Old father Jabez Hitchcock of Medina, Ohio, for 20 years a resident of Canfield, is now spending a few weeks here visiting relatives and friends. He is now 84 years old, and apparently as hale and hardy as 40 years ago. He originally came from Litchfield County, Connecticutt during the early settlement of Canfield. (Taken from the handwritten books of the Henry R. Baldwin Genealogical Records, v. 27, page 43)
The 1870 Palmyra Township, Portage County, Ohio census records have Jabez living with a family named Gilbert. He is a farmer, is 88 years old and was born in Connecticutt.

Margaret was born in Vermont and all of the other Gilberts were born in Ohio. Real estate is worth $5,000 and personal property, $600.
Living two families down the road are Hela H. Gilbert, 72, and his wife Tirza, 60. He was born in Connecticutt and she in Ohio. Real estate is worth $7720 and personal property $1500.
Cemetery Records for Palmyra Township, Palmyra West Cemetery, Portage County, Ohio state that Jabez died 22 June 1875. He was 93 years old and a Veteren of the War of 1812.
The INDEX to the GRAVE RECORDS of SERVICEMEN of the WAR OF 1812 State of Ohio, complied by the Ohio Society United States Daughters of 1812, Edited by Phyllis Brown Miller, compiled 1988, page 100, states, "HITCHCOCK, Jabez; b. 1782; d. 1875; bur. Palmyra, Port. Co., OH; Co. Hist.; emblem on grave; (1943)."
In an email regatding Jabez Hitchcock/Lovinia on Sun, 06 Jan 2002 at 18:29:51, Jennifer Hutchinson wrote: "Ruth Anna and Caroline (Hitchock) married brothers. Ruth Anna married Ezra J Hunt on 28 Jan 1836 in Trumbull County, Ohio. Caroline A. married Seymour M Hunt on 30 August 1832 in Trumbull County, Ohio.
Caroline's death notice reads: "Hunt, Caroline, w. of Seymour M., dau. of Jabez and Lovina Hitchcock, of Medina, d. March 23, 1852 in Hartsgrove, ae 46th yr."
I don't yet have definite proof that Ruth is the daughter of Jabez and Lovinia yet, but she did name one son Jabez and a daughter Caroline.
I also am running into the name Judson Vantile Hitchcock in the same area at the same time that may be a brother to Caroline and Ruth. Ruth also named a son Judson.
Lots of coincidences, but no proof yet.
I am a descendant of Ruth and Ezra. I am sending a copy of the family group sheet for them I have been able to compile. The information came from a typescript of their family Bible information. Their daughte, Susan Maria Hunt is my great great grandmother. "

A story I have written by my grandmother in 1976
THE SOURCE OF THE LINEN TOW THREAD: THIS THREAD IS 120 YEARS OLD
Crocheted into doilies by Clara Morrison Rhodes — from 1940 1974
Jabez Hitchcock Sr., and his wife came from Holland. His son, Vantile
Hitchcock, was my mother's grandfather. He had four daughters; Dorcas,
Hattie, Julia, and Macklin. His daughter Dorcas married Isaac Justice, a
Judge in Youngstown, Ohio. To this union was born Flora Justice Mancil and
my mother, Lilla Helen Justice Morrison.
When Jabez Hitchcock Sr. and his wife came from Holland they settled in
Pennsylvania. The raised flax, made their own thread, wove it into cloth,
from which they made their clothing — you could not buy manufactured clothing
in those days.
First they made the 'tow', then spun it into thread on the spinning wheel or
spindle; this was a two year process. In 1955 the process was shortened to
ten days. Then they wove it into cloth. The two I have, and the thread and
piece of cloth, was made by these people, my Great-Great Grandfather and
Grandmother. It was given by Grandpa Isaac Justice to sister Alizia,
mother's aunt, then to mother when she went back to Youngstown, Ohio, at the
time her father died in 1903. My mother had it thirty six years, then it was
given to me in 1939 when mother passed away.
Jabez Jr., brother of Vantile Hitchcock, was the father of George, Herman,
Wilber, Rebecca, Jane and Clara. Clara married Homer Warner, and became the
grandmother of my Aunt Clara, Aunt Nettie, Uncle Frank and Uncle Charley.
Grandpa Justice's second wife was their mother, and they were my mother's
half-sisters and brothers. She was the woman he married after the death of my
mother's mother,Dorcas, who died by falling down the cellar stairs, while
pregnant. Mother was seven years old at that time. John Justice, a cousin
of Jabez Jr.s children, married Nancy Sexton (Grandpa Justice's second wife
was a second cousin to his first wife) Nancy Sexton, daughter of Stephen
Sexton of Poland,Ohio. To this marriage was born Aunt Alizia and Isaac
Justice, who became my mother's father and my grandfather. Aunt Alizia
married John Thompson, she was the on who gave mother the linen thread, woven
cloth, and skein of 'Tow'.
Written by Clara Morrison Rhodes, daughter of Lilla Helen Justice and George
Morrison. Mother was the daughter of Isaac Justice, and Judge and Dorcas
Hitchcock Justice. Told to me by Aunt Clara Trusdail, half-sister of mother,
just before World War II when my husband, Miles Rhodes and I were in
Youngstown, Ohio on a visit.
Jabez married Lovinia Bunnell, daughter of Reuben Bunnell (24 Dec 1765-2 Feb 1853) & Sarah Sackett (ca 1767-6 Sep 1851). Born on 22 Nov 1788 at Connecticut. Lovinia died on 1 May 1850. Buried in St. Peters Episcopal Cemetery, Oxford.
Lovinia, also known as Lovina, Bennell, also spelled Bunnell.
Their children include:
5. William? Monroe.
William? married Elizabeth? [Monroe].
Their children include:
