BARNHART ERLEWINE

Barnhart Erlewine is an old and prominent farmer of the vicinity of 
Glen Easton, W.Va. He was born on the 25th of December, 1812, in what 
was then Ohio county, but now within the limits of Marshall county.  
The father, Barnhart, was one of the pioneers who came to this state 
when Indians held sway.  His wife, Margaret Sailor, of Washington, 
Penn., bore him twelve children.  He was one of the old Jackson 
democrats.  His grandfathers on both sides were among the first to 
settle in this region.  Barnhart Erlewine, Jr., began life for 
himself at the age of twenty-nine years, at which time he was married 
to Martha Roe, this event occurred in 1842.  Her parents, Ebenezer 
and Ellen (Marshall) Roe, were descendants of old families.  Ebenezer 
died early in life, Mrs. Roe living to be sixty-five years old.  Both 
were devout communicants of the Methodist Episcopal church.  Mr. 
Erlewine has been engaged in farming and stock-raising all his life, 
and has met with the gratifying success that generally follows a life 
of thrift and probity.  He has never taken a very active part in 
politics, but seldom misses an opportunity of voting the republican 
ticket.  At the age of seventy-seven years, he has retired from the 
active duties of life, and is enjoying the peace and quiet that he 
deserves, upon the same homestead he bought in 1854. An honored, 
peaceful man beloved by his neighbors, revered by his children, he is 
indeed an honored man.  Five children have come to them:  Reuben, who 
married Mary Stanford, their one child is Ellen E.; Ebenezer, husband 
of Lyda Payne, their five living children are:  Martha E., Willard, 
Emma, Roe, and Charles; Margaret E. married Hickman Spoon, to whom 
she has borne Martha A., John R., William F. and Emma;  Francis 
married Lucinda Knapp, their children are:  Reuben M., Margaret E., 
Harry B.; and the youngest, John Roe, remains at home to care for the 
aged parents.
