          ARCHIBALD PANCAKE, who has been for many years a conspicuous figure in the history of Ross county, Ohio, is the subject of the following biographical sketch: He is a native of the county in which he has always lived, born in Concord township, March 7, 1821, a son of Captain Isaac Pancake, a native of Virginia. The father was engaged in various commercial enterprises, and as he was a man of more than ordinary education he did considerable conveyancing and writing of legal documents. During the war of 1812 he was a Captain in the service of his country. He died at the age of eighty-seven years, having for sixty-five years been a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His wife, whose maiden name was Susan Daily, was born and reared in Kentucky. Her mother was a sister of John Champ, one of General George Washington's guards. Mrs. Pancake accompanied her family to Ohio, at an early day, and there passed the remainder of her life, dying at the age of sixty-eight years, having been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church from her sixteenth year. The paternal great-grandfather of our subject, John Pancake, was one of the pioneers of Ohio, coming here from Hampshire county, Virginia. He was one of the largest dealers in live-stock, driving many herds of cattle to Baltimore; his eldest son was the grandfather of Archibald Pancake, who in turn is the eldest child in a family of four sons and three daughters. He was born under the protecting shelter of a primitive log house, and as he grew to manhood was inured to the heavy labor of the frontier farm. His opportunites for acquiring an education were necessarily limited, but in 1847 he became a clerk in a store in Frankfort. During the previous year he had ridden all over the country, buying live-stock and wool, making many friends and winning the confidence of all with whom he had dealings. He purchased the store in which he gained his first mercantile experience, and in 1850 disposed of his intersts in this line, and purchased the farm which he now occupies. The original tract consisted of 100 acres, for which he paid at the rate of $20 an acre. He has added to this from time to time until he now has 300 acres in a high state of cultivation. He carries on a general farming business, and has met with more than ordinary success.
          Mr. Pancake was married in 1848 to Miss Sadie Mallow, daughter of Captain Henry Mallow, one of the early settlers of this section and an officer in the war of 1812. His father was captured by the Indians in Virginia at the age of six years, and was held a prisoner six years, when he made his escape. In later life he came to Ohio and was a land owner in Concord township, where he lived to an advanced age. Captain Mallow died at the age of sixty-eight years. His wife, whose maiden name was Sarah Hopejoy, lived to the age of eighty-three years; they were the parents of six children, three of whom are still living. Mr. and Mrs. Pancake have had nine children, only four of whom survive: Henry M., Isaac, Arthur and Sadie F. The family are all members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
          Mr. Pancake has never taken an active interest in politics, although he votes with the Democratic party. He is a man of good business ability, and has won the respect and confidence of a wide circle of acquaintances.
