Joseph Pancake was born in Virginia December 19, 1789; emigrated to Ohio, first to Ross County, thence, in 1806, came to Madison County, Range township, and was employed by William M. Linton to work on his farm; finally married Susan Linton, and soon after settled on land west of Midway, now owned by Reuben Slaughter. He served in the war of 1812, for which services he subsequently obtained a land warrant. His wife died, and he married Miss Corbitt. She lived only about one year, and he married for his third wife Mrs. Jane Dungan, nee Wilson, a native of Pennsylvania, the widow of Jessie Dungan, one of the early settlers of Range Township. With her he lived till his death, September 15, 1853, living, at the time of his death, in Midway. His wife died July 30, 1863. He was the father of four children by his first wife, two now living--Isaac and Jesse, residents of Illinois. By his last wife he had three children; two now survive--Jane, wife of D. E. Johnson, residing in Hardin County, Ohio; and James S. Mr. Pancake devoted his life to farming and at the time of his death had lived nearly half a century in Range Township, having been one of her earliest settlers, and passed through the varied trials, dangers and hardships of those times. And not only was he a pioneer in the secular affairs of the township, but was a pioneer in the Methodist Church, having been a member of the first class organized in this township, and of which he was one of the class-leaders. He served a long and devoted life in the church, and died esteemed and respected by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. James S. Pancake, the youngest child, still resides in Range Township, the place that gave him birth; has devoted his life to farming and is one of the reliable and respected citizens, one who has followed well the footsteps of his father, as pertains to an honorable and useful life, being an active and devoted worker and member of the Methodist Church.
