Fourth Generation
42. Frances A Campbell (Ann Callin-3, John-2, James "1st"-1) was born on 30 Mar 1842 in Ashland, Ohio and grew up in Milton and Ashland, Ashland County, Ohio. She married John Bently Hoot on 20 Feb 1862 in Ashland, Ohio.
John Bently Hoot, son of Nathaniel Hoot and Phebe Onstott, was born on 15 Mar 1839 in Wayne County, Ohio. (John was the older half-brother of Catherine Hoot, who married Frances’s brother, Harrison Campbell, above.) He grew up in Perry, Ashland County and Franklin, Richland County, Ohio.
After John and Frances married, they lived in Richland County, Ohio, where he registered for the draft in 1863. John enlisted on 27 Feb 1865 in Company A, Ohio 196th Infantry Regiment, mustering in as a private on 21 Mar 1865. He mustered out on 11 Sep 1865 at Baltimore, Maryland.
After the war, they raised their family in Orange, Ashland County, Ohio, where John worked as a saddler (or harness maker); they appeared on the Census there in 1870 and 1880. They later retired and moved to Mount Vernon, Knox County, Ohio, where they were living in 1900.
Frances died on 27 Nov 1905 at the age of 63 in Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio, and was buried in Nankin Cemetery in Nankin, Ashland County, Ohio. John remained in Columbus, where he appeared in 1910 and 1920. He died on 1 Feb 1923 at the age of 83 in Columbus, and was buried in Nankin Cemetery with his wife.
From the biographical sketch of their son, Byron A. Hoot, in A.J. Baughman’s History of Ashland County, Ohio:
“John B. Hoot, his son, after receiving his education in the public schools was apprenticed to the harness and saddlery making trade under William Ilger, of this city, and after becoming a journeyman he entered the Union army, serving throughout the conflict. Later he removed to Orange, this county, where he rented a saddlery shop for many years, often employing in the neighborhood of seven men, and he was acknowledged throughout the county as being unsurpassed as a saddler and harness maker, the goods of his making having been shipped to all parts of the country. Upon leaving Orange, he removed to Mt. Vernon where he engaged as foreman of a saddlery shop for ten years. In 1903 he retired from active life and took up his residence in Columbus, Ohio, where he now resides. In politics he is a republican, always loyal to the candidates of his party, and, being a man of pleasing personality and excellent traits of character, he is surrounded by many friends. Now as he enjoys the comforts secured by active life, he may look back without regrets, knowing that his youthful and manly energies have been in every respect well spent. His wife was a native of Montgomery township, this county, born in 1842, and was a daughter of Henry Campbell, also a native of this county, whose father came here from Pennsylvania at an early date and was one of the most progressive and prosperous farmers of Montgomery township, where he pursued agriculture for many years, but during his later days lived in retirement in the city of Mansfield, Ohio. Mrs. Hoot departed this life in 1905 in her sixty-third year.”
