BRICKER OF OHIO The Man and His Record by Karl B. Pauly
G.P. Putnam’s Sons
New York
1944
p. 15
“ In a log house on a small farm in Pleasant Township, six miles north of Mt. Sterling and twenty miles southwest of Columbus, John and Mary Ellen, twins, were born to Lemuel Spencer and Laura King Bricker on September 6, 1893.
Both the Brickers and the Kings had been farmers and pioneers for generations. The Reformed Church in Frederick, Maryland, lists John and Jacob Bricker (sometimes Brucker or Brucher) among the inhabitants of Frederick County in 1762. John, the Governor’s great-great-great-grandfather, and his younger brother Jacob were born in Poltz, a small town in southern Germany, in 1725 and 1740. The great eighteenth-century migration from Switzerland, southern Germany, and the Netherlands to escape religious persecution brought the brothers to America, where they settled in Maryland.”
p. 16
“By 1769 John Bricker had acquired three farms, totaling two hundred acres. He and Anamaria, his wife, had seven children, the oldest of whom was also named John. This second John served in the Revolutionary War as a corporal in Captain Phillip Sander’s Company of Colonel Ludwig Waltner’s German regiment, Continental Line, recruited from Baltimore and Frederick counties. He and his wife, Nancy Boyd Bricker, had a family of seven girls and four boys. He started the family’s migration to Ohio by moving westward in 1810 into Allegheny County, Maryland, where he settled on one of two farms he bought there. It was one of his sons, Jacob, who crossed the Ohio River to found the family in Madison County.
Jacob’s son James Henry, the Governor’s grandfather, and Lemuel Spencer, his father, were both born on farms in Madison County, as was his mother, Laura King. The Kings were of Scotch-Irish stock; and, like the Brickers, had come from Maryland”
