• Notes

  Jacob purchased 40 acres on Oct. 3, 1828 in Gallia Co., Ohio in Twp. 6, Range 16, section 33. This was a few months after he had married a very young bride in her teens. He was still likely the J. Danner on this land in the 1874 Gallia Co., Ohio Atlas. (CL-449, 590) In the 1830 census, they have one daughter under age ten. This is an unknown daughter to me at this time, as she was not listed by name in the 1850 census -- and has either died or married at that point. In the 1850 census for Gallia Co., there is a Jacob and Sarah Danner. In the 1850 census, Jacob was 45, a farmer, born in Pennsylvania. His wife, Sarah, age 33, was born in Virginia. Their children were all born in Ohio. After Solomon, age 20, and Mary, age 18, the next child was Jacob, age 10. (CL-303) In the 1860 census, his real estate was worth $1300.00 and his personal property, $150.00. (CL-304) By 1870 it had changed in value to $1200.00 and $200.00. In that census it states that only daughter Sarah in their household could read and write. (CL-305, 383) There are two Danners living in Gallia Co. of a correct age to be Jacob's father. A Jonathan Danner who lived in Perry Twp, Gallia Co., Ohio in the 1820 census, had many children, two the appropriate age to be our Jacob, and was himself over 45 years of age. If this is Jacob's father, it appears that his wife had died by the 1820 census due to the fact that the oldest female in the home was under age 26. One of his probable sons was named Solomon and lived next to him in the 1830 census in Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. Jonathan was between 60 and 70 years of age. I suspect that Jonathan was the father of both our Jacob and the above Solomon. The other possible father for Jacob is a Michael Danner who was living in Perry Twp. in Gallia Co., Ohio by the 1830 census who was between age 50 and 60. He had actually made his first land purchase there in 1827. There was a son age 10-14, one between 15 and 19 and one age 20-29. He also had one daughter age 15-19 and one 20-29. A son Jacob's age is not amongst them as he would have moved out by 1830. This Michael or one of his sons might be the Michael who married Sally Vance on 12/1/1825 and Elizabeth Napier on 10/1/1835. He or son Michael purchased land in 1827, 1838, and 1840 in Twp. 5. Because the name Michael was not given to any of Jacob's sons, I consider Michael much less likely to be the father of Jacob at this point in time. (CL-446) There are multiple Danners of similar age to Jacob in Gallia Co. that are likely siblings or cousins. Solomon bought land in Gallia Co., Ohio on Nov. 4, 1825 in Twp. 5, Sec. 3, Rat. 16. This Solomon married Polly Koons on 1-25-1827 and that left a will in 1851 in JWBE, p. 450, Gallia Co., Ohio. (CL-360) A David Danner bought land in 1832 and 1838, part of it adjoining Jacob's land. David was born about 1804 in Pennsylvania according to the 1870 Perry Twp, Gallia Co., Ohio records. He was living next to a Solomon Danner, b. 1840 in Ohio. (CL-383) He married Sally A. Bayles on 10-19-1838. He left administration papers in 1877 in C/D p. 25 and 56 and is buried in old Bethel Church Cemetery in Walnut Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio next to his son Sylvester D. Danner. (CL-360, 445) A George W. Danner bought land in 1832 and 1836. This George W. married Elizabeth Norman on 1-25-1831. Betsy Danner married Henry Rickabuagh on 4-28-1829. (CL-359) There is also a Jonathan Danner buried in Ross County, Ohio by himself. (CL-445)
