Biographical Sketch from 1883 Beers History of Brown County, Ohio pg. 257: HENRY WARDLOW, farmer, P. O. New Hope, son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Nesbit) Wardlow, was born in the present limits of Brown County May 12, 1812; his parents were both natives of Virginia; his father came to Ohio in 1798, with his grandfather, and settled near the Forks of White Oak Creek, with no white settler within ten miles of them. His father served a campaign in the war of 1812, and his uncle Willima Wardlow was wounded at St. Clairs's defeat, so he was unable to make his retreat, and the last seen of him he was sitting against a tree and said, "I will try and save another red skin before I die." The pioneer life of the Wardlows would be voluminous and interesting, but much of it is lost. The subject of this sketch was married to Mary L., daughter of Benjamin Purdum, and raised a family of seven children--William (married Maxie, daughter of John Wright), Benjamin F. (married Sarah, daughter of William Campbell). Elizabeth (wife of O. F. Dunn, deceased), Mary M. (wife of Peter McKee), Thomas (married Margaret, daughter of Frances M. Patton), James (married Maranda J., daughter of John Davison), Nancy (wife of J. J. Hiler). Mr. Wardlow settled just above the village of New Hope, where he owns 166 1/2 acres of well-cultivated land. He also owns and runs a portable saw-mill.
