MAINLY FROM "HISTORY OF NORTH CENTRAL OHIO"
JOSEPH HART LARWILL, deceased, was outstanding among the influential and
widely known pioneer citizens of Wooster. He was born at Chesterton, England,
in 1784, and was nine years of age when he came to the United States with his
parents and settled in Philadelphia. Later, the family removed to Pittsburgh,
PA.
Mr. Larwill was appointed in 1804 by the United States Land office, under
management of Col. John Beyer, with assistants, to survey by sections the
lands of Wayne, Stark , and Columbiana counties. After preliminary surveys he
located his younger brother, William, in Wooster to continue the work. From
1806 until 1808, Joseph H. Larwill was one of the proprietors of the site of
Wooster and of Mansfield in Richland County. In 1810 he was appointed by the
General Assembly as commissioner for laying, opening and making public the
road from Canton west through Stark and Wayne counties to Mansfield. The
following Year he was appointed by Hon. William Eustic, Secretary of War, as
first Lieutenant of artillery in the U.S. Army. In 1812 he took part in the
British and Indian War and drew the original map of Fort Meigs within six
weeks of its seige. Shortly after the battle of the Thames in 1813, he was holding
McCrae's Tavern on the banks of the Thames River, in what had previously
been Canadian territory with a force of about 40 men. Here they were
surrounded and captured by Lieutenant Medcalf of the British forces. "Major
Larwill" and his men were marched to and held prisioner of war at Burlington
Ontario. After only several weeks captivity, Joseph Larwill was released but
his name can still be found in the Canadian records as a prisoner of war.
Faith in the little town of Wooster prompted Mr. Larwill in 1814 to persuade
his father, William C. Larwill, to remove here and establish a home just north
of the present public library. The family consisted of Joseph, Julia, William,
Mary, John, and Jabez. On an acre of ground extending west from Market street
the family established a homesite.
In 1817, Joseph Larwill married Nancy Quinby, the daughter of Ephriam Quinby,
the proprietor of Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio.
Mr Larwill served as senator from Wayne and Holmes counties during 1826, and
in 1829 he was appointed reciever of money for public lands at Tiffin by
President Andrew Jackson, who was his close friend and associate. Mr Larwill
also was reciever for public lands at Bucyrus, Ohio, in 1834. He and his
brothers were prominent in Ohio politics for many years and held offices of
commissioner, recorder, clerk of court, clerk of senate, and senator.
Mr Larwill died in 1867 and is buried at Wooster. He was known for his stern
integrity, resolute purpose, and broad intelligence. He was a member of the
Baptist church at Wooster, of which his Uncle, David Kimpton, was a charter
member and lay preacher.
Although having no children of their own, Mr. and Mrs. Larwill showed great
interest in their many nieces and nephews, all of whom spent much time in the
Larwill home.
