Marlborough
Twp. -
HENRY W. PENNOCK (deceased). It
would be impossible to correctly compile a record of the
early settlers of Marlborough Tp., and those who figured to
a considerable extent in the building up, and making of what
the township now is, without mentioning the name of Henry
W. Pennock. This gentleman was born in West
Virginia in 1821, and is descended from an old and honored
English family, who trace their family connection back to
one Christopher Pennock, who figured conspicuously in
the battle of the Boyne towards the close of the sixteenth
century. From this man, the family trace their descent
in an unbroken line, to the present generation of that name,
who are now living in Marlborough Tp., and who have proved
to be among the most substantial men the township ever had.
Henry W. Pennock, came with his parents to Stark Co.,
in January, 1826. His youth and early manhood were
passed in hard labor, chiefly in Marlborough Tp., during
which time his total amount of schooling consisted of only
six months. In later years, however, he applied his
energies to study and reading good books, and in this way
acquired an excellent practical education.
Nov. 16, 1844, his marriage with Miss Jane Force
was solemnized, and for a number of years succeeding his
marriage Mr. Pennock dealt quite extensively in
stock, but the two years preceding his marriage, he was
engaged in mercantile pursuits, in the building now owned by
Isaac Pennock at Marlborough. He was an active
and valuable worker in the cause of temperance, often being
called to quite a distance to speak on this topic. He
did much to assist in building the churches and schools of
his neighborhood. The store building of D. W.
Dellenberger & Co. was erected by his enterprise, and
for a number of years he had a general store in the
building. Mr. Pennock was an honorable man, and
generous to a fault. He died of typhoid fever, Aug.
13, 1874, leaving to his heirs valuable property, but what
is prized by them for more highly, and untarnished name and
a spotless character. His widow, Mrs. Jane R.
(Force) Pennock is a daughter of Mahlon and Judith
(Belford) Force, from New Jersey and Philadelphia,
respectively, and grand-daughter of Isaac Force, who
came to the United States from France during the
Revolutionary War, and who served in that war as captain on
the side of independence. To the union of Mr.
Pennock and Miss Force, there were born a family
of four daughters - Cornelia G., Carrie M., Helen and
Flora. The first-named lives in Chicago, the
wife of Daniel Magridge, who is a grain merchant of
that place. Carrie married James G. Brookes,
of Warren, Ohio. Helen is the wife of
William Whitacre and lives in Cleveland.
Flora is single, and resides with her mother on the old home
farm, adjoining the village of Marlborough. In
conclusion, we can say that Mr. Pennock was a
man among men, and beloved by all. His family are
among the most highly esteemed of the township.

City of
Alliance -
MORRIS C. PENNOCK, hardware merchant and banker; Alliance;
of the firm of Wright & Pennock; was born in Chester
Co., Penn., May 22, 1830, and is the son of John and
Sidney (Chambers) Pennock. The Pennock family
in this country trace their ancestry back to one
Christopher Pennock, who was an officer in the British
army but on embracing the religion of the Quakers, he
resigned his position in the Quakers, he resigned his
position in the army and came to Pennsylvania with Wm.
Penn, when the latter came to this continent on his
second visit. Christopher Pennock had three
sons who were the heads of the various branches of that
family now in the United States. The parents of our
subject removed from Pennsylvania to Ohio in 1832, and
settled about eight miles south of Salem, where they farmed
about 10 years, and then moved to the near vicinity of
Salem, where they now reside; their ages respectively being
79 and 74 years; they reared a family of five children, four
of whom are living, viz.- Elizabeth, now Mrs. Jos.
Davis; Morris C.; Rachel P., now Mrs. C. Bonsall;
and Sidney M. They were brought up to farm
life, and got a liberal education in the public schools.
Morris C. attended a private school in Salem, and for
six or eight years he taught school in the winter, and
worked on the farm during the summer. In March, 1857,
he married Emma E. Wright, daughter of Redman
Wright, of Trumbull Co. They had one child, now
deceased. For the purpose of learning the hardware
business, he accepted a clerkship in an establishment of
that kind with Chessman & Wright, of Salem, which he
retained until 1862; when a partnership was formed between
himself and Mr. Alfred Wright. Their present
hardware gives his undivided attention. In all their
business enterprises they have been greeted with that
success which awaits industry and honest effort. He is
one of the originators of the First National Bank of
Alliance, which was organized in 1872, and has been a member
of its Board of Directors ever since the organization and is
now the Vice-President. He has also been a member of
the City Council, and is president of the Board of
Education. Mrs. Pennock, his first wife, died
in 1862; and in May, 1868, he married Mrs. A. Keith,
neé
Colestack; she has one child, Chas. S. Keith,
by her first husband, who is engaged in the store.

Marlborough
Twp. -
WILLIAM PENNOCK, farmer and
stockdealer; P. O. Marlborough. The Pennock family
of Marlborough Tp., are of English descent, and they trace
their genealogy back to the Revolution, justly styled
"glorious," of 1688, which expelled the family of Stuart
from the throne; defined and firmly established the
principles of the constitution, and introduced a liberal,
tolerant and really responsible system of government under
the great deliverer William III, Prince of Orange. The
first one of that name that comes to notice is
Christopher Pennock, in 1690. During the
Catholic Church disturbances he enlisted in the English
army, and was an active participant in the Battle of the
Boyne. After the war he came with his family to
America, and died in Philadelphia in 1701. His wife
was Mary Collett, of County Tipperary,
Ireland, and they were parents of three children —Joseph,
Nahaniel and Anne. The two sons, when
young men, became merchantmen, and during the trouble
between England and France, were captured on a return voyage
and made prisoners of war. Joseph finally made
his escape, but Nathaniel, never being heard of
afterwards, is supposed to have been lost at sea, after
making his escape. Anne never married, but died
in Kingston, Jamaica. Joseph married
Mary Levis, of Derby, Eng., and by her had a
family of twelve. Joseph came with his father,
Christopher, to the United States, and being
followers of William Penn, were given by that world
renowned man, a large tract of land in Chester Co., Pa.
The third child of Joseph and Mary Pennock,
was the great-grandfather of William Pennock, of
Marlborough, his name being also William. This
man married Mary Chamberlain, who died after being
married about six months, and he then married a Miss
Alice Mendenhall. To this union there was
born a large family, among them being the second William
Pennock, who, in early years, formed an attachment
with Mary Martin, an Irish girl, much against
his parents' wishes. To prevent their union he was
sent to England, and after a residence there of one year
returned, and finally was married to the one who was the
cause of his banishment from America. Soon after this
alliance, he and wife moved to what is now Roanoke Co., Va.,
where they remained happily a number of years. They
were parents of eight children —John, William,
Moses, Jane, Alice, Phoebe,
Mary and Hannah. Being strictly opposed to
slavery, as all true " Friends" are, this man and wife and a
portion of his family, emigrated to Ohio in about 1808
locating in Marlborough Tp., Stark Co., where they early
became identified with that township's history. His
son William was the father of the subject of this
biography. He did not come to Ohio with his parents,
but throwing aside the religion of his fathers became a
large slaveholder in his native State. In January,
1826, he came to Stark Co., Ohio, and from this place moved
to Illinois in 1837, where he afterward died. His wife
was Catharine Boone, by whom he had nine
children—John, deceased; Elizabeth, Isaac;
George, deceased; Mary, deceased; Parmelia,
Jane, William and Henry, deceased.
William, our subject, and the last of that name, was
born in Roanoke Co., Va., in 1819. In 1850 he married
Sarah Brantingham, and by her has one son—Franklin,
who is a successful physician of Marlborough. Dr.
Pennock was married Sept. 27, 1880, to Isabell
McCallum. The Pennock family is widely
known in Stark Co., and there is no family that commands
more respect and esteem than they.

WILLARD PENNOCK, of Pennock
Brothers, railroad-car manufacturers; Minerva. The
village of Minerva had been in rather a dormant state for
many years, until a few men of enterprise and skill took
advantage of her many resources, and cheap rents, and
started, in the year 1879, the business "boom" that has
given it a stir worthy of a young city. The leaders of
this new impetus were the Pennock Brothers,
manufacturers of railroad cars. This firm opened up
business in February, 1874, at the corner of Walnut and Mill
streets, as manufacturers of agricultural implements.
After a successful career of five yeas, they ventured their
capital in establishing more extensive works, and in1879,
they began the manufacture of freight cars, with a capital
of $15,000. The demand has grown faster than their
capacity to supply, although the firm did a business of
$163,000 in the year ending Apr. 1, 1881, which did not
supply the demand. Not only are they running their
foundry to its fullest capacity, but the amount of unfilled
orders warrants the erecting of new shops, that will be
completed by the middle of the summer of 1881, increasing
the force to twice its present strength, which is at present
forty mechanics. The difference in rents and board
renders it twenty per cent more profitable to laborers in
comparison with neighboring cities, at the same terms per
month. The firm is composed of I. N. and Williard
Pennock, both born in Carroll Co. Williard was
born July 21, 1853; son of Joel and Charlotte (Van Horn)
Pennock. He labored upon the farm until his 16th
year, when he began clerking in the village of Minerva, in
the hardware business, attending in winters the village
schools. In the year 1872-3 he prospected in the oil
regions of Pennsylvania, and returned to Minerva and formed
the above partnership with his brother. In polities he
is, and has always been a Republican, casting his first
ballot for Gen. U. S. Grant. He is a member of the Knights
of Pythias, Lodge No. 225, Minerva..

DR. A. C. PONTIUS, dentist;
Louisville. The subject of this biography is a native
of Pennsylvania, and was born Oct. 14, 1843. He is a
son of Ezra and Emily (Turney) Pontius, grandson of
Jacob Pontius, and great-grandson of John Pontius,
who was a native of Germany. The time of this family's
arrival in America is unknown, but it must have been early
in 1700. For generations previous to Ezra Pontius,
the occupation of this family was farming. Our
subject's father was a native of eastern Pennsylvania.
In about 1817 he removed to Armstrong Co., same State, and
engaged in mercantile pursuits. In that county Dr.
Pontius was reared. He received the advantage of
the common and high schools of his native town, finishing
his general school education with one year at Meadville
College. The latter part of his schooling was taken in
view of applying it in his study of medicine, which
occupation he had chosen as his vocation in life. In
March, 1862, he enlisted in the First Board of Trade Battery
of Chicago, commanded by Captain Stokes. He
served with the Battery through the battles of Stone River,
Chickamauga and Nashville, and through ill health was
discharged for disability in the spring of 1864. He
then returned home to Pennsylvania, remaining there until
the fall of the same year, when he re-enlisted as a private
in the Fifth Pennsylvania Artillery, but was soon promoted
to First Lieutenant. Dr. Pontius still has the
sword and sash presented him by his Battery. At the
close of the war, he returned home, and in the fall of 1865
commenced the study of medicine in his native town under
Dr. Hosack. During the winter of 1867-8, he attended
lectures at the Michigan Medical College at Ann Arbor, where
he graduated the term of 1868-9. After is graduation,
Dr. Pontius commenced practicing in Kellersburg, Pa.,
but at the end of a year removed to Ellerton, where he still
continued his practice. While here his office was used
as a dentist's room, and during this time Dr. Pontius
paid special attention to dentistry. His health being
somewhat broken down by active practice, he concluded to
make dentistry his future occupation. In 1876 he came
to Louisville, Ohio, where he has since been. His
previous practice as a physician, together with his
knowledge of dentistry, ranks him among the best dentists in
the county. In June, 1868, Dr. Pontius and
Emily Hastings, were united in marriage. This
union has been blessed with two children - Wilda L. P.,
and Albert A. H. Mrs. Pontius is a daughter
of Enoch Hastings, and is of Scotch descent.
Dr. Pontius is among the leading Republicans of
Nimishillen, a member of the I. O. O. F., and a gentleman.

A. V.
PONTIUS; Louisville, was born in Plain Twp.,
Dec. 21, 1840. His father, Peter Pontious, is
one of the oldest pioneers of Stark Co., a portrait of whom
will be seen in another part of this work, as well as the
general family history. His mother is Catharine (Essig)
Pontius, who was also an early resident of the county.
A. V. Pontius passed his youth and early manhood on
his father's farm, during which time he received the
common-school advantages. He was married Oct. 25, 1870
to Maria Yoder, and in the fall of 1875 discontinued
farming, moved to Louisville, where he built a fine
two-story brick dwelling-house, and has resided here ever
since. During the spring of 1881, he leased the
Buckeye Brick-yard, and is at present actively engaged in
the manufacture of brick in Louisville, running a force of
about twelve men. In May, 1841, he formed a
partnership with Jacob Geib, under the firm name of
Jacob Geib & Co. This firm has now in course of
erection, what will be one of the largest grist-mills in
Stark Co. They expect to confine their business to
merchant milling, and this establishment will be the largest
manufacturing house in Louisville. Mr. Pontius
is a young man of enterprise, and is among the leading men
of his tow.
