Additional Information

Tabor Randall:

Notes:
"Tabor emigrated with his father in 1818 to Franklin County, Ohio, coming by team, the only way practicable. In his youth he became a school teacher. He taught a term in Mill Creek Township in 1825, and also taught in Jerome Township and in Morrow County. In August 1831, Mr Randall came to Jackson Township for the purpose of teaching a school. He married Elizabeth Cheney, and settled on a little place west of Essex. He remained here four years, farming in summer and teaching in winter. He then removed to the village of Essex and tended store for Jacob Reed about a year; and for William Wurl about the same length of time. Tabor served as Justice of the Peace in 1845, 1848, 1851, and again in 1854. Tabor also taught school and farmed to some extent until 1854 when he was elected Clerk of the Court for Union County. He removed to Marysville and retained the office for fifteen years. He has since served in different capacities at the Marysville court house, and is today a valuable and efficient official, though he has years ago passed his allotted three-score and ten." (From "The History of Union County, Ohio" published by W.H. Beers & CO.)


Elizabeth Cheney:

Notes:
Elizabeth taught the first school in Jackson Township in 1830 or 1831. It was a summer school of three months duration and contained 12 to 15 pupils. School was held in a log cabin which stood on David Allen's farm. (From "The History of Union County, Ohio" published by W.H. Beers & CO.)
