GEORGE HOSELTON, one of Walkerville's prominent agriculturists, is a native of Ohio, having been born in Fairfield county, on Marcy 17, 1832, being a son of John and Nancy (Buzzard) Hoselton, the former being a native of Maryland, and the latter of Ohio. George was reared in Ohio, and when 17 years of age, walked from there to Ft. Wayne, Ind., carrying his pack. After remaining there a short time he went to LaGrange, where he spent that winter, and in the spring returned to Ft. Wayne. He remained there until Sept., 1850, and then came to Greene county, locating south of Carrollton. He lived in Greene and Jersey counties, alternately, until 1850, since which time he has resided in Greene almost continuously. On Oct. 11, 1852, Jane Hunnicutt became the beloved wife of Mr. Hoselton. She is a native of this county, and was a daughter of Rowell Hunnicutt, one of the early settlers of the county, and whose sketch appears elsewhere in this volume. Mr. and Mrs. Hoselton are the happy parents of eight children - Mary, who resides in Missouri; Ellen, Lee, Nora, John, Edgar, Ross and Julia. Mr. H. has 200 acres of good land in Walkerville township, and his house is one of the finest in this section of the county, in dimension being 21x14 and 30x14, with an L, 26x14. The building is handsomely fitted up with trimmings and porches, and is two and a half stories in height. By marriage, Mr. Hoselton is connected with one of the oldest families in the county, which figured in its early history. John Hoselton, the father of our subject, died in Jersey county, in Jan., 1880, and his widow now resides in Mississippi township.
