The Parke Co. Sheriff's Department is investigating an incident in which a grave in a rural cemetery was partially dug up. Sheriff Mike Eslinger said persons had dug into the graves of Thomas and Sarah LOUGH in the Seybold cemetery on Co. Rd. 227. Eslinger said it appeared the grave had been dug up down to one of the coffins and filled back in. He added that the persons cut through a three-inch tree root to get at the casket. It is not known when the incident happened. It was discovered July 2. Mr. Lough was buried in 1905 and his wife in 1911.

He is the son of Thomas and Nancy (Bishong) Lough, both natives of Cumberland County, Kentucky Thomas Lough and his father were musicians. Thomas was a drummer, and did good service in beating up volunteers, both in the Indian wars of the northwest territory and in the late war. His father served in the revolutionary war under Washington as fifer. Thomas B. Lough came to Indiana at the beginning of the rebellion and died in 1865, aged 77 years; his wife died in her 77th year, two days after her husband. Jacob Lough's paternal grandmother was Nancy Warner, cousin to George Washington. His maternal grandfather was captain of a company under Gen. Harrison. Jacob B. Lough was married in 1843 in Kentucky, and remained there till he could earn a vehicle to convey him to Parke County. By his first wife, he had 3 children: Thomas W, George W. and Sarepta D. His first wife, Rosanna Stalcup, died in 1846, aged 28 years. He was married a second time tin 1847, to Mrs. Emily J. (McGuffey) English. by this union he has two children: Elva J. and Perry J. He and his first and second wife and all his children are members of the Christian church. In politics he was formerly a Whig, but is now a republican. George W. was a soldier in the 21st Regiment Indiana Volunteers, and served 3 years. When Mr. Lough was married he and his wife had but a very limited share of this world's goods. He now owns a good farm of 305 acres and has it fairly stocked. he never cared for office and never was sued in his life. His education is that of the common schools of his boyhood.

He served in the Revolutionary War and fought against the Shawnee Indians who were employed by the British. On November 20, 1781, he qualified as too poor to purchase land at the state price, so he was granted four hundred acres, on the Big Benson Creek, March 18, 1784.In Lincoln Co. John married Jannet Summers. She is believed to have been born in Kentucky in the 1760's. John and Jennet raised tobacco and other crops in Lincoln Co., which later became Franklin Co.

In the 1790's John and his family moved to Chillicothe, Ross Co.,Ohio.,They are noted as one of Ohio's first families. Ohio was still in the Northwest Territory and not a state. John homesteaded a farm near Chillicothe of about two hundred and thirty acres. Its location was described as follows:
Beginning at the sycamores at the mouth of Patrus, now running south 55 poles to a sugar tree , thence south 166 poles to a white oak,thence east 64 poles to a white oak, thence south east 38 poles to a hickory.....thence in a direct line to the Seido River, then with meanders back to the place of beginning.

On their farm they raised one of the oldest and most valuable apple orcahrds in Ross County . The farm was said, after John's death, to be worth $3500.

In 1822, John, who was described as old and infirm met and married the widow, Elizabeth Breedlove, November 14. John died in 1825 *about 65 years old (and probably was buried in Ross County. A law suit filed October 13, 1827 by John and Jennet's heirs alleged that Elizabeth married John only to get his property and to keep it from his children. The case was not proved.

John and Jacob were privates in the Revolutionary War serving with the Lincoln County, Kentucky Militia in 1781 and 1782. Also there is evidence that these two brothers were under the command of Brig. Gen. George Rogers Clark in the Expedition against the Shawnees in 1782.

Notes:

SOURCE: BUSHONG BULLETIN 15:2 (SUMMER 1999) P. 28 - Five children were proven in Ross Co Ohio Chancery case dated 13 Oct 1827, in which heirs of John Bushong are protesting the Breedlove family taking over John's realestate and property. A complete transcript of this document appeared in the Bushong Bulletin, 1:2:3. In it, John Mitchell & Sally his wife, Jacob, Jemima & Delilah Bushong (children of James Bushong deceased)infants, vs Baylies Breedlove etal.

Among statements made in this document are: "...that the wife of said John Bushong and the mother and grandmother of your orator & others herein after mentioned have departed this life and the said John being old & inform was pirated and drawn into intimacy with one Elizabeth Breedlove, widow, and mother of Balies Breedlove; the marriage was solemnized on 11 Nov 1822 in this county, and Elizabeth with her family came to reside upon the land of John; John's children saw with regret that the said Elizabeth and sons were gaining an undue influence over their father, ...that their design was to wrest the farm from the old man, and if possible instead of breeding love to breed hatred malice and ill will between him and his own children.Some time after the conveyance was made, the said John Bushong, Nancy Young (wife of James Young) of age,and your orators Jacob Bushong,Jemima Bushong & Delilah Bushong, infants and children and heirs of James Bushong, son of John the elder and then lately deceased, that your orator John Mitchel & Sally his wife, for consideration since the decease of the ancestor had purchased all the right and title of the heirs John & George Bushong and James Young & Nacyhis wife... allright to the estate of their said Father, that the deceased John Bushong the ancestor left personal property of greatvalue..."

John Mitchell etal lost the case, but he later sued Baylies Breedlove for slander and was awarded $1,000 by the court. (Ross Co OhioChanceryRecords).

We believe she was actually Patrick Young's daughter, born the year of his death and so was probably given the name "Summers" since her mother married John Summers the same year of her husband's death. He would have been the only father she knew and it's likely he adopted her children. Read the comments under Isabella, legal documents mentioning their names,etc.

SOURCE: pattywoo@bellsouth.net (Patty Woodall)

(Until I have proof that this is not the case, I will leave her with this family.)

Name:
"Summers" was probably her last name, due to her mother's remarriage shortly after her father's death.
