PATRICK ARCHER'S DESCENDANTS IN OHIO

 

 

[The following data were published in "The Archer Quarterly" publication of The Archer Association, PO Box 6233, McLean, VA 22106, edited by George W. Archer, (Simon, Stephen, Stephen, Nathan, James I). The Archer Quarterly was published from the Fall of 1982 to the Summer of 1992. It is no longer published.

The editor's father, Simon Archer, was born in Sandyville, Jackson Co., WV 24 Aug 1884, son of Stephen Archer (Stephen, Nathan, James, Patrick) and Helen Josephine Butcher.

The material below was taken from disk files used to publish "The Archer Quarterly." The comments in parenthesis ( ), such as Editor's note, were in the original publication. The material in square brackets [GWA comment:] was added in June 2000 to update or clarify this material drawing on files I have developed since 1974 based on material submitted by Patrick's descendants, published and archival sources. Time did not permit recopying all the data from hard copy. Instead this material is submitted in hopes that Patrick's descendants will share information to supplement and correct what has been published here to support my on-going project to published "The Descendants of Patrick Archer." This is a multi-generational genealogy beginning with Patrick and following his descendants down to the present generation. Presently I have material on eleven generations. If you want more on anything you find her or on any descendant, including non-Archers,
contact:
George Archer,
c/o The Archer Association,
PO Box 6233,
McLean, VA 22106

or email me with your mailing address and a general outline of your descent from Patrick at:
garcher@wdn.com.

General warning: All of my comments below are based on a 25-year accumulation of ARCHER surname data with an emphasis on the Patrick descendants of which I am one. Data is never complete. Conclusions based on incomplete data are never definitive; there is always room for error of interpretation and of fact (clerical errors, lies, poor memory).

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. Sometimes that's what is needed.

July 2, 1799- James Archer to Rebecca Enox, by David Lockwood, J.P.

[GWA comment: James (James, Patrick). The fact that James was this far up river from home in Ohio Co., WV (see below) suggesting there was a lot of movement up and down the Ohio for hunting, fishing and civil affairs like marriages.]

Miscellaneous items from the Commissioner' Books

1802 - July 5

The different listers for the county made their returns, viz:...George Day for Archer (twp).

[GWA comment: According to "History of Carroll and Harrison Counties, Ohio, edited by Judge H.J. Eckley and Judge William T. Perry; Lewis Publi Co, Chicago, 1921, p. 426: "Archer civil township is among the oldest in Harrison County. It was formed in 1799 as one of the sub-divisions in Jefferson County. It then included much of the territory of what is now known as Harrison County. It took on its present boundary March, 1833."

I have no information about how or for whom the township was named. Archer Twp still exists in Harrison Co., today as is due east of Archer Heights in Brooke Co., WV suggesting a family connection if the same family moved westward along what is today US 22. This route is a bit too far north to have been a convenient crossing point from Waynesburg, PA to reach Wheeling, WV and Cambridge, OH, that would have been the probable migration route for two of Patrick's five sons: Joseph, and Jacob.

James of Patrick had already sold his property in Greene Co., PA in 1793. His whereabouts between 1793 and 1798 are not known for sure but both James, Sr. and Jr. appeared in the Ohio Co., (W) VA 1798 tax rolls and continued to appear until 1807. A search of Ohio Co., VA land and survey records showed a James Archer (of James, Jr.?) had moved into what was then Ohio Co., (W) VA. and had at least three pieces of land between Fish Creek (now in Marshall Co. WV) entered in 1802 (Ohio Co., VA Land Book 1785-1813, p. 243; 253) and another piece of property on both sides of Fishing Creek (now Tyler Co., WV) entered in 1808 (Ohio Co., VA Land Survey 1794-1844, p. 147). When the family left for Monroe Co., (now Noble Co.) OH, James and family probably floated down the Ohio a short ways and debarked at Clarington the Ohio River terminus of the westward road (Ohio State Route 78) leading to present-day Stock Twp in Noble Co. If they living on the property in Fishing Creek, farther south, the crossing point probably would have been at Sistersville, (W) VA to connect with the road (Ohio State Route 800) from Fly, OH to Woodsfield, OH.]

Walraven, George d. 2 May 1871, ae 24, 5m, 24d, veteran war 1861-1865

[GWA comment: The relationships between Archer and Walraven are a bit hard to deduce from this cemetery plot. What is known: Elizabeth Walraven md. as his third wife, Anthony Archer b. 1824 on 31 Jan 1864 in Morgan Co, OH. Unknown is if this Elizabeth is the Elizabeth Archer Walraven, dau of William and R. There could more than one Elizabeth Archers. For instance, if Elizabeth b. c. 1841 was the wife of George Walraven (no proof of this yet available), she probably was still married to him up to his death in 1871 (unless there is an unfound divorce) making her marriage to Anthony in 1864 unlikely. My records have no Elizabeth, dau of William and R. in the southeast Ohio counties. Checking on her father, William, who could have a birth date of 1790-1820, there was insufficient data on wives and children of the many William's of that age to identify her father. Charles B. Archer offers no clues, but his close proximity to Elizabeth on the stone and in age suggest that he was her brother.]

Archer, Nancy & Martin Bates 1 Dec 1824

Archor, Jacob & Rachel Davis 12 Jun 1837

[GWA comment: These are subject to more proof but possible ancestries: Elijah (Michael?, Jacob?, Patrick?)

More certain ancestry: 

Jacob (James, Patrick)  Joseph (James, James, Patrick) Nancy (James, Jacob, Patrick)

There is a law suit that contested that James did in fact sell some land that was mis-identified in the deed when James sold it to Isaac Wilson. James Archer d. Mar 1841 in Guernsey Co. The suit names those who appear to be either James' CHILDREN or his SIBLINGS and their spouses, one of which is Nancy whose husband is Martin Bates. The others are: George Archer, Henry Archer, Michael Archer, James Archer and Anthony Jones and Margaret Jones his wife. The land involved was mistakenly described as the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4, S. 23, T., 9, R. 9 in the Lewisville (?) Dist, instead of the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of S. 23, T. 9, R. 10. (Guernsey Co., OH, Court of Common Pleas, Journal M. , Oct Term

1845 - James Archer administratration vs Alva Buckingham et al - Chancery.)

There were Guernsey Co., marriages that are close enough together in time that they probably are the persons named in the suit:

Book A:

Michael and Margaret Collins 7 Mar 1812, p. 3 Henry and Polly (diminuative of Mary) Walters 13 Nov 1816, p. 47 also: Henry and Susanna Jones 23 Mar 1826, p. 262 Peggy (diminutive for Margaret) and Anthony Jones 2 Oct 1817, p. 6 (Henry and Margaret both married by David Tulles, JP) and much later: Nancy and Martin Bates 1 Dec 1824, Morgan Co, OH, Bk A, p. 167]

 

 

Baptismal records published by the Catholic Historical Society's "La Barquia de Santa Maria" -

Baptismal records of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, near Somerset, OH on 29 Nov 1820.

The baptisms were recorded by a circuit riding priest who returned to Somerset to record the baptisms performed somewhere else. But would these baptisms in 1820 have been children or adults? Henry and Margaret were married in 1816/1826 and 1817, respectively, but before they were baptized? Unless there is another James and wife, Ann, with children of the same given names, it is possible these were adult baptisms. Also, I believe that the given for the baptism is a recording date and not the date of actual baptism, as (see below) George and Rebecca Archer and George Carrol and Anna (Archer) were already in Richland Co., OH for the 1820 census.

There were other Catholic Archers whose children were baptized on the same date who do not seem connected to the immediate family of James and Ann and were in the Guernsey Co., area. Because Catholic Archers are a rarity in America for this time period and to the best of my knowledge, Patrick's descendants are the only Catholic Archers, they are probably related, here is an attempt to explore their relationship to Patrick:

Baptized:

Henry Archer , of James and Ann

Margaret Archer, of James and Ann

Sarah Archer of James and Ann

[GWA comment: Are these the children of the James who died in March 1841? If so they cannot be the same Henry and Margaret who married in 1816 and 1817, respectively in Guernsey Co., unless they were baptized as adults.

If they are children who were baptized, they would have married in the 1830's or 1840's and so they could be the heirs of James who d. in March 1841 but could be James' siblings and not his children.

This still leaves open the ancestry of James. There were three Archers, a James, Henry and George, all living in Spencer Twp. Guernsey Co. in 1840, where Jacob of Patrick lived, so there is a circumstantial case that this is Jacob's line. Without more evidence, there is not much more that can be said.]

 

Ann Archer of Henry and Mary

Joseph Archer of Henry and Mary

[GWA comment: Henry Archer (James?, Jacob?, Patrick?) and Polly Walters. The children would have been ages 1-4, based on Henry and Mary's marriage date. This Henry, his marriage and baptism dates and mention of a Henry in the James Archer land suit above may have revealed a missing son for Jacob, or at least another generation of Archers b. c. 1795-1800 living in Guernsey Co.

There is another Henry Archer b. 1806 in PA who md. 1. Susannah Jones 23 Mar 1826 in Guernsey Co. and md. 2. (Mrs.?) Sarah Lewis 15 Oct 1854 in Morgan Co, OH whose children are well documented by censuses as born 10-30 years after Henry and Mary's children and living in Morgan Co., OH 1840-1860. His ancestry is now open to study. He may well be Jacob's son since the other Henry above has been identified as the probable son of James.]

Baptized:

____ Archer of George and Rebecca

Michael Archer of George and Rebecca

 

[GWA comment: Probably Michael of George (Joseph, Patrick) and Rebecca ____. However, the 1820 US census for Monroe Twp, Richland Co., OH shows a George, probably this George who md. Rebecca, to be already in Richland Co., OH with his family, raising the question if the baptismal date is the date it was recorded or the actual baptism and the priest simply entered all Archer baptisms performed within the boundary of his parish. I do not know if both Guernsey and Richland Cos, OH fell within the St. Joseph parish in 1820. ]

Baptized:

Elizabeth Carrol of George and Ann

Mary Carrol of George and Ann

Margaret Carrol of George and Ann

[GWA comment: These are the children of George Carrol and Anna Archer (Joseph, Patrick) who md. 19 Mar 1812 in Guernsey Co., OH.

Again, I doubt this baptism took place in Guernsey Co., but rather in Richland where George and family were living in Mifflin Twp, Richland Co. in the 1820 US Census with 3 females under the age of 10.]

 

Joseph Archer of Michael and Cynthia

Michael Archer of Michael and Cynthia

[GWA comment: Michael Archer and Cynthia Dickerson. His ancestry is not known but by eliminating other Michael's of this age, he may be a son of Joseph (of Patrick), and he may have opted not to accompany the family to Richland Co. ca. 1818-1820. He is much older than the others, above (c. 1787 as his wife, Cynthia b. c. 1787; d. 3 Jul 1851, age 64), and their first child, Matilda was b. 19 Jun 1809. Most of Joseph (of Patrick's) children were born about the time Michael was born.]

"Mr. Archer, U.S.A. by Herman Archer, as told to R.H. Platt, Jr." Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Page & Co, 1924.

This is the autobiography of Herman Neville Archer b. 8 Jun 1879, Seneca Twp, Noble Co., Ohio, d. 16 Aug 1947, Winter Park, FL md. Laura Hemmingway. He was the son of John P. Archer and Martha Grandon. John P. was the son of Simon who was the son of James who was the son of Patrick, the latter two having been described in The Archer Quarterly series "The Descendants of Patrick Archer." The children of Herman and Laurah (Hemmingway) Archer were Herman Neville, Jr. and Royal Macklin.

Here are some quotes from the review of the book taken from Book

Review Digest for 1924:

Herman Archer enlisted in the Army when he was only sixteen years old and entered upon a life of adventure. Naturally and frankly he tells the whole story of it to Mr. Platt, who in turn tells it to us. Young Archer knowing no fear, constantly sought out adventure, which he found in plenty. He saw service in the Spanish War, in China during the Boxer Rebellion, in the Philippines when Aguinaldo was captured by Funston, and was with the American filibusterers in Honduras at the time of its revolution. It is interesting to know that Richard Harding Davis has used this same Archer for the hero of his "Captain Machlin" as a result of his exploits in the South American revolution.

(Ed. Note: Herman's second son's middle name was "Machlin" probably in reference to the book's character.)

Other reviews:

Bookman June 1924, p. 478-

"Nothing just like it among the current biographies. Though the character himself was not an important figure in this country's development and military performances, Archer stands for the army which has had a big role. His narrative is frank, naive and delightful."

Boston Transcript 23 Apr 1924, p.4.

"The career of Mr. Archer of the United States Army makes a fascinating tale of adventure and we are told that it all happens to be true. The story is set down as it was related to Mr. Platt and it is marked by the easy discursiveness of the natural storyteller."

Greensboro (N.C.) Daily News 15 Jun 1924

"This book is inconceivably rich, colorful and persuasive. From it one gets the best of the old army, the army that was, the army of the days prior to 1914. It is a stirring book, a thriller far more effective than the best efforts of the fictioneers. No lovers of adventure stories can afford to miss it."

New York Tribune 27 Apr 1924, p. 27

"This volume is an interesting recital of adventure, but poorly written. The writer, who apparently has absorbed Mr. Archer's experiences via shorthand, tried his best to, as it were, 'step into his character,' but failed miserably. Mr. Archer, despite Mr. Platt's laborious and illogical attempts to delineate character, manages to emerge as a colorful individual."

Springfield Republican 3 Aug 1924

"Archer's story is told with the ease of a book of adventure and it is truly, as the picture of an army man's life, an adventure story. The realism is carefully surrounded by glamour."

HOHMAN, John Sebasstian (sic) son of John & Margretha Hohman was born in Germany but came to this country at the age of 12 years, settling in Noble Co. Oh. where he carried on a large business in merchandising and hauling stock. Before railroads were known, he drove large herds of stock over the Allegheny Mountains to Philadelphia and Baltimore.

During the Civil War, John was a Colonel. At the close of the war, he moved west and settled in Clay Co., Kansas in 1877. Later he moved to Riley Co., just across the river from Garrison.

John was born 20 San 1825, died 23 Sept 1899. Buried in Hohman Family Cemetery, Riley Co. He married 25 Nov 1844, Matilda ARCHER, who was born 22 Feb 1826 in Ohio and died 15 Sept 1885.

Buried in the Hohman Cemetery.

Peter was a blacksmith and a farmer. He was Catholic and his education was limited to the third-grade. His first home was a log cabin near Strawberry, Washington Co., where he settled in 1861.

[GWA Comment: John Sebastian Hohman married Mary Matilda Archer (Michael, James, Patrick). John was in the Civil War but his rank was exaggerated by the time he got to Kansas. Also he left Noble Co., OH after incurring an enormous debt and in disgrace moved on to Kansas after selling his half of the business to his son in law, Gustave C. Ehrlerman who married his daughter, Maria Eva Hohman. John and the family prospered after settling in Riley Co.

They farmed and acquired a large amount of land and left many descendants in the Riley Co., KS area.

"Centennial Biographical History of Richland Co., Ohio" by A.J. Baughman, ed. Lewis Publ Co, Chicago, 1901, Reprinted by Unigraphic Inc. 1979

p. 694

Martin L. Culler - deals with John Ernsberger maternal grandfather of Martin L. Culler, whose father was Michael L. and Mary A. (Ernsberger) Culler both of Maryland. John Ernsberger emigrated to Ohio from Maryland about 1818 and settled in Mifflin Twp, Richland Co., buying 160 acres of land. His first wife whose maiden name was Mary Smith died when Mrs. Culler was only 12 years old and later married Polly Archer. Sometime during the 1830's they moved to Iowa where he died.

[GWA comment: Polly (Mary) Archer md. John Ernsberger 1827 in Richland Co., OH according to an IGI record. I did not find this record after searching this marriage in Richland Co., OH.]

Chapt 38 - Bloom Twp History

"The history of this Township begins in 1831 when the first lands were purchased by Henry Copus and James Archer while yet it formed a part of the Indian hunting ground. Within two years the pioneers came into the wilderness, cleared a few small tracts in the forest and made a nucleus round which civilization made a rude beginnings here. The exterior lines were surveyed in 1819 by Alex. and Samuel Holmes and the sections, in 1821, by S. Bourne."

[GWA comment: James Archer who arrived about 1831 from Richland Co., OH is James (Joseph, Patrick).]

p. 109- "J.R. Archer is a native of this county. He taught school for five years and at the end of that time took up the study of medicine. He was graduated from Starling Medical College at Columbus, Ohio in 1887 and located in the practice at Holgate in Henry Co. He remained there one year then came to North Baltimore."

[GWA comment: This is an error. He is James Dallas Archer (Joseph, James, Joseph, Patrick). He is described elsewhere in the "History of Henry and Fulton Counties, Ohio, edited by Lewis Cass Aldric, publ by D. Mason & Co, Syracuse, NY, 1888, p. 165 (Henry County): "J. Dall Archer was born Oct 30, 1858 in Wood Co., He read medicine with Dr. W.F. Thomas of North Baltimore for three years when he entered the Starling Medical College. After receiving the first degree, he went to Dundee, Michigan for practice and remained there until 1885 when he went to Holgate."]

Daniel Crosser and Nancy Archer both born in Richland Co., OH the former in 1806, the latter in 1816.

[GWA comment: Nancy Archer (Henry?, Joseph? Patrick?). She was b. c. 1819 making her too young to be Joseph and Margaret Church's child, since Margaret was b. c. 1760. This leaves Henry as the most eligible father.]
