Lang; pub. Springfield, Ohio: Transcript Print. Co., 1880, 717 pgs. (LH8186, HeritageQuest images 5/2007; FHL film 1,000,340 item 2)
      Pg.535-536: Eden Township. JOHN SEARLES was born in Anne Arundel county, Maryland, February 20, 1775, on a farm where he was raised. He was drafted to the army in 1812, after he was married and had settled near the town of New Lancaster, Ohio. He moved from there in the fall of 1820, with his wife and seven children, to this county and occupied for a while one of the block houses of the old Fort Ball, where he lived in one room with his whole family. ... In the spring of 1821, Mr. Searles helped to open a road from Tiffin to Rocky creek, where the church now stands, and where he had bought 167 acres of land. Here he built a cabin in the woods, and in 1825 he built a frame barn which was probably the first one in the county. ... Mrs. Searles' maiden name was Duncan. They were the parents of nine children, five boys and four girls, of whom four sons and two daughters are still living. The foregoing was gathered from what Mr. Hezekiah Searles related, and he goes on to say: ... "Father died May 14, 1844 and mother October 30, 1871." (MAD: 1860 Seneca Co. OH census index, Jane Searles age 80 b.PA, children up to age 49 b.OH)
