Notes:

David moved from Virginia, where he was born, to Fayette County, Pennsylvania where he married his second wife, Isabel Long. He removed about 1827 to near Brownsville, and Dunlapsville, Indiana. He was remembered for the way he dressed: David Honeyman wore the conventional dress of Revolutionary times; standing collar, frock over-coat and leggins, all of a buckskin shade, and tall beaver hat. He rode on horseback and carried saddle-bags. On the Fourth of July there could be expected a rally of the oldest citizens at the town of Dunlapsville where a platform would be erected for thirteen of the oldest men. When the Declaration of Independence was read, and speech-making indulged in, David Honeyman, a patriotic Democrat, would take his share in the proceedings. He had a characteristic saying "This is a cold wet rain", and the saying became a byword. His neighbors would say: "It's one of Dave Honeyman's rains." David left Brownsville in 1864, and resided in New Boston, Illinois. (Source: Marie Wilson Musgrave, "The Honeyman Family", July 1995, pg. 9)

...David, of New Boston, Ill., b. Mar. 26, 1802; de. Mar. 18, 1874; m. (1) name of wife unknown, who died about one year after the marriage; (2) Sept. 10, 1823, Isabel Long (dau. of Andrew and Jemima Long, of Fayette County, Pa.); who was b. Sept. 15, 1800 and d. Sept. 11, 1856.
...He early went from West Virginia, where he was born, to Pennsylvania, where he married his second wife, and removed about 1827 to near Brownsville and Dunlapsville, Ind. He is stated to be deserving of more than usual notice. One who remembers him well writes: "David honeyman wore the conventional dress of Revolutionary times, viz., standing collar, frock over-coat and leggins, all of a buckskin shade, and tall beaver hat. He rode on horseback and carried saddlebags. I, as a boy, knew him by this dress and his patriotism. On the Fourth of July there could be expected a rally of the oldest citizens at the town of Dunlapsville where a platform would be erected for thirteen of the oldest men. when the Declaration fo independence was read, and speech-making indulged in, David Honeyman, a patriotic Democrat, would take his share in the proceedings. I remember a characteristic saying of his that "This is a cold wet rain," and the saying became a byword. His neighbors would say: 'It's one of Dave Honeyman's rains.' His son William J., was also a welll-dressed, conventional young man in those early days."
...David left Brownsville in 1864, and resided for the later years of his life at New Boston, Ill. (Source: A. Van Doren Honeyman, "The Honeyman Family (Honeyman, Honyman, Hunneman, etc.) in Scotland and America, 1548-1908", (Plainfield, NJ: Honeymans' Publishing House, 1909)

History / Bio:

Michael Honeyman
Among the pioneers of Miami County who have passed to "the undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns" is Michael Honeyman, who became a resident of this locality in 1823. He was born in Pennsylvania, September 1, 1820, and three years later was brought to the Buckeye state by his parents, Benjamin and Mary (Knife) Honeyman, who made the trip westward by water and team. On reaching Miami County the father settled on the farm which Benjamin Honeyman now owns. Under the parental roof the subject of this review was reared and also became familiar with the arduous duties of developing and improving new land. He attended the common schools through the winter months, but in the summer seasons aided in the work of field and meadow. On the 18th of December, 1845, he was united in marriage to Miss Lucinda Hoover, whose birth occurred near Milton, Miami County, on the 1st of May, 1828. She was a daughter of John Hoover, whose birth occurred on the same farm in 1804. Her grandfather was John Hoover, Sr., a native of South Carolina, who was married in his native state and thence came to Ohio, locating on the farm which was the birthplace of his son, John, and his granddaughter, Mrs. Honeyman. He erected a log cabin of two rooms and began clearing the heavy timber from his land. As John Hoover, Jr., attained sufficient strength to cope with the hard labor, he assisted his father in the work of the farm and remained at home until his marriage. He wedded Mary Carroll, and to them were born twelve children, nine of whom reached man and womanhood. For his second wife he chose Mrs. Brombaugh, and they had a family of four children. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Honeyman were born thirteen children, namely: Sarah Jane, now deceased; Webster, who has also passed away; Benjamin F., who is living in Union township; Almeda and John, both deceased; George, who is living in Tippecanoe City; Davis, a farmer residing in Concord township; Handford, who makes his home near Gettysburg, in Darke County, Ohio; Harvey, who carries on agricultural pursuits in Staunton Township, Miami County; Emeline, wife of Ira Grisso, who operates the home farm; Elizabeth, who died in infancy; Cora B., wife of B. F. Fritz, who is living near Kessler; and Enos, who is associated with Mr. Grisso in the operation of the home farm.
It was in 1846 that Mr. Honeyman, of this review, removed to Monroe township, securing a tract of land which he cultivated and improved until 1860, when he came to the farm upon which his death occurred, July 26, 1893. He devoted his energies to the cereals best adapted to this climate and to the raising of such stock as was needed for home use. He first became owner of a tract of eighty acres, but to this he added until he had about two hundred acres in Monroe township. He was also the owner of eighty acres in Concord township, Miami county, besides fifty-three acres near Rochester, Indiana. In 1869 he built a fine brick residence upon his farm, and all the improvements seen there stand as monuments to his thrift and enterprise. He was a successful agriculturist, whose progressive, yet practical, methods enabled him to annually add to his capital until he became the possessor of a comfortable competence. At the time of his death both Mr. and Mrs. Honeyman had been members of the German Baptist church for forty-two years, and were ever faithful to their professions. His life was ever honorable and upright, his business reputation unassailable, and all who knew him entertained for him the highest regard. His life was unmarked by events of startling importance, but at all times it was characterized by fidelity to every manly principle, and he thereby won a host of warm friends who greatly mourned his loss. In his death the family lost a faithful and loving husband and father, the community a valued citizen, and Miami county an honored pioneer well worthy of representation in her history.

Michael married Lucinda Hoover on 18 Dec 1845. Lucinda (daughter of John Hoover, Jr. and Mary Carroll) was born on 1 May 1828 in Miami County, Ohio, United States; died on 12 Mar 1905 in Monroe Township, Miami County, Ohio, United States; was buried in Mar 1905 in Tipp City, Miami County, Ohio, United States.

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)

Notes:

DAVIS MARION HONEYMAN, whose finely improved farm of eighty acres is situated in Concord Township, on the western township line, about four and one-half miles west of Troy, is one of the self-made men of this section who has gradually built up his fortune from a small beginning and takes a justifiable pride in the fact. He was born in the old log house on the home farm near Troy, Ohio, January 18, 1856, and is a son of Michael and Lucinda (Hoover) Honeyman.
...Mr. Honeyman belongs to a pioneer family of Miami County, his grandfather, Benjamin Honeyman, coming here when the whole country was a forest and swamp land. He established himself near Nashville, Miami County, and to his first acquisition of land kept adding until he owned 400 acres, and gave each of his children forty acres. He lived to be eighty-two years of age and be was buried on his own farm, where many of the family rest. His children bore these names: William, Charles, Michael, Andrew, Benjamin, Serena, Anna, John and Susan. The two survivors are John and Benjamin. Serena was married to George Idemiller, who is also deceased; and Anna was the wife of Samuel Curtis, also deceased.
...Michael Honeyman, father of Davis M., was probably born in Pennsylvania, but he was quite young when the family came west, making the long journey through a wild region in wagons. He grew to manhood near Nashville and helped his father to clear up the land and often told of the valuable timber that was burned by the pioneers; much of it, if now standing, would mean a fortune to its owners. He lived at home until he was married and then bought eighty acres of the old Jenkins farm, three miles west of Tippecanoe City and went to housekeeping in the old log house that still is tenanted. He acquired other land until he owned 300 acres, this being his estate at the time of his death, which occurred in 1893, when he was aged seventy-five years.
...Michael Honeyman married Lucinda Hoover, who was born across the river from Milton. Her father was John Hoover, of German descent, who was one of the very early settlers in Miami county. The following children were born to Michael Honeyman and wife: Webster, who died young; Sarah Jane, deceased was the wife of William Frantz, also deceased; Benjamin, residing in Montgomery County, Ohio; Almeda, deceased, was the wife of David Jones, also deceased; John, deceased; George, residing at Tippecanoe City; Davis M.; Hanford, residing in Darke County, Ohio; Harvey, residing in Miami County, 0hio, Emeline, wife of Ira
...Davis M. Honeyman remained at home helping his father until his own marriage. He found but little time to attend school, but went through the winter months sometimes, but the greater part of his boyhood and youth was put in in very hard work. For three years after his marriage he lived on a farm belonging to his father, and in 1884 bought his present farm from Fred Fowler, and here he has engaged very successfully in general farming ever since. All the substantial buildings on the place were put up by Mr. Honeyman. When he started out for himself he received the gift of a horse from his father and with that went to work, exercising the prudence which has resulted in his now owning one of the very good farms and comfortable homes in the township. The handsome ten-room frame residence, setting back from the highway, he put up in 1903, having built the commodious barn in the previous year.
...Mr. Honeyman was married December 7, 1881, to Miss Anna Elizabeth Smith, a daughter of John and Mary (Idemiller) Smith. Mrs. Honeyman was born in Miami County, but her father came from Pennsylvania and her mother from Germany. Two children were born to this marriage: Minnie, who is the wife of Hubert Frantz, has one child and they live at Pleasant Hill; and Elnora, who lives at home. In politics Mr. Honeyman is a Democrat. He is an active citizen in his township and has served two terms, of three years each, on the School Board. ___(Source: Thomas C.

Notes:

John Lincoln Honeyman, Horticultural science, than which no broader or more fascinating pursuit is open to the student landsman, has an intelligent and resourceful exponent in John Lincoln Honeyman, whose activities long since have passed the experimental stage and developed into one of the most successful enterprises of the kind in Miami county. He comes by his predilection by inheritance and the name of Honeyman has been identified with this vocation for many years in Monroe township. Mr. Honeyman was born on the property on which he now resides, in 1864, a son of John and Sarah (Syler) Honeyman. His father, an early resident of this locality, and a man esteemed and respected for his many excellencies of mind and heart, bought a farm of 118 acres in Monroe township and many years ago started a grape arbor which is today regarded as one of the finest to be found in the locality. He passed his entire life in agricultural and horticultural operations and made a success of his ventures. Of the ten children in the family, seven are still living. John L. Honeyman, acquired a public school education and early became interested in horticultural experiments. In August, 19I4, he obtained the home place and thirty-six acres of land, and has carefully tended the arbors in a scientific manner, while his vegetable garden and fruitbearing trees have also received the best of attention and bear a maximum yield. Mr. Honeyman has made a close and careful study of his chosen vocation and has accomplished results which have gained him a reputation for originality, insight and resource. Few homes in the country have more artistic or tasteful surroundings, as the owner has a keen eye for natural effects and thoroughly understands the scenic value of plants; shrubs, trees and vines. Mr. Honeyman was a substantial contributor to various war measures and has always supported good civic measures. He is unmarried and keeps bachelor hall.

Notes:

...Dorsey Honeyman is numbered among the native sons of Miami Co, his birth having occurred June 24, 1866, on the old homestead farm now occupied by William Michaels. His father, Andrew Honeyman, was born in Union township, Miami Co, September 16, 1830, and, having arrived at years of maturity, he wedded Mary Pearson, a daughter of Moses Pearson. In their family were four children: Mary E., who died in infancy: Esther, wife of Albert McManus; Dorsey; and Minerva, who also died in infancy. The father of our subject remained on the farm with his family until his marriage, which occurred in 1857. Soon afterward he removed to Monroe township, on section 29, his father giving him forty acres of land there. The place was improved with a house of one room, and a log stable. There Mr. Honeyman remained until about 1870 when he removed to the farm now occupied by his son Dorsey, having there one hundred and fifty-six acres of land on sections 19 and 20, Monroe township. To the development and improvement of that farm he devoted his energies until his death, which occurred in January 1892. The buildings upon the place were erected by him and he made excellent improvements, becoming the owner of one of the attractive and valuable farms of the neighborhood. As his financial resources increased he also extended the boundaries of his farm by additional purchases and became the owner of three hundred and thirteen acres. In politics he was a Democrat, but gave no active attention to campaign work, preferring to devote his time and energies to his business. He died January 2,1892, and was laid to rest in the old family burying ground. His wife passed away some years previous, being called to her final rest in September, 1870, when only thirty years of age.
...Dorsey Honeyman was born and reared on the old family homestead and assisted in the cultivation of the farm until his father's death, when he assumed its management and has since made it his home. He now owns one hundred and fifty-six acres of rich land in this tract and also has other property, including eighty-eight acres in one tract and twenty acres in another tract, making in all about two hundred and sixty-four acres. His methods of farming are practical and progressive and he thoroughly understands the business in every detail, his well tilled fields indicating his careful supervision while the improvements upon the farm stand as monuments of his thrift and enterprise.
...In March, 1887, occurred the marriage of Mr. Honeyman and Miss Annie Stockslager, and to them have been born four children, three of whom are living: Guy, Ethel and Dessie. Bertha, the eldest daughter, is now deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Honeyman are widely and favorably known in this locality, having a large circle of friends who esteem them highly for their sterling worth. He is a representative of one of the old families of Miami Co and is a public-spirited citizen who well deserves mention in this volume.

John married Anna Stockslager on 31 Mar 1887 in Miami County, Ohio, United States.

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.
