Notes:

Willis R. Honeyman, Miami county is indebted for some of its best citizenship to the emigrants from Virginia, who have contributed materially to the agricultural development of this region. From this eastern community of settled conditions and ideals have journeyed many whose names stand for sterling worth in the Miami valley and among them none are more typical than the Honeyman family, a worthy representative of which is found in Willis R. Honeyman, of Monroe township. Mr. Honeyman was born December 11, 1865, in this township, a son of Eli and Annie (Miller) Honeyman, natives of the same county, and a grandson of an early settler from Virginia. The parents passed their entire lives in agricultural pursuits in this county, where both were held in the highest esteem. They had seven children, of whom only two are living: Willis R., and Oliver, who is now living retired at Dayton after many years of agricultural activities, having sold his share in the home estate to this brother. Willis R. Honeyman acquired his education in the public schools after leaving which he began farming on the home place, and after the death of his parents obtained a share of the home place. Later he bought the interest of his brother, and at this time is farming 118 acres, all in a high state of cultivation and with excellent improvements. Mr. Honeyman is a farmer and stock raiser of intelligence, experience and capability, a business man with an excellent reputation for soundness and integrity, and a citizen who has supported all worthy movements both in times of peace and war. He married, November 3, 1886, Hattie Cordelia, daughter of Philip and Mary ( Schrader) Vance, of Troy, and to this union there have been born six children: Bertha, the wife of Harvey Gray, of Tippecanoe City, and Robert, John, Albert, Glenn and Roy at home. During the recent war period, Robert and Albert were particularly active in the sale of war savings stamps, and the other members of the family also did their share in the various movements. Mr. Honeyman is a member of the Knights of Pythias.

Willis married Hattie Cordelia Vance on 3 Nov 1886 in Miami County, Ohio, United States. Hattie (daughter of Phillip Vance and Mary Schrader) was born on 1 Jun 1868 in Troy, Miami County, Ohio, United States; died on 29 Apr 1935 in Monroe Township, Miami County, Ohio, United States; was buried on 1 May 1935 in Nashville, Miami County, Ohio, United States.

...Samuel, served with the First Philadelphia Regiment during the Revolutionary War. During the latter years of his life, he removed his family to Hampshire County, West Virginia, the only son Charles, with his wife Barbara Moore, moved to Miami county with most of their children. Their son, John, bought the Honeyman homestead in 1834. John and wife, Mary Orm were the parents of Eli W., who married Anna Miller. Their son Oliver Miller Honeyman, married Mary Elizabeth Cress.

History / Bio:

...Eli W. Honeyman, farmer; P. O. Troy; is a prominent farmer; his parents, John and Mary Honeyman, of Virginia, were pioneers, who emigrated to Miami County early in its settlement. John was a soldier in the war of 1812; we regret so little can be learned of them. Eli was born in Miami County, May 14, 1834; Sept. 29, 1859, he was united in marriage to Miss Annie, daughter of John and Mary Miller. They were also pioneers, and should have a place in this history; their children were ten in number, four only survive--Albert, whose sketch appears in connection with other noted men of Monroe Township, Thomas J., Rhoda Z. and Annie, the wife of Eli Honeyman. They have been the parents of seven children, of whom Oliver M., Willis R., Mattie and Ory, survive; Oliver was born March 7, 1863; Willis, Dec. 11, 1865; Mattie, May 27, 1872; Ory, Jan. 4, 1874. They are all attending school and learning rapidly. Mr. Honeyman has always been prosperous in business, and owns a nice farm of 119 acres; he has been connected with the public schools in capacity of Director. He is a conservative Republican and a good neighbor. (Reference: Evansville, Indiana: Unigraphic, Inc., 1973, reprint, "The History of Miami County Ohio", (Original by W. H. Beers and County, 1880), pg. 650)

Eli married Anna Miller on 29 Sep 1859 in Miami County, Ohio, United States. Anna was born on 18 Jul 1838 in Kessler, Miami County, Ohio, United States; died on 22 Feb 1918 in Union Township, Miami County, Ohio, United States; was buried on 24 Feb 1918 in Miami County, Ohio, United States.
