- Elizabeth Hempleman Briggs
Elizabeth Hempleman, daughter of George Hempleman the Second and Ruth Howell Hempleman, was born in Hardin Co., Va., Oct 8, 1803, and came to Ohio with her father, mother, two sisters, grandfather and the George Weaver family. A history of this memorable journey across the mountains has been given in this history before, and the first night they camped in Clarke County, Ohio, was under a large elm tree on the north bank of the Masses creek. Near by was the home of Samuel Briggs. Mrs. Briggs, wife of Samuel Briggs, was one of those great-hearted pioneer women and when she saw this camp of movers with a lot of small children, her heart went out to them, and she sent her sons down to this camp with milk, bread and wild honey, and one of these boys named Samuel, who afterwards married for his wife Elizabeth Hempleman, one of those little girls in this camp that night, and she and her husband afterwards owned this very farm on which they camped that night, and there lived until her husband died, then moved to South Charleston, Ohio, and there married a man by the name of Jacob Kizer, and there lived until she died January 30, 1889. Jacob Kizer died in South Charleston, Ohio in 1884.
Elizabeth Hempleman, daughter of George Hempleman the Second and Ruth Howell Hempleman, married Samuel Briggs May 10, 1821.
Samuel Briggs born January 18, 1787, died September 8, 1850. To them were born seven children, Lucinda, Mary Ann, Matilda, Amos, Charles, Henry and Elizabeth.
