TIMOTHY, QUAKER AND REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER
From Richard Ridgway, Quaker and immigrant from England in
1679, it is said "a direct line of Richards followed down to Richard,
whose son Timothy was born in Sussex county, New Jersey, where the
family settled."
"TIMOTHY RIDGWAY, a farmer by occupation, was a soldier in
the Revolution, who rejoined the Friends after the expiration of his
service in the army. He married Michael Johnson and their children
were David, Paul, Job, Levina, John, Richard and Keziah. Timothy
Ridgway emigrated to Greene county, Pennsylvania, in 1794, and resided
there until 1812, when he moved to Ohio, settling in Harrison county,
where he cleared a tract of land in the dense forest and made a good
farm, also entering land for his children. He died in that county in 1834sic,
an honored and respected citizen of sterling worth, who reared a number
of children to be excellent citizens." (Biographical and Genealogical History
