WILLIAM CALLAND, SR., was born Mar. 8,
1784, in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. It was his misfortune to
be born of a race that was poor and needy, with no prospect of
future elevation. But, "where there's a will, there's a
way." With wife and three children, he set sail for
America in 1817, determined to leave forever the scenes of
oppression and tyranny. The trip over the great deep was
of three month's duration. They landed at Philadelphia,
and came to Columbia, on the Susquehanna, in the autumn of the
same year. Here they wintered, Mr. Calland working
for about and hoe firm (he was a shoemaker), and Mrs. Calland
binding shoes for the same firm. In the spring of 1818, he
purchased a horse and wagon to remove their goods, consisting of
one chest, weighing 900 pounds, and one of less weight,
containing provisions. They crossed the mountains, Mrs.
C. carrying her infant State, where they resided eleven
years. They came to this township in 1829, and settled on
Section 14. Nine children were born to them, of whom six
survive. Mr. Calland accumulated considerable
property, a portion of which is still owned by his posterity.
Three of his sons - Samuel, Joseph and Gershom -
are extensive landholders in this township, and enjoy the
reputation of being honest and Christian-like in their demeanor.
William resides in Harrison Township. The father
left for "that better land" Jan. 8, 1864; his wife followed Mar.
15, 1869. Recently, his posterity had reached 110 - 32
dead - a very good showing. Politically, he was a firm
Abolitionist, having cast his ballot for the first candidate of
that complexion ever presented to the voters of this township.

ASA M. CHENEY,
farmer; P. O. Mechanicsburg; one of the prominent citizens and
early settlers of Goshen Township; was born within a mile of his
present place, in 1820; he descends from the Virginia stock, his
father, William C., and his mother, Elizabeth (Kirkley)
Cheney, both being natives of Virginia; William was a
native of Harrison Co., born Oct. 28, 1775, and was a son of
Thomas and Keturah Cheney, the former born in Virginia in
1742, and the latter in 1748; he was married in about 1800 and
in 1801, pioneered his way into the wilds of Ohio, locating in
Goshen Township, where he purchased 200 acres of land of Gen.
McArthur; on this he erected his log cabin and began
frontier life; he was a farmer by occupation, and toiled out the
remainder of his days here, his death occurring Feb. 6, 1856,
and that of his wife in March, 1871, at the advanced age of 89
years. Our subject was the youngest of a family of seven
sons and three daughters; he was brought up on a farm and has
made farming his life occupation; in this, by dint of hard
labor, economy and a good foresight in business, he has been
eminently successful; beginning in a small 2ay, he has added to
his possessions till he now has nearly nine hundred acres of
land, joining on Mechanicsburg. In 1850, he made a trip to
California across the plains, arriving there Aug. 18 of the same
year; he stopped ten days in Salt Lake City; his object being to
secure the precious metal, he began operations in Weavers
Creek, which he continued for a short time, and then with others
established a ranche in Auburn Ravine, where he passed the
ensuing winter. I n the spring, he went to the St. Joe Bar, on
the North Yuba, and there engaged in mining till the fall of
1853, when he embarked for home, returning by the Nicaraguan
route and New Orleans, arriving home Jan. 15, 1854. This
trip was attended with fair financial success. His views
and sentiments concerning the polity of his country incline him
toward the Republican party; but, in exercising his voting
privilege, he uses his own judgment, and votes for the man whom
he thinks best fitted for the office, regardless of party ties.
He married Martha Coffey, of this township, in
September, 1867. Four sons and one daughter have been the
issue of this union.

JONATHAN CHENEY
(deceased). To the subject of this sketch we are pleased
to accord a place in the biographical album of this work.
He was born in August, 1816, in Union Township, Champaign Co.,
and was prominently identified with the history of the county.
As far back as his paternal ancestors can be traced, they
inhabited the Isle of Man. In about 1770, Thomas Cheney
and four sons - Thomas, William, Joseph and Ebenezer
emigrated from the Isle of Man to America, locating in
Massachusetts. The father and three sons were engaged in
the battle of Bunker in Massachusetts. The father and
three sons were engaged in the battle of Bunker Hill, in which
the former, then a man of about 70 summers, was killed by a
chain-shot. Thomas, Jr., emigrated to Harrison Co.,
Va., where he reared a family of sons and daughters, four sons
of whom - William, Benjamin (the father of our subject),
Jonathan and Ebenezer - became pioneers to
Champaign Co. Benjamin was married to Sarah
Cochran, a native, also, of Harrison Co., Va., from where
they immediately emigrated to Ohio, locating in Champaign Co. in
about 1808. The journey was made on horseback, bringing
all their meager earthly possessions with them.
Benjamin inherited nothing but an honest name, good business
habits and a vigorous intellect. His the early records of
the county. As a member of the State Legislature for
twelve-years, he discharged his duties with fidelity and
commendable zeal. He was possessed of more than ordinary
business sagacity, and accumulated, before his death, a large
landed estate, consisting of nearly 2,000 acres. He never
moved from his first location his death occurring there in 1834,
and that of his wife and one son about the same time, all dying
of typhoid fever. In his death, the community recognized
the loss of a valuable citizen and useful member of society.
He had seven sons and one daughter, of whom our subject was the
fifth child. His entire life was passed upon the farm on
which he was born. He was early taught the art and dignity
of farming, and, as regards integrity, business habits and a
vigorous intellect, his fathers mantle fell upon him. In
his life, he was honored as a good and useful member of society,
ever found interested in whatever pertained to the common
welfare. He filled with the strictest integrity numerous
offices of honor and trust; was two years a member of the State
Legislature, and for twelve or fifteen years Justice of the
Peace. He possessed many sterling characteristics, his
devotion to the right being fearless. His life was given
principally to farming and stock-raising. In 1836, he
married Rachel, daughter of John W. and Eleanor
(Duval) Williams, by whom he had eight sons and three
daughters; one son and two daughters deceased. He died
Mar, 6, 1864, lamented by all who knew him. His son, J.
H. Cheney, was born Dec. 1, 1839, in Union Township; was
reared on a farm, and has made farming his life occupation.
Aug. 14, 1860, he married Beatrice Tullis, a
native of Goshen Township, and a descendant of early settlers ;
he lived in Union and Goshen Townships till about five years
ago, when he moved to his present place in Mechanicsburg.
He served a time in the late civil war. Mr. and Mrs.
Cheney have three sons and one daughter.

LEWIS COOK was born
in Vermont in 1777. Here he lived until twenty-one years
of age, when he removed to the Western part of New York, where
he remained until 1812. Up to this time, he had enjoyed a life
of single blessedness, but now, at the age of thirty-five,
concluded that it was not well for man to live alone, and took
unto himself a helpmate in the person of Miss Annie
Peck. A short time after, accompanied by his bride
and father-in-law, he started down the Ohio on a flat-boat.
The party landed at Cincinnati, and the men obtained employment
with Gen. Harrison. In 1816, he and his
brother-in-law, Earthman Warren, emigrated to this
township with their families, and settled on Section 13.
Upon their arrival, they saw nothing but a dense mass of forest
trees. They proceeded at once to erect a place of abode.
A large oak was cut down, poles were placed in the ground
parallel with the fallen tree, and the two were connected by a
roof of boughs and some lumber which they were fortunate enough
to obtain. Deer were roaming through the woods in large
numbers, but were never molested by Cook, he being no
hunter. He was very poor, and exerted himself night and
day in endeavoring to retain the land permanently. His
wife died in 1823, and, two years after, he was united with
Bodaisa Fay. She died in 1880. In 1832,
he again took unto himself a wife, Mary Hartwell
being the chosen one. In after years, he sold the old
homestead, and, with his son Lewis, took a trip to
Illinois. While there, he was taken suddenly ill, and
erelong was a corpse. He was buried where he died.
His wife also died while on a visit to the same State some years
after. Three children survive, viz., Percy (wife of
George Enock, now a resident of Kansas), Calvin
(who possesses the home farm) and Louisa (wife of
Nicholas Shafer, residing in this county).

to the present generation, deserve a niche in the temple of
history. The husband is the son of Thomas Cowgill Sr.,

County, and the daughter of Joshua Antrim. They are
ministers of the Friends' Church, and in years past have resided
on their farm, west at Mingo. In June, 1876 they left
their native country to visit churches of their denomination in
different parts of Europe. They labored nine months in
Ireland and Scotland, then crossing the German Ocean, spent some
weeks in Norway, visiting the humble Norwegian in his hut and
partaking of his hospitality; then, crossing the Skager Rack,
they spent some time in Denmark, visiting a few members of their
church; then through the Prussian dominion; saw the very old
cities of Altona, Hanover and Hamburg. Next, they traveled
in Germany and Holland, and at length reached London in August,
1877. Then, in the northern part of England and Wales they
spent nine months, receiving marked recognition at the hands of
the dignitaries of the church and State. They re-embarked
for home April 16, 1878, and reached their native heath May 5.
They now reside at Camp Chase, near Columbus.
Thomas Cowgill, Sr., was a native of Virginia;
his wife, Sarah Antrim, was of the same State. They
were members of the Friends' Church. They came to Ohio and
settled in Columbiana County in 1801. In 1817, they came
to Champaign County and settled in the western part of Wayne

was for many years a Trustee of the township and sustained a
high reputation for honesty. His family consisted of seven
sons and four daughters - Henry, Daniel, Thomas, Joseph,
Levi, John and Eli. the daughters were Ann,
Susannah, Sarah and Lydia. Of these only
Daniel, Thomas, John and Eli survive. These
sons and daughters of this early pioneer became staid citizens
of the country. They adhered to the doctrine of the church
in which they had a birthright. Thomas A. Cowgill,
a grandson of this subject, served the county as Representative
in the State Legislature repeatedly, and was made Speaker of the
House of Representatives of the Sixty-fourth General Assembly.
