JACOB PERRY WINTERMUTE,
merchant, Mt. Liberty, Ohio, is the third in descent from
George Wintermute, or Windemuth, as originally
spelled, who was an emigrant from the old country, settling in
Sussex county, New Jersey, in the early part of the last
century, and from whom has descended an extensive family
connection, now scattered over all the northern States,
territories and Canada.
His son George, who died in 1837, in the
ninetieth year of his age, was married to Nancy Arason,
a descendant of Jeptha Arason, who was commissioned and
sent over by one of the King Georges' to do some surveying,
receiving for his services a large tract of land in the northern
part of New Jersey.
His son George, the father of the subject of
this sketch, was born in Sussex county, New Jersey, Apr. 28,
1787, was married to Anne Wintermute, nee
Lanterman, Oct. 24, 1807, and at once removed to Fayette
county, Pennsylvania, where he followed his trade of
blacksmithing, removing from thereto Trumbull county, Ohio, in
1809, where he, with an elder brother, was drafted and served in
the War of 1812. After the close of his term of service,
the times being very hard in that then new country, he moved
back to Fayette county, Pennsylvania, in 1814, where he remained
until the year 1825, when he again moved to Ohio, this time
settling in Muskingum county, ten miles west of Zanesville,
which place he made his permanent residence until the date of
his death, Jan. 4, 1862. His widow died Feb. 1, 1871, at
her daughter's, near the old homestead. They had a family
of six sons and one daughter, as follows; Arason, John Ogden,
Asahel Wells, Sarah Ann; Ashfordby, James Frey, and Jacob
Perry, all of whom are living with the exception of the
second son, who died in Grayville, Illinois, Apr. 3, 1876.
The subject of this sketch, the youngest of the family,
was born in Hopewell township, Muskingum county, Ohio, Dec. 15,
1852, and remained on the farm until his sixteenth year, when he
went to Zanesville m the fall of 1848 to learn a trade with his
brother, remaining with him four years, after which he engaged
in daguerreotyping, following the business in various parts of
the State about seven years.
On the last day of December, 1857. he was united in
marriage, in Zanesville, Ohio, by the Rev. David E. Thomas,
to Ettie A. Buckmaster, who was born in Muskingum county,
Feb. 7, 1837, and who was a daughter of C. W. Buckmaster,
whose biography appears in another part of this work. This
union resulted in a family of two sons and two daughters, as
follows: Robert Corbin, born June 27, 1861; Nina,
Oct. 14, 1863, both in Norton, Delaware county, Ohio; William
Edward, Apr. 4, 1869, and Pearlie, Apr. 9, 1876, both
in Mt. Liberty, Knox county.
After a residence in Zanesville of a little more than
one year he removed to Norton, Delaware county, Ohio, and
engaged in mercantile business with his brother, remaining there
five years, when he changed his location to Mt. Vernon, and
became one of the firm of J. W. Purviance & Co.
Just after the date of this move—May, 1864—he was called into
the service of his country, being orderly sergeant of company C,
One Hundred and Forty-fifth regiment, Ohio National guard.
The regiment did garrison duty on Arlington Heights, Virginia,
the whole term of their enlistment.
In the spring of 1867 he changed to his present
location and engaged in mercantile business alone, where, by
steady persistence and careful management, he has made his
business a success.
At the present time he holds the honorable and
responsible position of grand worthy patriarch of the Grand
division Sons of Temperance, of Ohio, having been elected
thereto Oct. 28, 1880.
