac Law who lived in Franklin Co. Pennsylvania at the time of the 1800 census. He was born 6 November 1801, in Franklin Co. Pennsylvania, and died 24 July 1878, at Somerset, Perry Co. Ohio, aged 76. He was a farmer. John and Sarah Law divorced in 1861, in Perry Co. Ohio. THE SOMERSET ADVOCATE, 12 April 1868, obituary, "Died in Somerset, O. of Lung Fever on the 9th inst., Mrs. Sallie Law, aged 71 years 4 mos and 29 days. She was born in Fauquier Co. Va. Nov. 11th 1796, united in marriage with Col. John Law in Frederick Co. Va. April 20th 1823, and removed to Ohio in 1828; since which time she resided in Somerset. She was a kind and affectionate wife, mother, friend, and neighbor; truly a good woman hath gone from our midst. Three children have preceeded her to the spirit land. Four remain to grieve at her departure, sorrowing, but comforted by the assurance that God will supply all need, according to his riches in glory. For many years she was bowed down with painful bodily infirmities, but she bore her afflictions with christian patience, fortitude and resignation. Her last illness was of short duration, and was apparently without suffering. For her "to die was gain." She was ready to obey the summons, "Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." She died, as she had lived, a consistent christian, strong in faith and hope of a "blessed immortality beyond the grave." She realized the presence of the "Divine comforter" as she passed through the dark valley. The riches of free grace, and the glories of the eternal work, were evidently fore-shadowed to her. "He maketh me rich," were her dying words. "Verily, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have ye entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." THE SOMERSET PRESS, 1 August 1878, obituary, "Mr. John Law was born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, on the 6th of November 1801.

The job of a Marshall is basically to keep the public order, make arrests, put people in jail if necessary. Sam was a popular man in Somerset, and was voted Marshall. Soon after Sam took office there was a situation that got completely out of control, with traumatic results. On the afternoon of 22 October 1891 a drunk man and woman got on the street, causing a commotion. It was actually more the sight of a drunken woman in public that made all the fuss. Marshall Law came to the scene and told them, get off of the street. But the man and woman being drunk, argued with Sam, and more people came, some of the drunk too, but soon the man and woman left and went around the corner. By this time, Jehu Dick, one of the local boys, and himself drunk, had begun to argue about the right of the Marshall to interfere in what Jehu conseider harmless fun. Sam had no interest to defend himself as Marshall, and Jehu was persisten, and an argument began which heated up. Basically Marshall said, Jehu to stay out of it, then the Marshall walked away. But Jehu was wounded by the Marshalls attitude, and following the Marshall and with his hands began to make threatening gestures and threats. The Marshall decided to arrest Jehu. Jehu scuffled with the Marshall. The Marshall wanted to use his billy club on Jehu, but decided against it, and continued to scuffle with him while trying to get his handcuffs out of his pocket. At this point an Assistant Marshall ran to help Marshall Law. By this time Jehu had grabbed the Marshalls billy club and was hitting the Marshall with it, knocking him about eight or ten feet into a sitting position. The deputy went in to grab Jehu but got knocked down also. Satisfied that he had put the Marshall in his place Jehu then went down the street. He met up with the drunk man and woman who incited him to have another drink and go back and teach that Marshall another lesson. All the ruckus between Jehu and the Marshall had gathered a crowd which the Marshall was dealing with when Jehu suddenly returned, threatening again. The Marshall again put Jehu under arrest, and another fight broke out. The Marshall asked bystanders for help, but several of the other drunks threatened those who tried help, so no one did. Then those drunks also began to help Jehu fight the Marshall and the Assistand Marsahll. Finally the Marshall said to Jehu, I am going to shoot you if you resist arrest and the Marshall pulled out his gun and pointed it at Jehu. Jehu then attacked the Marshall and was holding both the Marshalls arms when the revolver went off and shot Jehu in the stomach. Even after being shot Jehu continued to fight with the Marshall and the Deputy but he was bleeding badly and growing weak and the Marshall and Assistant Marshall manged to carried Jehus toward the jail. Finally Jehu passed out from lack of blood. Dr. Hayes was called, but an artery had been damaged and Jehu bled to death in front of the jail. THE SOMERSET PRESS, 17 June 1897, "Samuel T.
