BAUGHMAN, CHRISTIAN, farmer, Miller township, was born in Adams county, Pennsylvania, April 27, 1807. His parents, Christian and Elizabeth Baughman nee Bair, emigrated from Pennsylvania about 1811, and came to Muskingum county, Ohio, settling about seven milea south of Zanesville, where they lived and died. They came to this county in a one horse wagon. They had thirteen children, eight of whom are living, one died in infancy. The children were named John (deceased), Jacob (murdered August 28, 1863, in Muskingum county), Christian, Joseph (deceased), Adam (deceased), Samuel, Elizabeth (married to Isaac Logan), Solomon, and Jesse. Mr. Baughman, the subject of this notice, was reared on a farm and commenced to assist his father when quite young to clear land. His schooling was limited as his parents needed his services and there was but three months' school taught in each year.
Mr. Baughman remained in Muskingum county and followed the occupation of farming until February, 1850, when he removed to Miller township, Knox county, where he purchased a farm of one hundred and seventy-six acres, and has resided on this farm to the present time. Previous to his coming to Knox county he had earned the money to pay for this farm. Since he has lived here he has purchased considerable more land, and is now one of the largest landowners in the township. He is a good farmer, and his farm shows the work of care and experience.
