Notes for James or Jesse HUNTSMAN

Information gathered from various sources including emails from other researchers, etc.


James HUNTSMAN was born 1772. He lived in Buffalo Twp., Northumberland, PA but it's likely that he was born in Lancaster, PA (His father James HUNTSMAN and wife Deborah MASSEY moved to Northumberland County about the time of the Revolutionary War).

He died 13 Dec 1823 in Perry, Richland, OH. He married Maria Cathrina WEYRICH.

Around 1800, James HUNTSMAN moved westward to Washington County, PA and then on to Ohio. He was in Belmont County, OH by 1805. He eventually made his way to Perry, OH.

Perry Township lies in both Richland and Morrow Counties, OH. According to the 1880 History of Morrow County, OH, James HUNTSMAN arrived in what was to become Perry Township in 1817. This was just six years after the first white man built a cabin. Perry Township was organized in the spring of 1817. Peter WIRICK was elected a trustee and James HUNTSMAN's brother, Jonathan, was elected clerk. 1880 History of Morrow County at P. 484.

James HUNTSMAN was Perry Township's Justice of the Peace. A note in his own handwriting survives which he signed on 19 Mar 1819 certifying that Adam KIRK had killed a "bich" (sic) wolf and was entitled to payment of "fore" (sic) dollars.
