Born ‎19 Sep 1830 Chambersburg PA, died ‎8 May 1897‎, 66 years. Occupation: Printer
Likely connection. It appears Mary Elizabeth may have died before 1860.

Joseph W. Dumble was born in Chambersburg, Penn., September 19, 1830. When nine years of age he went to Marion, Ohio, where he learned, the printer's trade. In 1853 he bought the Marion Independent, which he published until 1857. Having sold the Independent in the latter year, he soon after became the local editor of the Ironton (Ohio) Register, remaining in that position for seven years, when he removed to Marietta to take the local editorship of the Register. In 1872, he took an interest in the paper, but in 1876, sold out and came to Middleport. Mr. Dumble purchased the Meigs County News at this time, which he changed to the Meigs County Repulican. This paper has come to be one of the most reliable and interesting journals in the county. Under Mr. Dumble's judicious management its subscription list has kept pace with the constant improvement in its columns. Republican in politics, it is at once aggressive and alert in political matters. It is edited on the broadest principles of journalism. Mr. Dumble married Jennie E. Brice, in the year 1860, and six children were born to them: Jessie F., Fannie M. Bryan, Carl C., Nellie F., Laura M. and Fred M. Mrs. Dumble died March 21, 1883, October 14, 1885, Mrs. Anna E. Cheatham Van Duyn, eldest daughter of the late Dr. Van Duyn, of Middleport, Ohio, became his wife. For nine years Mr. Dumble was a member of the Harmar board of education. John Dumble, his father, was an Englishman, having been born at Cornwall in 1790. He came to the United States in 1820, and died in this country in 1862. Nancy Barr became his wife in 1821, and bore him six children, viz.: John B. (deceased), Martha A. Collins; William F. (deceased), Joseph W., Ephraim H. and Samuel R. The mother died in 1836.

Mary Dumble was referred to in an 1859 Logan County case regarding a title where it appears that the Ewing clan had signed off on a deed and Mary was a minor who was married. see Cornell v. McLain's Heirs, etc. Vol. IV Weekly Law Gazette 187 Logan Common Pleas Court, December Term, 1859

This case notes that John Ewing died without a will and had 9 chiildren, seven of whom signed off their rights to their mother Deborah and Mary who was a married minor and Sherman who was referred to as non competent although disputed.

Deed records need to be examined.

Mary's children were Mary age 3 and H Dumbell (Dumble) age 5 in 1860 see Job Garwood Logan County 1860 census
