About Frederick Ambrose

From "History of Champaign County, Ohio", by Judge Evan P. Middleton, Vol. II, pub. 1917, B.F. Bowen & Company, Inc., Indianapolis, Indiana

pg. 151 - Newton Ambrose was a son of Frederick Ambrose, who was born in Frederick County, Virginia [s/b Maryland], and who came to Ohio in 1799, settling on the Mad river, in that part of the state later comprised within bounds of Champaign County. When Urbana later was laid out he moved to town and there started a pottery. He also was somewhat engaged in the merchantile business, was quite active in local politics and served as one of the early sheriffs of the county. Frederick Ambrose was married twice, his first wife having been Jennie Tanner, of Irish descent, and his second wife, Mary Poff, of Kentucky. By his first marriage he was the father of nine children and by the second marriage, six children.

Jim, I saw your decendent line on the Ambrose web page. I am researching Frederick. I do not know anything of your Cornelius but I thought I would help you with some dates on Frederick. Fredericks first wife was Jennie Tanner they were married May 27, 1806 she died in 1824 shortly after Margarets birth. He then married Mary Poff in 1825. His daughter Margaret was born 3-5-1824 and died 12-25-1901. She first married Samual Bailey on March 17,1842. She than married Joseph Stone (my gggrandfather) 5-11-1827. They had 2 children Mary Alice, born 5-29-1863 and died 2-4-1899. They had a son, Thomas, born 9-27-1865 and died 10-24-1948. If you need any more names or dates to add to this please let me know, maybe I can help. Also, where did you find the information to make the connection on Margaret to Frederick and Frederick to William Henry. Please let me know.

Thanks, Carol Tillman
