  	Aged 81y 8m 18d SAMUEL DEATON, farmer; P. 0. Christiansburg ;was born in Botetort Va., March 30, 1813, a son of George and Susannah Deaton. She was a native of Lancaster Co., Penn., born in 1787, a daughter of Andrew and Mary Ream. Andrew was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, enlisting at the age of 15. George Deaton was born in Amelia Co., Va., about 1791. He died at the age of 37, the father of nine -William (deceased), Samuel, George W., Andrew J., Nathan (deceased), Mary, Martha, Susan and Levi. In the summer of 1828, Mrs. Deaton and family moved to Ohio and located near Northampton, Clark Co. She died in Champaign Co. in 1867. Samuel was raised a farmer, but after coming to this county he worked by the month and like Abraham Lincoln, got his start in the world by making rails. The first money he ever earned for himself was on Christmas Day, 1830. He made 101 rails before breakfast when the snow was four inches deep. Wages then were 25 cents per hundred. He gradually worked along, saving what he made until he was able to purchase a home. Although severely afflicted with rheumatism for nineteen years, he has succeeded in being comfortably situated for declining years, besides assisting his children. At the age of 16, he was unable to read, but by his own earnest effort he qualified himself for the business of life, and taught school eighteen or twenty terms. He has served his township as Assessor two years, Trustee seven years and Constable six years. On the 29th of June, 1841, he was united in marriage with Nancy Carmin. She was born June 4, 1814, and died June 21, 1856, the mother of ten children. Six grew to maturity-William C. (now deceased), Samuel H., Charlotte L, James M., Martha V and A. B. C. Mr. Deaton married for his second wife Juretta Priest, a daughter of Jere miah and Sarah Priest, born in Miami Co. June 11, 1833. Mr. Deaton and three children are members of the M. E. Church.
