JOSEPH GILLASPIE, P.O. Range, was born January 8, 1807, and came to Ohio when a child. His father was a native of "York State," and his mother of Ireland. He remained at home until seventeen years of age, when he went away to learn blacksmithing. After serving three years and six months as an apprentice, he began working as a journeyman, but soon relinquished his trade and began farming. Not meeting with success on the farm, he again took up his trade, after which he alternated between his trade and farming, until he finally purchased seventy-five acres, twenty-seven years ago, on which he now lives, having increased it to 710 acres. On April 8, 1838, he married Sarah Shepherd, by whom he has had nine children, viz.: James, born September 19, 1840; Isaiah, born February 11, 1844; samuel, born November 2, 1848; Francis, born February 16, 1850; Ruth Ann, born April 3, 1854; Washer, born November 15, 1856; Joseph, born March 28, 1859; Eliza, born April 28, 1839, and died August 11, 1840; and Margaret, born July 19, 1846, and died November 21, 1849
