In 1860, at the age of ten Uriah Hess traveled by wagon to Ohio from Uniontown, Maryland with his parents John and Barbara Hess. In the 1870’s they settled in the Pleasant Hill area of Miami County. Uriah and Armina Hess had twelve children with nine living to adulthood. Surnames in that generation include Morris, Hoke, Faulknor, Swank, and McClure. Their first reunion was held August 22, 1907.
