| Notes |
- Daniel Wonders, a farmer of Bellefontaine, was one of the most successful and well-known farmers in Logan county. He was a son of Jacob and Christianna (Leas) Wonders, both of whom were born in York County; his father followed teaming in early life, and was detailed as a teamster in the War of 1812; after his marriage, however, he went to farming, and in 1836, wooed to Logan County, where he resided 18 months, and then went back to Venango County, PA, where his father (Sebastian Wonder) had bought a large tract of land for the purpose of giving each of his children a farm. Jacob sold his in 1844, and came to Logan County and settled in Zane Township, where he died in 1877, and his wife one year previous. Daniel went to the blacksmiths' trade when 19 years old, and after an apprenticeship of two years returned to his father's, where he worked at the trade and on the farm for two years, and then commenced dealing in stock. He followed that, together with farming, with the best of success for many years, and by his own exertions had accumulated a handsome property, owning two good farms. He also built good and substantial buildings. He was married September 13, 1853 to Elizabeth Dickinson, daughter of Richard M. and Margaret (Henry) Dickinson; she was born April 5, 1826 in Logan County, her parents being among the first settlers of the county. Daniel's marriage was blessed with three children: Margaret, George and Mary. (from 'History of Logan County, Ohio', Chicago, OL Baskin & Co, 1880)
