Thomas Poland and Mary Grimes were married on July 18, 1839, in Richland County, OH.
THOMAS POLAND, farmer; P. O., Lexington; was born Dec. 16, 1816, in Franklin Co., Penn.,; his parents were natives of that State - his father, John Poland of Franklin Co., and his mother, Rachel (Cookston) Poland of Adams Co. His father was a farmer by occupation, and in 1832 he moved to Richland Co., where he lived four years. He then bought eighty acres of "school land" in this county, on which he lived for more than thirty years, when he sold it and moved to Indiana.
At the age of 17, Thomas commenced working at the carpenter trade which he followed for thirty years. When 19 he walked to the city of Baltimore and returned as far as Pennsylvania, where he worked during the summer, and then came home. He was the first man in this part of the county to pack and ship apples; he was engaged in the produce business several years, and in the lumber trade some five years, during which he owned a portable saw-mill a short time. In all these ventures he has been eminently successful, being now worth near twenty-four thousand dollars. He is a member of the I. O. O. F., and a charter member of the Patrons of Husbandry, of which he is a lecturer; he also helped organize a Mutual Fire Insurance Company, and is one of the Directors.
He married in July, 1838, to Mary, daughter of Lewis and Catharine Grimes. She was born Jan. 18, 1815, in Lancaster Co., Pa. To them eight children were born; six are living - Simon, Mary A., Alexander, Hannah J., Thomas J. and W. Scott. All are married, and the oldest three sons served in the late war.
