Descendants of John Nash
by Norma Jennings
Updated May 22, 2004
Speculation on the Nash family has now come to an
end with
the locating of the christening records of both Lucretia and Letitia
Nash.
In the St. James Parish records we find Lucresy Nash b. September 29,
1788. This birth date matched the one we had for her. While the
parents
were not
listed for Lucretia, they were listed for her sister Letitia in the
Early Catholic Church Records showing she
was the dau. of John and Ann Nash.
Letitia (Latitia Nash, dau. of John and Ann) was baptized
October 12,
1790 at the age of six weeks. Thus we come up with an approximate
date of
August 30-31, 1790 for Letitia or Letty as she was called. Source: Early Catholic Church records, Maryland,
p. 91
and
the
St. James Parish, Baltimore, Maryland 1787-1815.
Lucresy Nash (no parents)
St. James Parish Register, 1787-1815, Register of Births and
Christenings, Page 14
Further research in those same Catholic Church
Records
gives us the marriage of John Nash and Ann Couch July 3, 1783.
Are there
more older children? With five years between the marriage date and the
birth of
the oldest known child, it is likely that there is yet another child or
two
older than the ones we know.
The following is included for further research
and elimination of family and non family members.
The 1810 census for German Twp. Fayette Co.,
Pennsylvania
shows a John Nash over 45 and a Henry or Nathan Nash between 25 and 44.
According to the journal of Claude Cline, the children were orphaned
and
scattered. Whether they were orphaned at a young age is not known. We
now have
birth dates for Lucretia, Thomas and John Nash and an approximate date
for
Letitia . The Westmoreland family of Richard Nash moved to Fayette Co.,
Indiana
shortly after 1800. However, John, William and James Nash were still in
Westmoreland County as late as 1810.
Much speculation is aroused by an entry found in
the
Pennsylvania Archives since we know that David Jennings II married
Lucretia
Nash. How was Willam related to Lucretia? An uncle perhaps
as he was
too old to be her brother and we now know he is not her father.
William
Nash remained in Philadelphia. He and his wife Sarah had a son,
William born 28 March 1760, Baptized 30 March
1760 and a son Joseph born 14 January 1762 and baptized 14 March
1762 (Records of Christ Evangelical
Lutheran
Church, City of York, York County, Pennsylvania, 1733-1800) Did they
also raise a niece Lucretia Nash??? Her parents were still living until
she was at lest seven years old when her youngest known brother was
born.

prior to the Norman Conquest of 1066. The first of the line to come to
America was John Wise, who at the age of 18, left Gravesend, England
and settled on Accomack Island, Virginia where the family lived for
seven generations and they were involved in the military and political
life of the area.

Lemuel Eversole, a
prominent agriculturist of Jackson
township, residing on his farm in section 28, represents the sturdy,
independent spirit of our American manhood which has overcome all
obstacles encountered in the highways of life and has made our people
honored and respected among the nations of the world. Left an orphan in
early childhood, he has worked his way, unaided, to an independent
position. He is one of the large land-owners of Allen County, having
360 acres of well improved land, upon which he makes his home. Mr.
Eversole was born October 30, 1829, in Perry County, Ohio, and is a son
of Peter and Rebecca (Snyder) Eversole, being one of seven children that
grew to adult years, viz.: Eliza, Catherine, Francis, Nancy, Lemuel,
Rebecca and Daniel.
When our subject was a
child of two years, his parents moved to
Sandusky County where they died four years later, in 1835, within a
month of each other. Left alone in the world, Lemuel was taken into the
home of his uncle, John Eversole, of Perry County, where he remained
until he was 17. Educational opportunities were meager and consisted of
a short term schooling each winter. He was apprenticed to learn the
carpenter's trade, and for the three years thus engaged was given his
clothes and $30. Within three months after his time had expired, he was
on his way to California to seek his fortune in the gold fields. During
the two years spent in mining and gold-
washing, he did not make a fortune and decided to return to his native
State. In the spring of 1852 he come to Allen County where he purchased
a tract of wild land and secured work for the winter in the cabinet-shop
of Musser & Winn, of Lima. For another six years he worked at his
trade
in the eastern part of the county, living frugally and saving his
earnings so that he was able, by selling his first purchase, to buy his
present property. In 1872 he built a large, substantial bank barn, and
three years later his pleasant brick home, one of the most attractive in
the county.
He was
married July 8, 1855, to Sarah Nash, who was born July 11,
1837, and was a daughter of Thomas and Rebecca (Akins) Nash, early
settlers of this county. They were the parents of 12 children, viz.:
George W., Eliza J., wife of L. B. Harrod; Frank J., John E., Charles
A., Elva C., Daniel B., Nettie B., Lemuel N., Aura D., Ralph and a child
that died in infancy. Mr. Eversole is a member of the Christian Church.
He is a Repubican and a veteran of the Civil War, having enlisted as a
100 day man in May, 1864, in Company A, 151st Reg., Ohio Vol. Inf.,
under Captain King, of Delphos, with the rank of 2nd corporal. Mr.
Eversole is a prominent Odd Fellow. He has served as township trustee
and on the School Board and has never failed to put his shoulder to the
wheel when the voice of duty called him.
