Wayne Township, Adams County, Ohio, USA
Wayne Township, Justices of the Peace, 1810-1899
Editor's notes: The data on this page was extracted from A History of Adams County, Ohio, by Nelson W. Evans and Emmons B. Stivers.
This table is sorted alphabetically by surname to make it easier to read. Below is the same table in the chronological order used by Evans and Stivers. The date format has been changed to a standard genealogical format and the names have been inverted in both tables to emphasize the surnames. If you have any primary or secondary sources that verify any of these names or dates of office holding, and add to the stories of these individuals and their families, please consider submitting them to enhance this page. Eventually, I would like to link these names to their respective entries in the federal census.
