The former was born in Ross Co., Ohio, June 15, 1806, and was a son of Daniel and Catharine Recob, natives of Pennsylvania, who became early settlers of Ross Co., Ohio, and thence removed to Clinton Co., where Mrs. Recob died, after which he removed to Madison Co., where he died. Valentine, the father of our subject, was raised to manhood in Ross Co., and on April 1, 1829, married Lydia Toops, who was born in Ross Co., November 3, 1808, and was a daughter of Henry and Sarah Toops, natives of Pennsylvania, by which union they had eight children, four now surviving---William H., Valentine, Margaret (wife of Joseph Gardner), and Ellen (wife of Hamilton Badgley). Mr. Recob settled in Ross Co.; in 1840, he removed to Madison Co. and located on the Dun farm in Range Township. In 1846 he purchased the Melvin farm in Fairfield Township, where he lived till his death, December 15, 1877. He was a very industrious, hard-working man, of undoubted honor and integrity. He started out in life a poor man, and by his own industry and good management became possessed of a comfortable competency, including 480 acres of land with good improvements.
- During the last twelve years of his life, he was an ernest worker in the Methodist Church, and died esteemed and respected by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. His wife still survives and resides on the home farm with her son-in-law, Hamilton Badgley, who was born in Greene Co., Ohio, April 11, 1848, and was a son of Moses and Elizabeth Badgley, he a native of Preble Co., Ohio, and she of Maryland. Moses was a son of Benjamin Badgley, a soldier in the war of 1812, under Gen. Hill, and one among the number surrendered to the British; he died in Preble Co.. Moses, who followed boating on the river for several years, finally married and settled in Greene Co., and resided near Cedarville about nineteen years. His wife died in June 1864.
- About 1867, he removed to near South Charleston, and there and near London, spent the balance of his life; he died in August, 1879. He was the father of nine children, six now surviving---Henrietta, wife of Harvey Q. Downey, Hamilton, Harvey, Granville, Simeon and Alfren (twins). Mr. Hamilton Badgley was married to Ellen Recob October 19, 1876; they have one child---Warner, born March 8, 1878. They are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
- Mr. Recob, the subject of this sketch, was married, December 25, 1866, to Miss Alice McClellan, who was born in Ross Co. July 25, 1847, and was a daughter of William and Rachel McClellan, he a native of Pennsylvania, and she of Ohio. He came to Ohio in 1843, married here, and had one child---Alice. Mr. McClellan was twice married; by his first marriage he had one child, who, with its mother, died in Pennsylvania. Mrs. McClellan, the second wife, was also twice married; by her first husband, Samuel Cooper, she had two children---Emma (wife of John Horn), and Mary Ann (wife of James Pierce). Mr. McClellan died in October 1867. Mr. Recob and wife have two children---Ella May, born September 26, 1868; NOra Etta, born July 9, 1876. Mr. Recob first located where his mother and Mr. Badgley now live, and in March, 1879, they removed to their present location. He has 166 acres of land, with good buildings and improvements.
