      HON. PEYTON HORD, deceased, was born in Rockingham County, Va., December 2, 1816. In 1825, his parents, Nathaniel G. and Mary Hord, moved from Virginia to Zanesville, Ohio, thence to Franklin County, and finally to Grand Prairie Township,Marion County, where Mr. Hord died. His widow survived him some years and died in Franklin County.

      Hon. Peyton Hord was reared on a farm and acquired a common school education. He married, October 10, 1847. Mary J.Hutchinson, who was born in Franklin County, Ohio, November 5, 1825. In 1826, he removed to this county, settling in Marion Township, and in two years moved to Grand Prairie Township. Mr. Hord, soon after he came to the county, engaged in handling stock, which he followed for a number of years. He purchased and drove cattle and hogs through the Black Swamp to Detroit, and also over the mountains to Eastern markets; of later years he took advantage of the railroads and did a large shipping business. In 1867, Mr. Hord was elected on the Republican ticket to the Lower House of the Legislature, and few men ever represented this county more honorably and faithfully than he. With a view to public benefit and improvement, he introduced many bills in the Legislature that became laws, and which won, not only from his own constituency, but also from the Statu at large, the highest approval. He was the author of the 8 per cent interest law, the bill authorizing the sale of the " old fair grounds " and purchasing the new, the bill authorizing the macadamizing of the streets of Marion, and also of the bill which authorized the clearing of the channel of the Scioto River of trees. These all were made laws, and the latter was one that conduced to the direct benefit of many living in the Scioto Valley. Mr. Hord was President of the Agricultural Society one year, and was otherwise identified with it; was Chief Marshal of the Fair several years. He died September 28, 1875, honored and respected. Mrs. Hord moved to Marion in April, 1882, where she now resides. Their married life was blessed with seven children, four sons and three daughters ? Amaziah H.,T. Benton, Addie (wife of Rev. D. M. Harris), Balie P., Laura F. , Jennie M. and Charles M.
