NEWSPAPER ARTICLE
Pioneers - Northrup and Mathias Families
....Very early in the forties John and Sarah (Honon) Northrup came into Paulding County and settled on the Maumee River near Cecil. However in 1842, Mr. Northrup moved on part of which constitutes the southwest section of Payne. The cabin was built back of where now stands the home owned by Miss Nell Bradley across the run on South Main Street. In making the move it was necessary to make two trips. On the first trip Hiram, a lad of twelve, was left in charge of the cabin and its contents. While the father was gone Indians visited the cabin and not only terribly scared the poor boy, took away with them all the food left for the hungry boy. No doubt he was thankful they left him and his scalp.
...The experience as related by him was very tragic for so young a boy. The father intended returning the same day to the cabin where Hiram was left, but before he could get back the ice thawed on the Maumee river and it was seven days before he was able to return to the lonely boy. In the meantime the Indians had paid the boy a visit asking for corn. They left, but soon afterward returned bringing a strip of bark. One of them pointed to his own neck then to Hiram's then to his own neck, then to a rafter. Hiram understood that they meant to hang him. In Indian language he told them the "Mokey Man" would be along by and by, meaning his father. They replied "you lie, you nothing but a papoose," and began to close in on him. The brave boy grabbed the gun and pulled the trigger, but as there was tow sticking on the cap it did not discharge, but it was sufficient to send them on the run. Hiram then barricaded the windows and door by piles of wood and bored holes through the casing to shoot through. He made his bed and went to sleep with gun and knife for companions. The nearest neighbor was Theodore Merchant near the bridge northeast of town. It was a week later when the father rescued the boy from his prison.
...John Northrup soon became a leader among the pioneers for the organization and advancement of this part of the county. The first election was held in his house in 1843 of which we will give a history later. The family were members of the United Bretheren church. Mr. Northrup was so intensely religious that at times it bordered on fanatacism; but the real motive and principle of this pioneer was never doubted.
...John and Sarah (Horton) Northup had four children. Hiram the eldest was born in New York, March 18, 1827. On April 1850 Hiram was married by John Fisher, Esq., to Victoria Shelley who was born in France, March 20, 1832, daughter of Francis and Mary J. Shelley. To this union was born Andrew Jackson, May 17, 1851, who chose for his wife Nettie Grooms. After her death he married Julia Shoeble. The second wife died near Stroh, Indiana, where he married again.
...Francis was the second son of Hiram and Victoria Northup. He was born April 2, 1853 and died Feb. 10, 1873. William Henry the third son was born March 12, 1858. He married Nora Singer and lives east of Payne.
...Charles E. the fourth son was born Feb. 13, 1870, and never married. The mother of these sons died April 23, 1879. Hiram Northrup on June 15, 1882 was united in marriage to Mrs. Jane Mathias who is still living with her daughter Mrs. Stella Underwood. Nr. Northrup died April 10, 1908.
...William was the second son of John and Sarah Northup and was born in New york. He married Rebecca Stabler to whom was born one son John, who with his giant stature has been for years a familiar figure on our streets. Lewis the third son never married. The history of Sarah the only daughter and last one living of John Northup's family was given with the Snellenbarger family. (Source: Florence N.

Hiram Northup--was born in New York State, March 18, 1827, and settled in this county in 1843.

They have the following children: Andrew J., born May 17, 1854; Francis, April 2, 1853, died February 10, 1873; William H., March 12, 1858; Charles E., February 13, 1870. his two brothers, William and Lewis served in the late war. Mr. Northup's parents were John Northup and Sarah (Horton) Northup, both deceased; his wife's parents were Francis and Mary J. Shelley, the former deceased. The first election held in this township was at his father's house, in 1843. Five votes were cast in this township proper. This election was comprised of four townships, namely, Blue Creek, Paulding, Harrison and Benton. The entire vote cas was twelve. Mr. Northup is engaged in farming, and his post office address is Payne, Paulding county, Ohio. (Source: "History of Northwestern Ohio-History of Paulding County" by Everett A.
