    Samuel and Jane Stonehocker
    The son of Michael
    ntblntblntbl Samuel Stonehocker Jane (Elliott) Stonehocker
    Samuel was born on January 15, 1820 in the White Eyes Township of Coshocton County, OH. He married Jane Elliott , a daughter of Irish immigrants, on Dec 1, 1842. Samuel and Jane had nine children. One of the first recorded histories of Samuel shows that he served in the 143rd Ohio Infantry Regiment during the time of the Civil War. He would have been 44 years old at the time. The following is a record of the 143rd's history.

    143rd Regiment, Ohio Infantry National Guard Organized at Camp Chase, Ohio, and mustered in May 12, 1864. Left State for Washington, D.C., May 15. Guard duty at Forts Slemmer, Totten, Slocum and Stevens, attached to 1st Brigade, Haskins' Division, 22nd Army Corps, till June 8. Moved to White House Landing June 8, thence to Bermuda Hundred. Assigned to 1st Brigade, 3rd Division, 10th Army Corps, Army of the James. Duty in the trenches at Bermuda Hundred, City Point and Fort Pocohontas till August 29. Ordered to Camp Chase, Ohio, and mustered out September 13, 1864. Regiment lost during service 32 Enlisted men by disease. Total 32.
    The 1850 and 1860 census list Samuel as living in Coshocton County, Ohio with his occupation as being a farmer. Leaving his birth- state after the Civil War, Samuel moved to the Nodaway County, Missouri area in April of 1865 at the age of 45 (Source: Jane's. obituary) . The 1870 and 1880 Censuses show Samuel as being in the Nodaway County area. His occupation is listed as being a farmer in both census.
    The first recorded mention of Samuel in the Nodaway County area is when it is noted that land owned by Samuel and others was used to establish the town site of Barnard (Source: Barnard Bulletin Nov. 1925]]. "The town was laid out by a town company consisting of A. P. Morehouse, A.J. Dearing, John McFarland, Samuel Stonehocker, ect?." And goes on to state "The first building was erected by Samuel Stonehocker in April, 1870." At one point in the town history it is stated that "Samuel Stonehocker owns a paint shop on the west side going north on 4th Street." At another time it speaks of "Stonehocker Street." The street still carries that name today. (Source: Barnard, It's History" January 19, 1883 Nodaway Democrat.)
    On Jan. 25, 1871 the Nodaway Democrat reports " Not withstanding the hard times Barnard is improving, some four or five houses having been built in the last few days. Uncle Sammy Stonehocker , the kind and obliging host of the "Barnard House " has just completed a large and commodious stable where tired and hungry horses will be well cared for." Later in 1872 on April 24th the same paper reports " Uncle Sam Stonehocker is prepared to furnish the best accommodations and good grub for the way-worn traveler. The next month on May 1st the paper makes mention that "The Masonic festival and ball given at Barnard on last Thursday, (day and evening) was a complete success being well attended, and one of the most enjoyable entertainments given in this section in a long time. All night long the ball was crowded with the merry dancers, keeping time to the witching music of the band. At 12 o'clock at night a splendid supper was spread at the Barnard Hotel, kept by Uncle Sam Stonehocker, and full justice was done to the good things provided for the occasion. After supper a fine cake was voted to the handsomest young lady in the room, and it was awarded to Miss. Sarah Ann Stonehocker, daughter of the worthy landlord of the hotel ?"

    An early day map of Barnard, Missouri. Notice that Stonehocker Street appears on the map. Stonehocker Street is still in Barnard, Missouri today.
    Samuel and Jane surely celebrated the marriage of their children as all but one of their children married in the Barnard area.
    In 1882 (Source: Nodaway Democrat Sept. 20, 1888 and Jane's obituary) Samuel and Jane moved to the Elk County, Kansas area staying but a couple of years before moving on to Ashland, Kansas in 1885.
    Their youngest son, Samuel Ackerman was doing a very good business in that area. The western Kansas area had long been range for the cattle herders until settlers began to arrive in the 1880s.Samuel would have been in his mid 60's by that time. Records at the Clark County court house show that Samuel purchased "Lots 13-15 Blk 3 Longs add to Ashland in March of 1893 from G. W. Wilson and sold the lots on July 14, 1896 to J.W. Thomas."
    No further information has been discovered as of this writing concerning Samuel and Jane's life in Ashland, Kansas. It is assumed that they most likely moved there to be near their youngest son, Samuel Ackerman Stonehocker. "S.A.", as Samuel Ackerman was known, had lived in the area for many years previous to their arriving and had done quite well in many business ventures. Jane would pass away on Dec. 8, 1894 and be buried in the Highland Cemetery.
    ntbl It is known that Samuel made one last trip back to the town that he helped establish when on July 4th 1895 the Nodaway Democrat reported that "Uncle Sammy Stonehocker, Barnard's first boniface, arrived here Tuesday for an extended visit in this locality. His home is in Ashland, Kansas. He left here thirteen years ago. He is the same old Uncle Sammy of yore, when Barnard was young, wild and wooly".
    (As printed in the Nodaway Democrat.)
    After Jane's death, Samuel's son, S.A. would leave the Ashland area and open a hardware store in Corbin, Kansas. It might be assumed that Samuel would live much of his last years in S.A.'s home since the 1900 census records Samuel as living with him there.
    The Wellington-Monitor Press began to report in April of 1901 that "Grampa Stonehocker is quite proorly."
    It again makes mention of Samuel's condition in a later newspaper that month. Finally on April 24, 1901 the paper states that "Grandpa Stonehocker died Monday?at 4:20 o'clock after a lingering illness. He was a kind old gentleman and well liked by all. He bore his illness with out a murmur. His remains were sent via Santa Fe (Railroad) to Ashland, Clark County to be interred beside his wife who died some eight years ago. His son S.A. Stonehocker, accompanied?
