Obed H. Aborn, deputy clerk of the Koscinsko [Kosciusko?] Circuit Court, was born in Lewis County, New York, August 19, 1825. When two years of age his parents removed to Watertown, Jefferson County [NY], where he was reared. He was given a common-school education, and at the age of sixteen began to learn the joiner's trade, at which he worked, more or less for thirteen years. In 1844 he came West and located in Champaign County, Ohio, where he worked at his trade a portion of the time until 1856, when he was employed as bookkeeper and clerk in a dry goods store at Mechanicsburgh [Ohio]. He remained there until 1858, then came to Warsaw, and was employed as deputy clerk of the circuit court under Thomas Wood, and has served as such, with the exception of six years under succeeding clerks, until the present. In 1863 he was elected clerk of Koscinsko Circuit Court, and served four years. Politically he is a Republican. His father, Calvin Aborn, was a native of Vermont and of Scottish ancestry. He was a machinist, or millwright, by trade. He died in Watertown, New York, in 1870, at the age of seventy-six years. He was formally a Democrat, but in after life was a staunch Republican. He was reared a Scotch Quaker, and adhered to that faith during life. Mr. Aborn's mother, Sarah (Horr) Aborn, was a native of Massachusetts and of Irish descent. She died at her native town in New York in 1838. Our subject was married at Mechanicsburg, Ohio, June 17, 1847, to Miss Mary Woods, daughter of Adam S. and Margaret (Campbell) Woods, a native of Pennsylvania, born near Gettysburg, and of German-Irish ancestry.

Fisher, of Detroit, Michigan, and Calvin E., of Warsaw. Mr. Aborn is a member of St. Andrews Episcopal Church, of Warsaw; also a member of the Masonic fraternity, and has taken degrees up to the Knights Templar.

"Elijah Horr's branch of the family came into Northern New York in the latter part of the last century, and settled in Denmark, Lewis county."

If this is true then Jacob was the first child of Robert and Sarah's to leave Massachusetts. It is said that brothers Warren and Robert with Jacob moved there about the same time.

Jacob moved to Ohio before 1818.
