ALEXANDER NESBIT,
general farmer and a well and favorably known citizen, of
Northfield Township, was born on the farm on which he now
lives, on Mar. 10, 1843, and is a son of William and
Lucinda (Hungerford) Nesbit. William Nesbit was
born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and came to
Northfield Township as an early settler. He cleared a
farm and acquired 100 acres of valuable land. He was a
son of William Nesbit, who was born in Scotland, who
settled first in Westmoreland County, and came to Northfield
Township in 1834, where he died. William and
Lucinda Nesbit had four children, namely: David G.,
of Cleveland; Emily Lucinda who married Samuel
Gallie, of Northfield; Caroline Esther, who
married William Deisman, of Bedford, Ohio; and
Alexander, of Northfield.
Alexander Nesbit was reared on the home farm,
which he now owns, a valuable tract of land, consisting of
sixty-two and one-half acres, of which he has fifty under
cultivation. He raises corn, oats, wheat and hay,
keeps four head of cows and raises calves for the market.
Mr. Nesbit married Josephine Fillius, who
is a daughter of Phillip Fillius of Hudson, and they
have one daughter, Grace E., who is residing at home
with her parents. Mr. Nesbit and his family
belong to the United Presbyterian Church. During its
existence he belonged to the old Northfield Grange.
Although his father was a Jacksonian Democrat, Mr. Nesbit
is identified with the Republican Party.
