There is a rough stone on Lot 112 of this cemetery that some believe marks the final resting place of Jacob Ozmun, who came to Boston Township about 1811, and by 1816, his widow appears on the property tax rolls. Death date is estimated.
Jacob Ozmun married Catherine Cunningham, June 29, 1788, Orange County, New York by Rev. Silas Constant at the home of Deacon Cunningham, who was probably Catherine's father or possibly an uncle. The transcribed records state they were of Smith's Clove. There was an Archibald Cunningham, who was a deacon in the Presbyterian Church of Smith's Clove.
Another early settler of Boston Township in Summit County, Ohio was Moses Cunningham, who may have been a relative of Catherine (Cunningham) Ozmun, but proof is lacking.
This Moses Cunningham may refer to the Moses Cunningham, who died in the Town of New Cornwall, Orange County, New York on November 27, 1872.
A Moses Cunningham served in the Orange County Militia with (Captain) Abraham Miller of Boston Township. Moses was from the Town of New Cornwall, Orange County, New York. This was during the Revolutionary War and likely refers to another Moses Cunningham, possibly an uncle.
There was also a (Lt.) John Cunningham, who served in (Captain) Timothy Bishop's Company during the War of 1812, alongside Abraham Ozmun, Isaac Ozmun, and Israel Ozmun, that may somehow be related to Catherine (Cunningham) Ozmun. The marriage license of James W. Ozmun [spelled Osman] and Margaret Martin was signed by John Cunningham.
There are 2 entries for a (Sgt.) Jacob Ozmun [spelled Osmun], deceased, who served in the 27th U.S. Infantry during the War of 1812. The entries can be found on pages 51 & 63 in a book entitled, "An Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of the United States for the year 1822." The family of (Sgt.) Jacob Ozmun, deceased, received $76.25 on Aug. 30, 1822, which was his military pay to Oct. 31st, 1813. His family received an additional $248.39 on November 30, 1822. This suggests that (Sgt.) Jacob Ozmun died about October 1813.
Upon further investigation the 27th Infantry Regiment was raised by Lt. Col. Alex Denniston in Orange County, New York, which Jacob Osmun enlisted in. It appears this (Sgt.) Jacob Osmun is not the same person as the Jacob Ozmun of Boston Township, Summit County, Ohio. Note: Lt. Col. Alex Denniston's great aunt was the mother of (General) James Clinton and also (General) George Clinton, the generals in charge of Forts Clinton and Montgomery on the day of the battle on October 06, 1777.
The Notes on Ohio's Regular Army Infantry Regiments, 1812-1815, written by James T. Brenner, state that Ohio contributed soldiers primarily to four infantry regiments during the War of 1812: the 17th, 19th, 26th, and 27th United States Infantry Regiments. It seems like more than just a coincidence that there would be an army recruit in the 27th United States Infantry Regiment named (Sgt.) Jacob Osmun & also a resident in Boston Township, Summit County, Ohio named Jacob Ozmun, whose name appears on the property tax rolls of 1812 & by 1816, his widow's name appears. Whatever happened to Jacob Ozmun of Boston Township? Since Ohio did contribute soldiers to the 27th Infantry, perhaps (Sgt.) Jacob Osmun and Jacob Ozmun of Boston Township, are in fact one, and the same individual.
Was (Sgt.) Jacob Osmun [Ozmun] killed at the Battle of Thames in Upper Canada on or about October 05, 1813? According to the Wikipedia entry on the Battle of Thames and from an article published in the "Military History" magazine on August 21, 2006, (General) William Henry Harrison had about 120 regulars of the newly raised 27th Infantry Regiment with him at the Battle of Thames on October 05, 1813. General Harrison reported seven killed outright in the Battle and five died of their wounds.
