1887 History of Noble County, Ohio
Pages 442-443 (excerpt relative to Nathan)
James Archer, of Irish descent, came from Greene County, Pa., where he was born in 1779, and settled in Stock Township, on the East Fork of Duck Creek, in 1809. With him he brought his family of six sons and five daughters. They came on horseback, cutting their own road a portion of the way. Soon after their arrival, a heavy freshet raised the waters of the creek to such an extent that their cabin was in imminent danger of being washed away. The family took refuge in the loft of their cabin and kept warm by keeping coals in a kettle. James Archer and several of his sons were successful hunters. The sons of James Archer were James, Joseph, Michael, Simon, Jacob and Nathan. Nathan married Rebecca Morris. They had thirteen children. From these families are descended the Archers, who are numerous in Ohio and throughout the West. The males of the Archer family all settled in the same neighborhood and remained here until they died. Their descendants in many instances still occupy the land which they entered. The Archers, as well as many others of the early settlers, managed to secure farms for all of their children.
