Horace Halladay was born in Brattleboro, Vermont, October 12, 1797, and came to Ohio with his father [Eli], mother [Catherine] and family in 1816. In the summer of 1821 Horace went back to Massachusetts and went to school there, at an Academy. Returning to Ohio he went into partnership with his brother Able, farming, potash, and the manufacturing of potash. He was married to Phoebe Carpenter of New London Township on August 19, 1829. They moved to Huron, Erie Country, in the autumn of 1834 and settled on the farm now owned by Henry Merthe. His father and mother came with them. He built a log house and barn and dug a well, getting the stone for the well at East Norwalk. He sold that farm to Samuel P. McDonald in 1835 and bought what was then known as the Sturgis farm on the Sand Street road. He finished the barn, which was partly enclosed and then bought 124 acres adjoining it on the East.
