But, not withstanding such surroundings in his (Abijah Van Sickle) early days, the subject of this sketch grew to manhood, and, Jan. 2, 1842, was married to Mahala Brown, a daughter of Dr. James E. and Mary (Ford) Brown. She was born near Pittsburgh, Pa., and removed with her parents to Meigs County, Ohio, at an early day. Dr. Brown was a soldier in the War of 1812, and faithfully served his country during that struggle. After going to Meigs County he studied medicine, and for many years was a practicing physician. His practice extended over a large scope of country, and in attending his patients he was frequently from home for weeks at a time. There were four children in the family who lived to be adults, but all have since died save Mrs. Van Sickle. Dr. and Mrs. Brown were members of the Free-Will Baptist Church, dying in that faith many years ago in Meigs County. The Doctor was a man of more than ordinary ability, and the family stood high in the esteem of all their acquaintances.
