OUTCALT, GILBERT, farmer, Liberty township. He was born in Middlesex county, New Jersey, October 12, 1803; son of John F. and Mary (Taylor) Outcalt. He came with his parents to Ohio in 1820, settling in Liberty township, on the farm now owned by G. W. Reelhorn. Gilbert improved such educational advantages as were offered in New Jersey. In Liberty township he assisted his father in clearing their farm, remaining at home until his marriage to Miss Nancy Campbell, in March, 1826. She was born in Rockingham county, Virginia, January 10, 1808. For some years the young couple resided on the old Campbell farm, Mrs. Outcalt falling heir to a portion of the old place at the death of her father. Mr. and Mrs. Outcalt removed to Columbus in 1868, remaining there until their return to their former residence in 1878. The home farm contains one hundred and fifty acres, finely cultivated. Gilbert Outcalt is engaged largely in raising and selling stock. Of the ten children in this family, two died in infancy; Andrew, who was born in 1827, died in August, 1863; Mary Catharine is now the wife of G. Zone, of Columbus ; Harvey C. is a resident of Columbus; Henry D. resides upon the home place; Thomas J. is an assistant in the post office at Columbus ; A. Judson and Hiram are connected with the Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Columbus ; Sarah was the wife of Alfred Farringer. She died in February, 1876, leaving one son, Claude, who is now residing with his grandparents. Four of Mr. Outcalt's sons rendered able assistance during the late war. Thomas, Henry and Judson enlisted in the Seventeenth O. V. I., and participated in all the engagements of that regiment for three years. A. Judson was wounded at the battle of Lookout Mountain ; Thomas lost an arm in the engagement at Murfreesboro. Hiram served with the one hundred day men. The family are members of the Baptist Church.
