In the Township of Smith, pages 311 & 312 is a biographical sketch of James M. Dobson.
James M. Dobson was born in Allegheny Co., Pa., on the Chartier Creek, about ten miles from Pittsburgh, March 27, 1807. Mrs. Dobson was born in the same State, Nov. 19, 1807. Mr. Dobson emigrated from there to Ohio in the early part of his life, and settled in Columbiana County, and commenced life for himself by purchasing a farm. This farm had but little improvement on it, but Mr. Dobson went to work, as all early settlers did who found a home here, to improve his place, clearing, burning brush, log-rolling, and building. He married Margaret, daughter of John and Martha Bevington. Eleven children were born of this union, six boys and five girls, viz.: John, Elizabeth, Thomas, Martha, Jane, Henry B., Margaret, Cynthia, James K., Robert (deceased), and Joseph (deceased). They are living in Ohio, with the exception of Martha, who resides in Michigan. James M. Dobson came from Columbiana County to Smith township, Mahoning Co., about 1833, where he bought a farm of seventy acres. By hard labor and strict economy he added from time to time to this farm, until he owned one hundred and forty acres. He managed his farm during his entire life-time. At his death he left this land to be divided among his children, giving to John two shares, and leasing him the farm for five years at one hundred dollars per year. John lived at home with his father twenty-five years after his majority, working and receiving no equivalent above his support. Mr. and Mrs. Dobson were Presbyterians, and of Scotch and Irish descent. Mr. Dobson education was limited; he attended school just long enough to be able to read and write. He was a truly kind and indulgent man in his family, and in his intercourse with all true and friendly. As he had lived peaceably and quietly, so peaceably and quietly he passed away, departing this life Jan. 6, 1879, leaving a reputation for honesty and upright dealings.
Mrs. James Dobson died Dec. 22, 1875. The portraits of Mr. and Mrs. James Dobson are inserted in this work by their son, John, as a tribute of respect to their memory.
