      This may refer to a different Jabez Hitchcock. He is 65 years old, born in New York, has $50 in personal wealth, and does not own land. He apparently lives in a building with Alpheus Lucus who is 42 and was also born in New York. Both are laborers.

An article from the Canfield Weekly Herald, 27 July 1865 mentions Jabez.

      AN OLD SETTLER

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)

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. “
