History of Coshocton County, OH, p. 726:
"LEIGHNINGER, ASA, Lafayette township; farmer; was born in this county in
1836; son of George Leighninger, was married in 1860 to Miss Sarah Foster, a native of England, who came to this country when quite young. They have had six children, viz: Norah, U. Grant, Ernest, Ida; George, and an infant, both
deceased. He and his wife are members of the Protestant Methodist church. Mr. Leighninger owns 130 acres of land in this township, and twenty-four acres in Oxford township, and is an enterprising farmer. . . .

"LEIGNINGER, B. F., Lafayette township; post office, West Lafayette; was born
in this township, in 1838; son of George and Mary (Wolfe) Leighninger. His
father died in 1841; his mother is still living, aged eight-four years. He was
md., in 1870, to Nelia Conaway, dau. of Michael and Elizabeth (Lovelace) Conaway, both Virginians. They have three children: Ell M.; Charley C., deceased, and Clyde H. Mr. Leighninger was a member of Company E., One
Hundred and Forty-second O.N.G., holding the commission of Second Lieutenant; was in general hospital, at Fortress Monroe, three weeks, with the typhoid fever, and had charge of forty of the sick and disabled, in their
transportation home. In 1866, Mr. Leighninger, in company with B. F. Fleming, was engaged very extensively in the lumber business, in Southern Indiana; running their own mill, buying and selling, and carrying on quite a successful business, when he was stricken with the lung fever and remained sick four months; and, seeing he could not endure the exposure and hardships incident thereto, he sold his entire interest to Mr. John Grove, of Harrison county. In early life, Mr. Leighninger, with his brothers Levi, Asa and Lewis, formed a partnership, with the home farm of 180 acres, after they had bought out the heirs, as their capital, and worked together unt. 1856, when Levi withdrew and located on a hill-farm in Oxford township, known as the Mushrush farm. In 1859 Lewis withdrew, the possessor of a fine farm of 100 acres near West Lafayette; the partnership between Isa and B.F., continued until last spring, when the stock was divided between them, giving to each a fine farm, well stocked and improved. The farm owned by B.F. was bought 1 Apr 1867, and known as the Ralph Phillips farm, Mr. Phillips having entered it and owning it until the purchase by the Leighningers. The farm is one of the best improved in the county, and is set off by one of the prettiest houses on the plains, supplied with all the modern improvements, and everything in fact, tending to make a pleasant home. There never was a more prosperous and happy combination, all things considered, than this, inasmuch as there never was a jar during the years that their interests were a common one, and was the means of giving them all comfortable homes."

Quite a colony of early settlers were from near Carlisle, Cumberland county, Pennsylvania. Perhaps the earliest of them was Philip Waggoner, who came to Oxford township in 1806. He died a few years later. Philip Wolfe came soon after, and settled at Wolfe's Corners, a little north of the center of the township, where Henry Wolfe now lives. He died in Sep 1825. Still later, George Leighninger emigrated from the same place. He was a young man when he came, and afterward md. a dau. of Mr. Wolfe, who is still living with her son in Lafayette township, in the eighty-fifth year of her age. George Loos came in 1811. Like the others, he came overland, moving in a five-horse team, and settling at Loos' Corners, in the western part of the township. He purchased his farm from Robert Newell, who had been living on it and moved farther west after he had disposed of it. Daniel Loos relates that when his father moved out from Pennsylvania, in 1811, Mr. Wolf came out a distance with a team to help him over some ofthe big hills in Tuscarawas county. He was keeping tavern at that time. His tavern sign was a picture of General Washington mounted upon a white horse, an emblem which then, doubtless, appealed loudly to American patriotism. George Leighninger tended bar here for a while, but afterward bought a farm close by and moved upon it. The second school in the county was probably taught here. Mr. Calhounsays: " In 1806, or thereabouts, Mr. Joseph Harris taught a school in the settlement, at Evansburg. This is the second intimation of the existence of a school which we have received. Here the widow Johnson, wife of Adam Johnson, deceased, remembers being sent to attend the school." The first school which Mr. Calhoun speaks of was held three or four years earlier up the Walhonding. An early school-house was built abt. 1812, at John Junkins' place, in which James Lisk was one of the first teachers. George Leighninger afterward taught here.
