OWEN LLOYD, stock-raiser and farmer, is a native of Ireland; was born March
21, 1807, and is the seventh of the ten children of Owen and Margaret
(Murdock) Lloyd, both natives of Ireland. Owen received a good ordinary
education and was reared a farmer. His grandfather and a brother received
from Oliver Cromwell a grant of 1,900 acres of land, and his father was a
large land owner and extensive farmer. In 1834, our subject emigrated to
these shores, settled in Cleveland, Ohio, for four years, and thereafter, in
1839, came to his present home and farm. To his original forty acres he
added until he owned at one time 360 acres, most of which he has bestowed
among his children. When quite a young man, Mr. Lloyd manifested a
predilection for trading, in which he was generally successful, and is
indebted to no one but himself for his progress and prosperity. April 7,
1838, he married Miss Sarah Coleman, a native of Ohio. To this union were
bestowed nine children--Robert C. (deceased), Edwin (deceased), Owen, Davis
(deceased), Clotilda, Alice, Francis C., Eliza, and an infant unnamed. Mr.
Lloyd is a Democrat, and was twice elected Trustee of this township; he is
also a benevolent and worthy citizen. Mr. Lloyd is a member of the
Episcopal, and Mrs. Lloyd of th Missionary Baptist Church.
