Asceal Brookover was reared in Virginia, where he was married and, about the year 1800, he emigrated to this county (Brown County, Ohio), after a residence of one year in Mason County, Kentucky. Locating on this side of the river, he purchased fifty acres of land, which he afterward lost on account of defective title. He purchased other lands and was very prosperous, owning a large tract in the aggregate during his life. His land he cleared up and improved. He held the office of Trustee and Constable of this township for some years; while in the latter office his fees for one year amounted to about $2. He was a liberal-minded man and always gave liberally to the building of churches or in assisting to maintain charitable institutions. Although a Universalist in religious belief, he was never radical. He prospered during his life, and accumulated a good property.
To them were born ten children, of whom four are living, namely: Sarah Grimes, Adams County, Ohio; Matilda Lusely, Missouri; Margy G. Campbell, Aberdeen, Ohio; and our subject (James). The deceased are: Richard, this county; John, Adams County; George W., Indiana; Andrew J., Brown County; Nancy Case, this county; and Polly, who died in infancy. Mr. Brookover died October 25, 1850. Mrs. Brookover died in 1860, at the advanced age of eighty-four years.
