John W. Lord was born at New York city March 3, 1824, son of William and Mary (Jones) Lord. The father, a native of England, was a British soldier in early life, and while serving in Ireland, was married. His wife was a native of that island. They immigrated to America at once, and at New York, Mr. Jones [sic] found employment as a carpenter. After spending a year in Vermont, he went to farming in New York and was so engaged until 1839, when he removed to Ohio. Ten years later, the family came to this county, making their home in Clayton, where the father died in 1859, and the mother fifteen years later. They had six sons, one of whom died in the civil war, and one daughter.
John W., the oldest, learned blacksmithing at the age of nineteen, and followed it fifteen years. That and farming and running a threshing machine has occupied him during life. March 1, 1848, he married Catherine Whitefield, of Ohio, a native of Ireland. She died January 18, 1852 and Mr. Lord subsequently married Charlotte Rowland of this county, who died in 1857, leaving two children: Phoebe Annette and William G. July 5, 1858, he was married to Margaret Gibson, a native of Londonderry, Ireland, who survives, the mother of the following children: Christiana, Catherine E., Belle, Rebecca and Joseph. Mr. And Mrs. Lord are members of the United Brethren church; he is a republican, and has served twenty years and more as constable.
