Notities over John Dugan Barricklow

John Dugan Barricklow, 1st child of Frederick and Nancy Dugan Barricklow, was left 120 acres to himself and 3 brothers in section 14, Cadiz Township, Harrison County, Ohio. They worked for their neighbors making rails to build fences; clearing land; cutting wheat with sickles, or whatever work they could find.
In 1859, John Dugan started for the far west, where land was cheap. In the North West County of Missouri he purchased 2 sections of land from the Government at $1.25 per acre. This made ¬Î© section, or 320 acres for each of the four brothers.
Hearing of gold being found in Colorado, he joined the "Gold Rush". Forming an ox train of covered wagons, a group crossed the plains through Indian country. Herds of buffalo were on the plains. They killed them for meat. Their fuel was buffalo chips (dung). They would travel 15 to 20 miles per day. Arriving in Colorado they began prospecting for gold. Some gold was found which was spent in searching for more. By the time John Dugan Barricklow reached home again, 4 years had elapsed.
The brothers pooled their money and bought 190 acres of land in Jockey Hollow, Athens Township, Harrison County, Ohio. Later they purchased 180 acres adjoining this. Then they bought 189 acres to the south, making a total of 559 acres. Later, 182 acres were bought in Section 18, Cadiz Township, Harrison County, Ohio.
Between the years 1829-1927, John married and reared a family of 4 sons and 5 daughters. As John was the lasst of the 4 brothers to die he inherited his brothers' estates, or most of it. At the time of his death he owned nearly 1200 acres of land. He sold nearly $2500 worth of timber off this land. Part of this timber was used in repairing "The Constitution", or "Old Ironsides". (Launched at Boston, September 20, 1797.) Planks 40 feet long and 3 inches thick were sawed out of this timber. Some trees were hewed in the woods. Several pieces 73 feet long; 18 inches square at one end, and 24 inches square at the other. These long pieces were chained to 2 flat cars for shipping.
His heirs sold the land at different times. The Hanna Coal Company bought the greater part of it early, 1940-1945, before strip mining began. Price paid ranged from $100.00 to $125.00 per acre.
In 1871 they moved to a farm in Cadiz Township, section 14. On this farm was a 2 story log house. Later a new house was built beside the log one. They lived on this farm until September 1906 when they retired and moved to Flushing, Ohio.
Shortly after they moved to the 'Home Farm', he bought 48 acres from Mr. Hawthorn, which made 163 acres. In 1875 he bought an ajoining farm of 127
acres from Granville Dickerson. In 1884 he purchased 104 acres from Samuel Porter. This made the total acreage of 396 acres. He usually kept about 600 sheep and from 40 to 50 head of cattle.
About 1900-1904 he took stock in Short Creek Coal Company to the amount of $4,000.00. The Hanna Coal Company took over the Short Creek Company. He sold his holding in 1920.
In 1900 he visited in Colorado where he had been in 1860. This time he travelled on the train instead of covered wagon. He died in Flushing, Ohio, February 1927. He and his wife Mary are buried in the Cadiz, Ohio Cemetary.
