Greetings: Jacob Delaney, farmer and stock-raiser; he was born in Perry Co., Penn., Jan 20, 1821; his father came to Ohio about 1828; the subject of this sketch attended the schools of the county, but, as the county was new his advantages for education were limited; he was put to work while young, learning the carpenter's trade with James Crawford, working at this business for nineteen years; he purchased his present farm in 1848, where he has since resided; he started in the world without a dollar, and, by economy and industry, has a beautiful home, with the comforts of life. Mr. Delaney was married to Sarah Crawford Jan. 4, 1843; they have had seven children, six living; Mrs. Delaney died March 18, 1876; his son Merit died June 6, 1876; he was a bright and promising young man. Mr. Delaney is now married to Mrs. Ellen Jane Douglass. <A HREF="http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Richland/RichlandCass.htm">http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Richland/RichlandCass.htm</A> 1880 Census finds: J.
