JOHN HEATH, stock-dealer, P.O. West Jefferson, was born in Pleasant Township February 29, 1822. He is the son of David and Nancy (Thomas) Heath. The former, who was raised near Chillicothe, came to this county about sixty years ago, and settled in Pleasant Township, where he married, and where he still lives. They had ten children – four boys and six girls – of whom three boys and four girls still survive. One subject remained at home until April 19, 1856, when he married Sarah A. Anderson, a native of Pleasant Township, and a daughter of Stephen and Margaret (BLackwell) Anderson, both natives of Kentucky, where they married in 1851, and shortly after, moved to this county. They had five boys and five girls, of whom four boys and four girls still survive. Mr. and Mrs. Heath have had four children, viz., Emma, wife of Frank Howard, of this township; Alice, wife of Israel Brown, of Mechanicsburg; Louie, wife of John W. Burns; and Charley. Mr. Burns devoted his time largely to Farming, but in the past few years, he turned his attention to raising, buying, trading and shipping cattle, which he carries on extensively. He is a Republican in politics. Mrs. Heath is a member of the Methodist Church.
