GEORGE W. BARCLAY, farmer, P.O. Edinburgh, was born in Trumbull County,
Ohio, May 28, 1810; son of Francis and Elizabeth Barclay, natives,
respectively, of Pennsylvania and Virginia, and who were married in
Pennsylvania, removing to Ohio in about 1800, where they settled in Trumbull
county and remained until their death.  George W. Barclay was first married
in Trumbull County, Ohio, April 11, 1831, to Hannah Dawson, a native of that
county, where she was born in 1811, daughter of William and Margaret Dawson,
and our subject and wife then came to this county in 1832.  Five children
were born to this union:  Elizabeth J., wife of Markus Allen, William
Francis, John R., and George D.  After her death, which occurred June 14,

living, born in Augusta, Oneida Co., N.Y., August 27, 1820; daughter of
Tilley and Maria Greenleaf, and by her he had one child, Harriet E., wife of
Thomas Owen.  Our subject has a farm of 113 acres in this county.  He has
