# From Margery Jones website
The following was sent to David Fenton, from Jo Emblen, and then to me.
I am researching the Fenton family and I recently came across a letter
written on March 06, 1829. from John Fenton who was my great great
grandfather, to Elizabeth (Fenton) Fackler, wife of Samuel Fackler: At the time of the letter Enos Jones and Rebecca Fenton Jones were living in Muskingum Co., Ohio. Enos's first marriage was to Rebecca's sister Matilda Fenton. She died and he married Rebecca.
"March 6, 1829

I was at a fox hunt their was about five hundred people out that day and we caut two foxes we saw five but got but two. John Peterson is going to move away to the warbash at the mouth of sepacanic river. he wrote to Enos to cum and go with him. Enos had a notion to go but giv out the notion.

# This is taken from the History of Grant Co., Indiana, and Biographical Sketches, page. 905-906.
William M. Kirkpatrick, one of the oldest and most highly esteemed pioneers of Van Buren Township, Grant Co., Indiana, is a native of Guernsey County, Ohio, where he was born January 08, 1811. The parents from whom he descended were Thomas B. and Mary (Henthorn) Kirkpatrick, natives of Ireland and Pennsylvania. The former, Thomas B. Kirkpatrick, was born in Ireland in May 1773. his father, Alexander Kirkpatrick, was also a native of Ireland, where he married a Miss Johnston, and always remained until death. They were the parents of six children, viz.: Margaret, Richard, William, Johnston, Christina, and Thomas B. father of our subject, the next to the eldest member of the family. He emigrated from Ireland to the United States in a very early day and settled in the State of Pennsylvania, where he was united in the year of 1800 to the above Mary, daughter of James and Nancy (Collins) Henthorn, who was a resident and also a native of Pennsylvania. In the year 1806 they moved to Guernsey County, Ohio, where he served as associate judge for several years, and afterward resided until death, which occurred in August 1852. Thirteen children were born to them, viz: Richard, Henry, James, Alexander, John, William M., Lucinda, Nancy, Margaret, Mary A., Thomas, Eliza and Fletcher W.

In the History of Guernsey County, Ohio, PP. 952-953:
"Five townships were laid off at the first meeting of the county commissioners, April 23, 1810. Present at the meeting were persons from various parts of the County, who were interested in the formations and their names. Amongst these were David Wherry, and Thomas B. Kirkpatrick, one of the associate judges, both of whom lived in the division that became Oxford Township. In deference to the wishes of these gentlemen the commissioners requested them to suggest a suitable name. "I came from Oxford shire, England," said David Wherry, "and I would like to have it called Oxford, in honor of my old home." "That suits me," added Judge Kirkpatrick, "because my ancestors came from Oxford, a little town in Ireland." Thus it is that Oxford has both an English and an Irish Origin.
