EDWARD NEWLOVE. This veteran farmer and stock-raiser, although approaching the seventy-ninth year of his age, is still actively engaged in his chosen calling, and is pleasantly located on a well-developed farm in Harmony Township, Clark County. He presents an admirable example of the results of industry and economy, and from a modest beginning in life has climbed up to a good position, socially and financially, among his fellow-men. His native place was on the other side of the Atlantic, in Woldnewton, Yorkshire, England, and the date of his birth November 26, 1811.

In noting the family history of Mr. Newlove we find that he is the son of Joseph and Ann (Hornsey) Newlove, who were natives of the same place as their son, where they were reared and married, and lived until 1821. Edward was then a lad ten years of age. That year they decided upon emigrating to America, and coming directly to Ohio located on the land he now owns and occupies. The parents endured many of the hardships incident to the early settlement of the county, and the mother after a residence of twenty years in America, departed this life at the homestead, in 1841. Joseph Newlove survived his wife only seven years, dying in 1848. He was a life-long farmer by occupation, and became well-to-do, accumulating three hundred and twenty acres of land. Of this our subject owns two hundred and forty five acres. The parents were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Their family consisted of four sons and four daughters, all of whom with the exception of one daughter came to the United States. The latter died in England, leaving one son, Joseph Tennock.

The subject of this notice attended school in his native England, where he received the most of his education. He was taught to make himself useful on the farm at an early age, and shortly after reaching his majority began making arrangements for the establishment of a home of his own. With this end in view he was married, in January, 1833, to Miss Ann Carter, daughter of Lewis and Sarah (Calvert) Wood. Mrs. Newlove was born in Virginia, and emigrated with her parents to Ohio at an early day, they settling in Clark County. This union resulted in the birth of seven children, viz.: Edward Hornsey, deceased; Mary E., George B., Sarah J., Henry O., Robert W. and Benjamin W. Mr. and Mrs. Newlove have for many years been members of the Methodist Protestant Church. During the Civil War Mr. Newlove was an active supporter of the Union cause, and his son, Henry O., served three years in the Forty-fourth Ohio Infantry and the Eighth Cavalry. Mr. Newlove is the only survivor of his father’s family.

Mrs. Newlove’s father, Lewis Wood, was the only child of John Ennis and Frances (Carter) Wood. They lived and died on James River. After the death of John E. Wood, his wife made her home with her son Lewis until her death, which occurred while living in Thoroughfare, Prince William County, Va. The grandparents of Mrs. Newlove on the mother’s side were John and Winnefred (Smith) Calvert, natives of Virginia, near Dumfries. The grandfather died in that State, but the grandmother emigrated to Portsmouth, Ohio. She married a second time after coming to Ohio a man by the name of Moore, and removed to Muncie, Ind., where she died.
