PETER FERENBAUGH,
Union township, farmer, post office Rossville, was born in
Germany, Jan. 1, 1810. He came to America in Sept. 1831,
with his brother, his father being dead. He came to New
York, then to Buffalo, then to Cleveland; he then settled in
Fairfield county for a few years, then came to Knox county,
Ohio, and settled on his present farm.
In 1845 he was married to Lena Whehond.
They have five children: Rosinda, born December, 1848;
Priscilla, Aug. 24, 1851; Eliza Ellen, Oct. 24, 1855;
Manvilla, Jul. 7, 1858; and Mary Francis, Apr. 12,
1862. All are married except Mary and Manville.
Peter Ferenbaugh learned to make clocks in Germany,
and after coming here he sold them all through the country,
especially in the Scioto valley valley and Kentucky, and all
over the State of Ohio. After they had established a good
trade in this sort of merchandise, they shipped their clocks
from Germany in large lots. One day a vessel was about to
land which contained about eight thousand dollars worth of
clocks for them. It struck a barge which stove in the
bottom of the ship, and all sunk - ship, cargo, clocks, and all.
The clocks were under a partial insurance, and after a long
litigation they managed to obtain a portion of the value of
their goods. But this crippled them in such a way as to
destroy their clock trade, and they lost about three-fourths of
their capital, and could not fulfill their engagements.
After this disaster Peter Farenbaugh was compelled
to preempt his piece of land which he had cleared for a home.
