Henry McAninch (1777-1856) and Family in Jackson County, Ohio |
|
There were six different ‘First Generation’ early McA/Ninch pioneers in western Pennsylvania: |
Archibald, born 1760-1765, and Henry, born 18 May 1777 , who went separately west to Ohio; |
Daniel, born 1750-1755, and William, born bef.1765, who went together southwest to Kentucky; |
and John McAninch, born ca.1760, and William, born 1770-1775, who remained in Pennsylvania |
[see "First Generation: Six McA/Ninch’s in early western Pennsylvania", Note 1]. |
Henry McAninch was born 18 May 1777, in Pennsylvania [eastern or central Pennsylvania?] [2]. |
Henry acquired 150 acres of land in Buffalo Township, Armstrong County, and Henry married |
Mary Lucas from adjacent Indiana County, Pennsylvania [3]. Henry and Mary sold their land in |
1807 [4], and went west to Ohio (first, near Zanesville, Muskingum County, probably in 1808 [5]; |
then, second, south-east down-river to Waterford, Washington County, in 1816, and then Henry |
and Mary settled in Jackson County, Ohio, in 1830) [Notes 1, 2, 3, and Tax Lists, Note 6]. |
The family can be also be traced through the various Federal Census records, 1820 through 1860 |
[note, however that there is no 1810 census record for Henry in Muskingum County, Ohio, since |
all of the Ohio 1810 Federal Census records (except Washington County) were destroyed by the |
British during the War of 1812]. |

All three of Henry and Mary’s daughters got married during the 1820’s: |
|
1. daughter Anna C. married David Tilton, 11 Nov. 1824, in Washington County, Ohio [Note 8] |
|
2. daughter Nancy married Phillip Noel, 24 Aug. 1826, also in Washington County, Ohio [Note 9] |
|
3. and daughter Sarah 'Sally' married Eli Moore, 17 Apr. 1829, in Jackson County, Ohio [Note 10] |
Eli Moore, born 1808, Scioto County, Ohio, was living in Jackson County, Ohio, in the 1820’s |
(Jackson County was erected in 1816 from parts of Scioto, Gallia, Athens, and Ross counties). |
|
Henry and Mary then went to Jackson County, Ohio, where Eli Moore and their daughter Sarah |
‘Sally’ (McAninch) Moore were already living. Henry acquired land in Jackson County, buying |
his first 80 acres in February 1830, and then another 80 acres in March 1832 [Note 11]. |
