Jabez B. Challacombe
by Grant Challacombe
Jabez B. Challacombe was born on the eighteenth day of March 1834. He was the second child and the first boy of Thomas and Susannah Challacombe. The oldest girl, Julia Ann, was born at sea on May 4, 1832. The remaining children—Jabez B. (1834), Thomas Jr. (1836), Mary (1838), William (1840), Emma (1842), Nellie (1844), Susan (1847), Lucy (1849)—were all born on a farm near Honesdale, Pennsylvania.
On April 30, 1850, Thomas died, leaving nine children—all younger than eighteen. His widow married a local widower by the name of George Rogers, and the family started making plans to move west. But first, another wedding took place. This one was between Julia Ann and Orin Noble. Orin was a local man born in Damascus, Pennsylvania, a carpenter by trade. By the mid-1850s, the family had moved to Ohio. Jabez and Thomas Jr. were working as carpenters in the vicinity of Cleveland. It was not known if the boys acquired most of their skill while working for their father or through their association with their older brother-in-law, Orin Noble.
In 1860, most of the family lived in Wellington, a small town in Lorain County, which was about thirty miles west of Cleveland. Susannah and George (Pa) Rogers lived in Huntington about five miles south of Wellington. Also living there were the four youngest Challacombe
