CHARLES S. COLVIN, Sr., liveryman, Lebanon, was born in New Jersey Jan. 13, 1822. His father, John Colvin, was born in Ireland and emigrated to America in the beginning of the nineteenth century, and about the year 1818 married Miss Martha Brown, a native of New Jersey, by whom he had six children, four now living. He died in Salem County, N. J., in 1826. at the age of 34 years. His widow with her children came to Ohio in the spring of 1832, and settled in Lebanon, Warren County, where she died in 1852. Our subject attended country schools for a short time, and at the tender age of seven years went to work on a farm, at which he continued until he reached his majority, when he commenced teaming for himself. In 1852, he opened a livery stable in the east end of Lebanon, and. after moving his stable to various parts of town, he, in 1865, opened the stable on Mechanic street, whore he has since remained. On the 7th of November, 1843, he married Miss Mary L. Gohegan, daughter of Edwin and Elizabeth Gohegan, natives of Lebanon. He has had six children, three only surviving, viz., John E., Charles S., Jr. and Ella. Mr. Colvin is a man of genial, accommodating manners, and does a thriving livery business, for which he seems to be peculiarly adapted.
