ANDREW BARTH, Crawford
township, New Bedford postoffice; retired farmer; born
December 13, 1811, in Wurtemburg, Germany; son of Frederick
and Eve (Long) Barth. After completing the usual school
course, at fourteen he went to the tailor's trade, which he
followed until he came to America, in August, 1838. He landed
at Baltimore, Maryland, and by way of Philadelphia went to
Pittsburgh, where he worked on the Beaver and Erie canal with
a lot of Irishmen, who, not affiliating with him, treated him
very unkindly. Being a stranger, in a foreign land, entirely
destitute of money or friends, he endured this rather than
beg, and by perseverance, honesty and industry, obtained a
good farm, the rent of which affords him ample means to live
free from labor in his old age, at a good public house. He
worked at his trade (tailoring) in many towns in eastern Ohio,
among them Zoar, where he was married in 1840, to
Miss
Catharine, daughter of
Christian Ceogle. The fruit of this
marriage was four children, Rachel, Christian
Frederick,
Andrew and John; all dead except
Christian Frederick, who is
the head of a large family of children. Mr. Barth lost his
help-mate July 20, 1880. Being left alone, he has now a
pleasant home at the Commercial hotel, its genial host being
Charles C. Hinkle.

SAMUEL BURNS, the
progenitor of the present Burns family; was born in
Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, Mar. 12, 1770. Of
his parents, nothing is known more than they were of
Scotch-Irish origin, and come to this country at an early
date, and he made his home with them until his seventeenth
year. He had three brothers, James, John and
William, all of whom served in the war of the
revolution. William died in the service, of
camp-fever. John was taken prisoner at Quebec,
and he and two others made their escape by approaching one
of the sentinels, on the walls, to whom they offered an
empty bottle to take a drink. As he tipped the bottle
up John Burns struck him under the chin, and knocked
him off the walls. They then made their escape across
the frozen river, enduring terrible sufferings from hunger
and exposure, before reaching the American army.
SAMUEL BURNS, when fourteen years of age, came
to Wheeling Creek, West Virginia, and from thence to
Pittsburgh, where he took passage on a boat to New Orleans.
He related that on his passage down the river there were but
two river settlements on the Ohio, one at Marietta and one
at a place called Limestone. Arriving at New Orleans,
he took passage on an ocean ship and sailed for
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Arriving there he went to
Pine Grove Iron Furnace, near Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where
he remained until married in the 1792 to Mrs. Jane
Lambertson, and moved to Millerstown, Shenandoah county,
Virginia. He then worked for four years learning the
hatter's trade. He then moved to Waynesburg, Augusta
county, Virginia, where he lived for a period of seventeen
years. He then came to New Philadelphia, Ohio, in the
fall of 1815, where he remained until April, 1816, when he
came to Coshocton, coming down the Tuscarawas river in a
canoe with his family, where he followed his trade until old
age rendered him unable to endure the hardships of that
trade. He also served as Justice of the Peace for many
years, and was familiarly known as "Squire Burns."
He died Sept. 21, 1852.
Jane Burns, his wife, whose maiden name was
Jane Leggett, was born near Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in
the year 1767; was first married to Richard Lamberson,
grandfather of Samuel Lambertson, of this city.
He being killed at a raising near Bedford, Pennsylvania, she
returned to her father's, where she remained until she was
married to Samuel Burns, as before stated. Her
father was born in Ireland and sold for his passage to this
country. Her mother was born near Little York,
Pennsylvania, and was of Pennsylvania Dutch descent, her
maiden name being Sarah Yost. Jane Burns
died Nov. 29, 1845, being 78 years old. She was the
mother of ten children, three of whom died at an early age.
The eldest of the family was Mary Burns Crowley, born
Feb. 5, 1796. She married John Crawley, Sr. of
this place, and was the mother of four children, one of whom
is one of our prominent grocerymen, John Burns Crawley.
She died Feb. 24, 1834.
JOSEPH BURNS, SR., was born
Mar. 11, 1800, in Waynesburgh, Augusta county, Virginia.
He was sixteen years of age when he came to this county.
He, and the rest of the family, with the exception of his
mother and youngest sister, walked the whole distance from
Waynesboro' to New Philadelphia. He early showed a
dislike for his father's trade, and, when eighteen years of
age, wrote for General Adam Johnson, then clerk and
auditor of this county. In 1821 he was elected county
auditor, which office he held until 1838, when he resigned,
having been elected a member of the State Legislature,
serving in that capacity from 1838-40. In 1843 he was
elected county clerk, which office he filled a term of eight
years. In 1857 he was elected congressman from this
district, where he served his country for two years.
He then engaged in the drug business in the town of Roscoe,
where he remained in business until elected probate judge in
the year 1869. He remained in said office until his
death, which occurred May 9, 1875. When the old State
militia was in order he was a prominent officer, having been
elected to the rank of major general, and was known by all
as General Burns. At the close of the war he
was made a pension agent, and was, perhaps, the most
successful person holding that office here. Never
exacting as to fees, and always free with his purse among
his friends and fellow-citizens, he left at the end of his
days only a moderate portion. Many men, with more
greed, or less honest or frugal, would have amassed fortunes
with his opportunities. He was twice married, his
first wife was Rebecca Lewis, and his second wife was
Mrs. Alexander Hay. His oldest son, William,
was educated at West Point, and was, during the late war, a
brigadier general. He had, in all, six sons and two
daughters, five of those and his widow survive him.
WILLIAM BURNS, the only surviving one of the
Burns brothers, was born in Waynesboro', Virginia,
Dec. 20, 1802, and came to this county with his father's
family. In the fall of 1816, December 4, he commenced
carrying the United States mail to Zanesville, Freeport,
Harrison county, and Mt. Vernon, for his father. On
the road to Freeport (at the head of White Eyes plains),
there was but one house to the distance of twenty-one miles.
On the ridge road to Mt. Vernon, after leaving lower Roscoe,
there was a distance of fifteen miles without one house.
He served at this for about one year. When his brother
Joseph left, he took his place in the hatter shop, and
followed the trade until 1842, when, owning to large
importations of hats on the canal, brought from eastern
cities, and sold at lower prices than they could be made
here, he quit the trade and engaged in farming. He
followed this occupation until the year 1856. Being
desirous of living an easier life, he quit farming, and has
since been living a retired life in this city. He was
married twice. His first wife was Mary McGuire,
who died in 1844, two years after marriage. He was
again married Dec. 17, 1856, to Eleanor M. Ferguson,
of Roscoe, daughter of Mathew Ferguson, of that
place. He had, in all, two children, one of which
died. William Burns, Jr., his only son, is now
engaged in the business of a watchmaker and jeweler.
Was born June 29, 1859, in Coshocton, Ohio. William
Burns, Sr., is now in his seventy-eighth year, and
enjoying good health. He is regarded as one of the
most prominent pioneers of the county.
SARAH BURNS, fifth child of Samuel and Jane
Burns, was born Sept. 28, 1804. She was never
married, making her home, with her brother, William Burns,
and at time of death, and some time prior, with her younger
sister, Mrs. James Hay. She died in the year
1867, July 27, of cancer of the breast, of which disease she
suffered many years.
JOHN BURNS, was born in Waynesboro', Virginia,
Sept. 18, 1805. He came to this county with his
father's family, and worked at the hatter's trade until
twenty-four years of age, when he went to Chillicothe with
his brother-in-law, John Smeltzer, where he remained
one year, he then came to Roscoe, and clerked with
Smeltzer and his successors, (Medberry & Ransom)
until 1838, when he was made a partner, under the name of
Medberry, Burns & Co. In 1840 he retired from the
firm and entered into partnership with Samuel Moffatt,
for the sale of dry goods. In 1845, Moffatt
retired and the firm was changed to Burns & Le Retilley,
and remained so until 1860, when he bought Le Retilley
out and continued to do business in his own name until his
death. He was married in1837, to Rachel Retilley,
by whom he had four children, one son and three daughters,
the eldest daughter being the wife of one of our prominent
attorneys, J. M. Compton. All his children and
his widow still survive him. He died July 30, 1871.
His good sense and his integrity were marked qualities.
Thoroughly interested in public affairs, and always a
zealous partizan, and ready to help his friends to public
office, he never had any desire in that direction for
himself, and it is believed, never held any official
position. He was a pains-taking and successful
business man.
NANCY BURNS (SMELTZER) was born Aug. 20, 1807,
in Waynesboro', Virginia. In 1826 she was married to
John Smeltzer, afterward of Troy, Ohio. Her
husband was elected a member of the legislature of 1827-8,
afterward engaging in the firm of Medberry & Ransom.
She removed to Roscoe and lived there a few years. She
then moved to Troy, Ohio, where her husband died. she
then moved to Lima, Ohio, where she now resides. She
was the mother of four children, only one, a daughter, now
living, and with whom she makes her home.
JANE BURNS (HAY) was born in Waynesboro',
Virginia, Aug. 25, 1811. She was married to James
Hay in 1834 and is the mother of six children, two of
whom are now living, her daughter Sarah being married
to the late James Wilson, a prominent business man.
She has been lately bereaved of her husband, who died Sept.
24, 1881. A noteworthy fact of the Burns family
is, they all reached a ripe old age, and are all highly
respected for their integrity and good sense.
