| Family History of John and Eleanor (FOSTER) DeARMOND Sources: Berrien County MI History |
1794 Feb 22 - Eleanor FOSTER was born to ??? FOSTER
1798 - John DeArmond was born to Alexander and Elizabeth (HUFF) DeARMOND in PA
In or about 1806, John's parents, Alexander and Elizabeth, with their family and Alexander's brother Uncle and Aunt King and Hannah, with their 2 children, came by flatboat down the Ohio River to settle on land in what is now Dearborn County, Indiana (history). What is now Dearborn County IN was, in the early 1800s, still part of Hamilton County, Ohio. (source). [People still canoe up the Whitewater River (map)] So from the Ohio River, the DeArmonds entered the mouth of the Great Miami River, and then pushed the flatboat up the Whitewater River map about two miles above Harrison, Ohio where they landed.
1817 - 19 year old John DeARMOND married 23 year old Eleanor FOSTER in Butler County OH on August 21 per 1817 Butler CO OH marriage records, by King DeARMOND JP.
[NOTE: Those same 1817 marriage records list King DeARMOND JP marrying John A. GEORGE and Sarah FOSTER on 3 July 1817 in Butler County, OH. This may be the John *E.* GEORGE who lived near other GEORGE families in Andrew Co MO 1843 when he married Mary KING DAVISON. So far (2016) the parents of John E. are unknown.]
| [Geni.com shows that John DeARMOND (b 1798) died on 15 Oct 1817, but this was a typographical error. His tombstone noted at Mt Zion Cemetery (usgennet.org) stated he died on 15 Oct 1877.] |
1818 - FindAGrave.com shows Alexander Hardin DeARMOND born 1818 to John and Eleanor FOSTER DeARMOND, died 1895 (76-77), and buried in the George Family Cemetery in Okeana, Butler Co, OH, along side his wife, Isabell (JENKINS) DeARMOND. Another source, familysearch.org, shows Alexander buried in Berrien County MI instead of staying in Butler County, OH.
Per The History of Berrien County, Alexander was a physician in Dayton, MI.
[Which is right?]

FindAGrave.com also lists 1) Alexander Hardin DeARMOND His siblings listed as:
2) Martha Ann DeARMOND ROSS 1820-1892
3) Mary Jane "Sarah" DeARMOND 1826-1853 (27)
4) Elizabeth DeARMOND HAMES BUCKLES 1829-1911
5) John DeARMOND 1831-1881 (m. 1856)
6) William D. DeARMOND 1836-1864 |
1822-1845 According to "A History and Biographical Cyclopedia of Butler County, Ohio" there were both DeArmond and Ross pioneer families in Butler County OH in the early 1800s.
1830 US Census, John Dearmond, Morgan twp, Butler Co., OH, page 166 living next to or near Edward Foster, Thomas Dearmond, (John), James Grant, and Thomas Dearmond. There were 9 people including John in the household. The oldest was a female, 60-70 years old, born 1760-70. [The mother of Eleanor, perhaps???] There were one male and one female, 30-40 years old, born 1790-1800. [This could be John (b 1798) and Eleanor (b 1794).] Next was one male, 20-30 years old, born 1800-1810. [He might be a farm hand, but definitely too near John and Eleanor's age to be a son.] Next were a boy and a girl, each 10-15 (through July?) years old born 1815-20. Next was a girl, 5-10 years old, born 1820-25. And finally two girls, aged birth to 5 years, born 1825-30.
1832 - Alexander DeARMOND married Elizabeth in Butler Co OH
1833 Apr 24 - John's father, Alexander DeARMOND, Sr died in Butler Co OH, per findagrave
1834 - John and Eleanor DeARMOND moved their family from Butler County, OH to the west side of Terre Coupee Prairie, in the township of Bertrand, Berrien Co, MI in the fall. Berrien Co MI township sectional maps show that Berrien County is just east of Lake Michigan, 87 miles east of Chicago, Illinois, as well as being near the northwestern Indiana border. More History of Berrien County Michigan (1880) [There were DeARMONDs in Berrien, Huron, St. Joseph, and Washtenaw Counties in MI, per HistoryGeo.com]
1850 - The census of 1850 lists John DeARMOND (DEARMAN) (b 1806 OH) rather than John (b 1798) as head of the family. John born in 1806 would not be the son of John born in 1798, making the older only 8 years old when the younger was born. For now, I will think that the census taker made an error. After John comes Ellen (FOSTER) DeARMOND, born in (sic) 1795. Ellen would seem to be a nickname for Eleanor. Children at home were Sarah aka Mary Jane (b 1826 OH), Elizabeth (b 1830 OH), John (b 1831 OH), and William (b 1836 MI), per the 1850 census.

DeARMOND (aka Dearman) was the third wife of her father's one time business partner, John "J. D." ROSS. J.D. was born in 1802 near Cincinnati, OH - perhaps in Butler County, OH where the DeARMONDs had come from. In 1824 he married his first wife, Eliza LABERTAN apparently in IN (or OH?). He moved to Indiana. Eliza died in 1833, leaving 6 children. (Of these six, in 1893 only Thomas L. ROSS survived.) J.D. married soon circa 1834, likely in Indiana, to Jane CONNER.
Also in 1834, J.D. and family moved to Niles, Michigan. Between the four years of 1834 to 1838 when J.D.'s second wife Jane CONNER ROSS died, she bore 3 children. (By 1893, only Martha E. ROSS FULTON (Mrs. Thomas FULTON) survived of these children.) Jane ROSS (1812-1838) was buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery, as was J. D. per findagrave.com. Soon, in 1839, J.D. married his third wife, Martha A. DeARMOND. (Martha ROSS bore J.D. 3 more children. By 1893, only A.F. ROSS born in Hamilton, La Porte County, Indiana on 7 Aug 1841 survived. This location does not agree with an 1834 move to Niles, MI, but could indicate another move.) From Niles, J.D. moved to Valparalso, IN, and in 1847 to Buchanan, Berrien County, MI. Until 1872, he owned a bank in Buchanan. J.D. already had 9 children from his two previous marriages. Martha and J.D. had three children. Of these only A. F.

CHAPTER XXX.
BERTRAND TOWNSHIP.
By Austin N. Hungerford
"John De Armond emigrated from Butler Co., Ohio, to the west side of Terre Coupee Prairie, in the township of Bertrand, in the fall of 1834, and located land on the southeast quarter of section 18. He kept a stock of goods, and had quite an extensive trade with the Indians until they went West. He was for a time in partnership with J. D. Ross, in Hamilton, Ind. In 1858 he moved to Dayton. He afterwards married Ruth, the widow of Elisha Egbert, and lived on the southwest quarter of section 4, where he died.
Alexander, a son, is a physician living in Dayton.
Another son, John, lives in Buchanan.
Charles Smith and J.D. Ross, of the village of Buchanan, each married a daughter of Mr. De Armond.
Harvey Buckles, who lives about three miles south of Bertrand, married another daughter."

"A. F. ROSS, a retired bank cashier and prominent business man of Buchanan, was born in Hamilton, La Porte County, Ind., on the 7th of August, 1841. He is the son of the Hon. John D. ROSS, who was born near Cincinnati, Ohio, June 2, 1802, and was there reared to manhood, going thence to Indiana, and coming from there to Michigan in 1834. His trade was that of a blacksmith, which he followed for a time at Niles. To him belongs the distinction of having built the first flouring-mill ever erected in Niles, and he was one of the prominent pioneers of that place.
From Niles, Mr. ROSS, Sr., proceeded to Valparalso, Ind., and thence came to Buchanan in 1847. Here he opened a general stor, and also operated a mill and distillory, all of which enterprises he conducted with the greatest success. Later, he embarked in the banking business, and conducted a financial institution at Buchanan until about 1872, when he retired from all active participation in business. At the time he located in the village of Buchanan, it contained five dwelling-houses and two stone buildings, and it may be truly said of Mr. ROSS that he did more for the improvement of the place than any other man there residing. His great capabilities were recognized and appreciated by his fellow-citizens, who elected him to represent them in the Legislature of the State. He served many times as President of the village, and was considered one of the leaders of the Democratic party in this section.
The first marriage of Mr. ROSS united him with Miss Eliza LABERTAN, who became his wife in 1824, and died in 1833, having become the mother of six children. One child is the only survivor of that number, Thomas L., who resides in Topeka, Kan. After the death of Mrs. Eliza ROSS, Mr. ROSS was united with Miss Jane CONNER, who died in 1838, leaving three children, only one now surviving: Martha E., the wife of Thomas M. FULTON, of Chicago. The third marriage of Mr. ROSS took place in 1839, and united him with Miss Martha A. DeARMOND. Three children were born of this union, of whom our subject [A. F. ROSS] is the only survivor. [published in 1893]
At the age of seven years our subject accompanied his father to Michigan and carried on his primary studies in the schools of Buchanan. At the age of sixteen he entered the University of Notre Dame, Ind., where he remained for two years, diligently prosecuting his studies. Returing home, he embarked in business with his father, and upon the organization of the firm of Ross & Fenton, bankers, he became their Cashier. The institution was originally know as the Bank of Buchanan, and afterward became the Bank of Ross & Son, our subject's connection with it covering a period of twenty-five years. Mr. ROSS was also engaged for one year in the dry-goods busiess in partnership with John GRAHAM.
October 26, 1864, occured the marriage of Mr. ROSS to Miss Mary A. SHERMAN, a resident of Paw Paw, Mich. The union was blessed by the birth of one son, John D., now residing in Chicago and for many years Cashier for Lord & Thomas, of that city. The second marriage of Mr. ROSS occured on the 10th of January, 1877 and united him with Miss Clara M. LOOMIS who was born in Chicago, Ill., April 25, 1853. Her father, A. D. LOOMIS, a native of Saratoa Springs, N. Y., settled in Chicago about 1836, and engaged in the lumber business there for many years, but now makes his home in Gainesville, Fla. The mother of Mrs. ROSS wa known in maidenhood as Miss Marietta CARR, and was born in Kentucky. (page 907-8)....
