Larkins Family History continued by James Washington Larkins was born January 31, 1826 in Carroll County, Ohio and died in 1898 on the farm on Ridge Road near Oakley, Michigan. He was the third child of Thomas C. and Sarah B. Larkins. He had a fair education, a great scholar in arithmetic, often ahead of his teachers. He left home at an early age to learn a trade and become a carpenter. Many of the houses and barns around Ottawa, Ohio were built by him. His father died and he took care of his mother and the younger children. On March 22, 1855 he married Catherine Robinault/Robinalt born 29 April 1834 and died 18 March 1918, of Seneca County, Ohio. This is where they lived when the war of the great rebellion (Civil War) broke out. They lived in Ottawa, Ohio. He became one of the finest workmen in the country and was a great man. James W. and Catherine Larkins had nine children, two boys and seven girls and all lived to manhood and womanhood. Part of these children were born in Ohio and the rest were born in Michigan. Coming to Michigan they settled on a farm on the Ridge Road about seven miles west of Oakley in Saginaw County. Here they owned a big farm with land on both sides of the road. The family lived in a big two-story home. There were big barns and lots of other buildings and a beautiful fruit orchard on the land across the road. A cemetery was started on one edge of this land to the east of the barns and it is in this cemetery that James C. and Catherine Larkins are both buried as well as their children, many grandchildren, great grandchildren, even to great-great grandchildren. The cemetery is now a county cemetery. Larkins Family Photo Their children were: 1.
William Calvin Larkins, born 1 April 1856, in Ottawa, Seneca
County,
Ohio. He
married 1st Emma Laura Ohler 17 Dec 1879 in Putnam County, Ohio. They
had
a son James Larkins and a daughter, name unknown. He had one son
that
died young, perhaps James. There may have been other children.
William
lived near Oakley at one time but later moved away. He died
in
1931. This from Elaine Rumler of Viola, Illinois,
1995: William Calvin Larkins owned a farm
in Ashley, Michigan.
Later
he bought a farm sight unseen and moved his family to Farwell,
Michigan, so the majority of his descendants live up there. My
mom's dad, Ray
Calvin Larkins, died in a train accident in 1928 when she was two years
old. Her mother (from Iowa) brought them all back to Iowa and
that's where we
all are. William Calvin's 2nd wife was Martha Maria DeForest (Married 9 July 1891). Martha was born 14 March 1863 in Port Huron, Michigan and died 9 Oct 1943 in Farwell, Michigan. They had children: 1. Ray Calvin Larkins born 22 April 1892 in Saginaw County, Michigan and died 11 April 1928 in Muskegon, MI. Ray married Beatrice Margret Gibson born 7 Feb 1900 in Davenport, Scott County, Iowa on 6 Aug 1918. Beatrice died 29 March 1956, Davenport, Iowa. 2.

Viva Beatrice Larkins born 27 Jan 1989 in Ashley, Michigan died 8 March 1981 in Elsie, Michigan, married Marion Hayward 6 Nov 1917 in Clare, Michigan. 4. Loretta Ester (Retty) Larkins born 16 Sept 1899 and died 11 Aug 1975 in Farwell, Michigan, married Randle Dee Shaw 5. Mary Catherine Elizabeth Larkins born 5 Sept 1902 in Gratiot County, Michigan died 27 March 1945 in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. 6. Ida Jane Larkins born 30 Aug 1906 in Farwell, Michigan, married 1st. Robert Howell about 1926. She married 2nd 12 July 1941, John Bauer born 7 Jan 1891 died 20 Sept 1979 in Farwell, Michigan. Note:
Per Aunt Ida Larkins Bauer, youngest daughter of
William C. Larkins: William C. and Martha Maria Larkins had a big
beautiful farm in Ashley, Michigan. William sold it and bought a
farm in Farwell, Michigan evidently sight unseen because he believed it
had a house on it. When they got there, there was no house on the
farm and Martha sat down
and cried. They had to move into a farm house off the farm where
Ida
was born. They later built a house with lumber from an old saw
mill. All of William and Martha's other children were born in
Ashley, Michigan. William came to Farwell in Clare County,
Michigan in 1906. He was good in math like his father. He
had asthma and coughed from the hay when he milked the cows.
William's marriage to Maria is recorded in Saginaw County Court House
in
Saginaw, Michigan (book I, Page 181, record #2698. Licence date
July 8, 1891. He was age 35, residing in Oakley, Michigan, born
in Ohio. Maria was 28, residing in Oakley and born in Saginaw
County,
Michigan. William was a teamster by trade and she listed no
occupation.
He spelled his mother Catherine's name Robinault. Witness to
marriage
was Isaac and Ella Larkins. The following information furnished
by
Ida Larkins Bauer to Lynnwood Shaw: William was born April Fool's Day
in
1856 near Sidney, Ohio. The Larkins were small farmers, supplying
their
livelyhood from their farm. In 1891 Maria and William were
married
and
settled in Ashley, MI. William began working for Elmer Fuller in
Ithaca,
dredging and laying tile. The farm and the surrounding area that
they
resided was on very low ground and drain fields were uncommon at this
time.
Thus, during the spring rains, water would seep into the house, forcing
the
family to seek refuge upstairs. This eventually led William to
trade
the farm in Ashley for one in Grant Township, Clare County, sight
unseen.
Unfortunately, upon arriving to their new home, they found the farm but
no
house. William continued to work for Elmer Fuller, coming to see
his
family when transportation afforded. Their youngest daughter Ida,
was
delivered by Dr. Lamb in Grant Township. William found work close
to
home with the county, surfacing the road with his team of horses.
Meanwhile,
Martha Maria stayed on the farm, selling eggs and cream to the local
merchants. Contact Elaine Rumler

Hi, I saw your website about the Larkins family. Do you have any additional information regarding James Larkins, son of James Larkins the REV. soldier, who married Rebecca Sharp? It looks like Rebecca died before 1849 as I found James marrying again that year in Jefferson County, OH. I have located James in Jefferson county in 1850, and he is in Jackson County, WV in 1860 with wife Lydia and a large number of children. In 1870, it appears that James is across the river in Meigs County living with John and Martha Matthews. From her age, I believe Martha is his daughter. Problem is he just disappears after that census and I haven't been able to find his wife Lydia and the remainder of his children after 1860. I'd appreciate any other information that you might have on James Larkins. Thanks, Merry Anne Pierson tfsengnr at worldnet.att.net
