When JOHN ROACH was born, April 20, 1811 in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, England, his father, JOHN, was 30 and his mother, MARY (née LOSEBY), was 28. He married ELIZABETH (née EAMES) on April 4, 1831, in Clipston, Northamptonshire, England. They had seven children during their marriage, all born in England.
John and Elizabeth and five of their children, embarked at Liverpool, in March, 1856, and landed at Castle Garden, New York, in the following May. The City of Mobile (see below) had quite a tempestuous passage, but arrived at its destination safely. While waiting to move west, the wharf on which was stowed the baggage of the emigrants gave way, and nearly all the personal effects were precipitated into the ocean, and most of the same were lost.
After a brief stay in New York, Mr. Roach and family proceeded up the Hudson River to Albany, and took the cars there for Amherst (Ohio), where they remained until the following fall. Meanwhile, John lost his wife. John never remarried.
Mr. Roach settled on Plum Creek, in Carlisle Township, where he remained about one year. In 1861 he permanently located on the place in Eaton Township where he now lives, which is a neatly kept and well cultivated farm of fifty acres, having upon it comfortable buildings.
John and Elizabeth's seven children, three sons and four daughters, were, namely: Mary, who married Samuel Maddock of Henry County, Ohio; Ann, who married Henry Townsend of Carlisle Township; Joseph, who married Eliza Bonner, now living in Nebraska; William, who was killed in the army, by the accidental discharge of a comrade's revolver in 1862; Betsey, who married Henry Montague, and resides on the adjoining farm to her father; Sophia, who married Peter Watts, Kingston, Indiana.
In politics Mr. Roach was a Republican. He held the offices of Township Trustee, and Supervisor of the Road District in Eaton Township. In religious belief he was a Baptist. He was an industrious and economical farmer; honest and fair in his dealings with others, and one of whom it can be truly said that he was an upright man, a good neighbor and citizen. He died on December 21, 1888, in Carlisle, Ohio, having lived a long life of 78 years, and was buried in Eaton, Ohio at the Butternut Ridge Cemetery.
