Horatio G. Scribner

• General Notes
  • Horatio and Elizabeth and family moved to Stark County, Illinois, during the 1850's. He was a farmer in Bradford, Osceola Township. Like most of the farmers in that area, he grew and harvested sorghum. His second wife, Hannah, was born in England, and naturalized an American citizen in 1858. Her first husband was James Scholes, who died in 1859.
    In the 1865 State Census of Illinois (Roll 39, Page 8) Horatio is shown with two male children between the ages of 10 and 20, and one female child within the same age grouping. No further information about this family is known.
