Verify the data and conclusions below with your own research, using original, not published sources. Treat even primary sources with scepticism. Try to get three pieces of evidence for each fact you are trying to prove and compare them to ensure they are not all drawing on the same (flawed) sources. Good luck with your research.

"Portrait and Biographical Record of Guernsey Co., Ohio." Chicago: C.O. Owen & Co., 1895, p. 509 (Historical Section)

Military history- The war of 1812-15 had a stagnating effect upon improvements in Guernsey County. All efforts toward advancement were checked. Men flew to arms for the protection of their families and firesides; uncertainty and distrust reigned among those left behind to await the results of arbitrament of arms.

The citizens from Guernsey County who participated in the war 1812 were as follows: ... Michael Archer.

 

[GWA comment: There are several candidates as Guernsey Co. was formed in 1810 from parts of Muskingum and Belmont and covered a fairly large area including the present-day north half of Noble and an east edge of Monroe. These areas were in 1810 within the boundaries of Muskingum and Belmont Cos., OH.

Those Michael's old enough to have served and were living in this area were (in descending order of probability):

1. Michael (Joseph?, Patrick?) - appeared under Capt Beatty's Co, rolls. He was b. c. 1780 and Married Cynthia Dickerson and owned land in present-day Buffalo Twp, Noble Co., in 1818-1819

2. Michael (Jacob, Patrick) md. 1. Margaret Collins 27 Mar 1811, Guernsey Co, OH and md. 2. Jane Elliot 8 Apr 1827, (Mrs. William Stone) 8 Apr 1827, Muskingum Co., OH. There is no other evidence that he did serve except that he was about the right age and in the area.]

Members of the 97th O.V.I. Co., B. - This regiment was organized at Zanesville, Ohio September 2, 1862: John M. Archer

[GWA comment: His father, Jacob C. Archer applied for and got a pension as the survivor of his son. The pension application/certificate file is:

Jacob C. Archer
Application no 421218 dated 28 Apr 1890 ;applied from Ohio
Certificate no 330227
for service of his son, John M. Archer Co. B, 97th Ohio Vol. Inf.

This Jacob and John cannot be identified beyond this record. The pension file should provide more data to make family connections.

If the father was living in 1890 and the son was born about 1842 this would make the father b. c. 1820.

There was a Jacob Archer b. c. 1823 living in Brookfield Twp, Morgan Co., who died 19 Aug 1892 and is buried in Hiramsburg Cem, Noble Co, OH. He had three wives Levenia Marrow, Ursula A. or J. and Jenny Fish but only two of his children are known: Charles b. c. 1860 and William b. c. 1862. Jacob's lineage is unknown but probably a descendant of Jacob of Patrick.]

Six new companies were subsequently organized July 24- August 3, 1863 and consolidated with this battalion making up the 88th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The Regiment was principally engaged in guarding rebel prisons at Camp Chase, Ohio; also in pursuit of Morgan's raiders and the suppression of Holmes County rebellion in 1863. Co. E. was represented by.... Wilson S. Archer.

p. 153

Marion Francis Lawrence, son of John Bradley and Milinda Catherine Johnson Lawrence, was born June 8, 1898, on Back Street, Linton Mills, six miles down Wills Creek from Kimbolton, Ohio, in Coshocton County....

The Lawrence family, of English descent, lived near Zanesville.

Marion's grandmother raised her son alone until he married, helping her as he could. She is buried in a family plot on a hill near their home.

Her father worked for farmers; hunted game for food; dug coal from a hill nearby; and helped at a sawmill. Mother sewed their clothes from cloth similar to denim.

There were six living children: Rilla Catherine, Marion Francis, Thomas Stone, and John Wesley, two girls, Vernie and Edna, died in infancy. Two children were still born. Albert was interred in Mt. Zion Cemetery, Guernsey County.

The Johnsons were Pennsylvania Dutch from Germany. The father, Elisha Johnson, was a casket maker and a carpenter. He held a frosty nail in his mouth which stuck to his lip, damaging the lip.

He developed cancer. He was a very religious man. He died, leaving three small boys and one girl- Lew, Jethro, Charles, and Malinda Catherine (named for her mother who had died). Their parents are buried in Plainfield Cemetery.

In 1911 Marion helped his dad dig coal, when he was out of school. When he was 15, he quit school, and became an engineer hoisting coal from the Harriette Mine, near Buckeyeville.

He met and later married Ruth Elizabeth Archer, 18, on June 12, 1920. They lived near Little Kate, in a mining town called Lucasburg, west of what is now Meadowbrook High School. Two girls were born- Dorothy Louise on July 4, 1921, and Virginia June on January 20, 1923. In the spring of 1925 they moved to Cressep, West Virginia where he mined coal. During a strike a farmer hired him to hoe corn and put up hay. A son, Jack Archer, was born June 18, 1925. the family became ill with typhoid fever. Dorothy died.

They then returned to the old home. He worked as he was able to in mines, the railroad, R. C. A. and odd jobs. His wife, Ruth, died October 22, 1957. Marion was a widower nine years. He loved to square dance. It was there he met M. Helen Ray, a nurse's associate. A year later- November 13, 1966, we were married, and have lived in Lore City, a town near where I was born August 5, 1912. -

THE ROBBERY OF JENNIE ARCHER OF SPENCER TOWNSHIP, GUERNSEY CO., OHIO

Mistaken Evidence

Two Guernsey county men once served several months in the Ohio Penitentiary for a crime they did not commit. Their conviction and subsequent sentence to imprisonment resulted from a combination of both direct and circumstantial evidence. Of all the persons connected with their trial only one, the attorney who defended them, seemed to believe in their innocence. Their case was one of the most remarkable ever tried in the courts of Guernsey county.

Jennie Archer Robbed - About sixty years ago Jennie Archer, a woman past middle age, lived as a recluse three or four miles northeast of Cumberland. Her cabin, made of rails and daubed with clay, was located in a hollow surrounded by woods. Her only companions were a cow, a ferocious dog, and some chickens which roosted in the loft of the cabin. People of the country round-about knew her as Jennie Archer, the eccentric old woman. It was reported that she had between two hundred and a thousand dollars which she carried in a belt about her body.

Late one dark, rainy night in February 1877, two men riding horseback approached the cabin, dismounted and knocked. They told Jennie they were officers looking for horse thieves who, they had reason to believe, were concealed in her cabin. Although she tried to assure them no such persons were there, they forced an entrance, after shooting the dog which offered resistance. They then demanded her money. She denied having any, but her movements led to their searching the loft where a sack containing between two and three hundred dollars was found. The men then rode away with the money.

Robbers Tracked - The next morning Jennie reported the robbery and officers came to the cabin. As the ground was soft, the tracks of the robbers' horses could be seen plainly. A shoe was missing from the hoof of one of the horses. The tracks were followed to the main road leading to Cumberland, thence to a place where it forked. One horse had gone straight ahead; the other had turned to the left toward Ava. They followed the tracks of the former, which led to the stable of Everett Heskett. Within was a horse whose feet corresponded to the size of the tracks followed, and with one shoe missing. In appearance Heskett answered the description of one of the robbers, given the officers by Jennie.

Returning to the forks the officers followed the tracks of the other horse. They led to the stable of Thomas Stewart, in which was a horse whose feet showed the same measurements as the tracks.

Stewart answered the description of the other robber. The two men were immediately arrested.

Both, protesting their innocence, gave bond to appear before the court at Cambrdige at its next session. In the meantime Heskett fled the country, forfeiting his bond.

Convincing Evidence - Stewart engaged Colonel John Ferguson, Cambridge attorney, to defend him. His case was tried before Judge Frazier, with J.C. Steele as prosecutor. Jennie Archer told the story of the robbery, as related above, and positively identified Stewart as one of the two men who had taken the money.

The officers testified as to their tracking the horses. Then other witnesses stated that Heskett and Stewart knew Jennie had money; that they had been heard to make some remarks which would indicate their intention to try to get to it. The fact that Heskett had fled, forfeiting his bond, was evidence of guilt.

Only a short deliberation was necessary for the jury to render a verdict of guilty. Judge Frazier sentenced Stewart to two years in the penitentiary. Heskett was subsequently rearrested in Illinois, whence he had fled, and brought back to Cambridge. His trial which was similar to that of Stewart, resulted in his getting a sentence of three years. An additional year was given him because he had forfeited his bond.

In the minds of the judge, prosecutor, jury, and people generally, there seemed to be no question as to the guilt of Heskett and Stewart. One man, however, was not satisfied, although he held no other persons under suspicion. This was Colonel John Ferguson, counsel for the defense.

Remarkable Coincidence - About a year later Orange Pettay and Joseph Odell, of Sarahsville, Noble county, who had been spending money more freely than usual, made some remarks on a certain occasion that led to their arrest for the robbery of Jennie Archer. They were brought to Cambridge and tried for a crime for which two men were then paying the penalty at Columbus.

As in the former case, Judge Frazier was on the bench, and J. C. Steele was the prosecutor. This time, though, Colonel John Ferguson did not serve as counsel for the defense. The jury was composed of J. S. Riddle, John S. Wilkin, J. T. Oldham, James Hutchison, Solomon Hutton, John S. Clark, Charles H. Scott, George S. Nichols, James Bell, Lot P. Hosick, Dennison Tetrick and Peter Longsworth.

When called to the stand, Odell confessed. He declared that Heskett and Stewart were innocent. He and Pettay went to Jennie's house the night of the robbery, he said, and there occurred exactly what she told at the trials of the other men. They then rode together to the Cumberland road, thence to the forks where they separated, one going past Heskett', the other past Stewart's.

This accounted for the tracks leading to the homes of the original suspects. A remarkable coincidence in the case was that the foot measurements of the Heskett and Stewart horses were the same as those of the horses Pettay and dell rode; and more, too, shoes from the same feet were missing. Heskett and Stewart resembled Pettay and Odell in appearance. Odell shaved his beard on the day following the robbery.

Victims of Circumstances - Heskett and Stewart were the victims of the most unfortunate circumstances in the court history of Guernsey county. They would probably have been convicted on circumstantial evidence alone. But to this was added the direct but mistaken evidence of a weak-minded old woman. She had not mingled enough with the outside world to make distinctions as to people. Nobody blamed her, the judge, the prosecutor or the jury.

Sentences of five and two years in the penitentiary were given Pettay and Odell, respectively. Petitions for the immediate release of Heskett and Stewart, signed by Judge Frazier, Prosecutor Steele and the members of the jury were forward to Governor Richard M. Bishop. It was a case of mistaken evidence.

"Stories of Guernsey County, Ohio" by William G. Wolfe. Cambridge, OH, 1943, pp. 998-1000

[GWA comment: I cannot with certainty identify Jane Archer. She should be related to the Jacob of Patrick line, as Spencer Twp, Guernsey Co., OH is where Jacob lived and died after he migrated from Greene Co., PA in the early 1800's. However, there have been a large number of movements of the descendants of James (of Patrick) into Guernsey Co. over the years, and she could have been a wife of one of these. Nevertheless here is an attempt to see who she might be.

There was a Jane Archer age 35 (b. c. 1815) OH living with Nancy Archer age 75, b. PA in the 1850 Census for Spencer Twp in household 154/390 as the only two inhabitants of the household.

Let's assume that Nancy b. c. 1775 was a widow (of Jacob of Patrick) and that Jane (Jennie?) was her daughter.

The evidence to support their connection to Jacob is very slim.

Howard Leckey in his "Tenmile Country and Pioneer Ancestors says that Jacob of Patrick Archer's wife was Nancy Church, daughter of George Church (Kirk/Kirche) and Jane. (Was Jane Archer b. c. 1815 named for her?) Leckey elsewhere, citing local oral history, says that Nancy married an Archer and does not name him. This could have been either Jacob or Simon Archer, sons of Patrick, as Simon's wife was Nancy. Jacob's wife's name is not known with certainty.

After Simon's death in Washington Co., OH in 1808, the 1810 US Census for Newport Twp, Washington Co, OH lists a Nancy Archer and she is named "Nancy" as the widow and admistratrix of his estate in 1808. So the case is stronger that a Nancy was Simon's wife whereas there is no paper trail naming Jacob's wife.

Back to Jacob. Jacob was supposed to have been one of the younger sons of Patrick. Jacob and family appear for the first time in Spencer Twp in the 1820 US Census with both of the oldest adults over 45 and with two females 10-16 of age. One of these could have been Jennie. In the Franklin Twp, Greene Co., PA US census he and the oldest female are aged 26-45.

The jury is still out on Jennie's ancestry, but it is probably Jacob of Patrick, possibly by one of his children who died or went to Morgan Co. or by Jacob himself. Jacob's children are not known with certainty but may be uncovered with much more work in Guernsey Co. records. Research is complicated because Jacob's brother, Joseph was also living in Guernsey Co. until Joseph moved to Richland Co., OH ca. 1818-1820.

For more on Jennie's escapades there is a detailed account of her life and living conditions in the Cambridge (OH) "Daily Jeffersonian" 4 Sep 1942. She continued to live as a squatter in a shack that had minimal comforts after the robbery The local people who felt sorry and responsible for her made two attempts to get her moved to the County Infirmary. She left the first time and returned home but died at the home the second time when she jumped from a window to escape. Locals categorized her as eccentric but not insane.]

There is a fairly clear record that he abandoned wives 1 and 2 and survived the Civil War although Sarah Law believed he died in the war and remarried 14 Jun 1862, (Cloud Co., KS?) a medical Dr. S. M. Ransopher. Ruth got a divorce for abandonment on 12 Jun 1858 in Noble Co. and remarried in Noble Co., OH 28 Oct 1858 James Hesson. He went by the name Solomon but got his Civil War pension under the name of Stephen Solomon for service in Co. H., 7th Kansas Infantry. Perhaps his pension file will throw some light on his earlier marriages and parentage of his 9 children, one of which was by Sarah.
