Locality

This family hails from north-western Somerset. The work below was largely prepared prior to June 2014 independent of the extensive Hagley compilation The Hagley Herald 1997 A Brief Historical record of the Hagleys of Somerset [accesssed June 2014]; it begins at reference “1.1.5.4.7.1 Mary Pearce – 41” of that work.

Early Generations

Thomas Hagley died early of tuberculosis, predeceasing his wife; he was buried at Withycombe, St Nicholas SOM. Apparently tuberculosis plagued the family for many years, the early Ohio Hagleys dying out of it, and William taking it to New Zealand with him where it caused his early death.
The National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1966 notes:

Mary Hagley née Crockford passed away in March 1917; her funeral is described in the following obituary (with annotations from Carolyn Hostetler):
WITHYCOMBE A very old and respected resident - Mrs. M. Hagley - widow of the late Mr. T. Hagley - passed away at Coombe Farm on 25th ult at the ripe age of 81 years. Although ailing for some time past, Mrs. Hagley only took to her bed about a week before her death and bore with great resignation the symptoms of senile decay. The funeral took place here on Saturday last, the chapel service being conducted by the rector, the Rev. G. W. Govan, who accompanied by the choir met the cortege at the lych-gate. As they entered the church the organist (Mr. Foate) played "He wipes the tears from every eye" and later the "Dead March" and hymns 401 and 499 were included in an impressive service, the 90th Psalm being chanted to Barnby. An address by the rector was couched in very sympathetic terms, one of the deceased's sons* being a churchwarden and his colleague (Mr. Foate) read the lesson. The mourners were Mr. C. Hagley†, Mr. T. Hagley‡, Miss Hagley§, Mrs Cockle|| and Mr. C. Case and the coffin (of unpolished oak) was laid in a grave beautifully lined with moss studded with flowers. Messrs. H. Pearce**, S. Griffith, T. Weybourne††, B. Case, J. Gould‡‡, and W. Case were the bearers. Dr. F. G. Hayes, Mr. T. H. Leversha§§, and E. F. Case, Miss Howells, Mr. Maidment, Mrs. Gratton, Miss Edbrooke, and others attended the ceremony. The floral tributes, which contained some exquisite blooms, were as follows —
To dear mother from her devoted and loving children - 'Rest in Peace'
With deepest sympathy from her loving cousin E. Cockle.
In affectionate remembrance H. M. Hatherly - (Bristol)
In affectionate remembrance from her nephew and niece (Minehead)
With deepest sympathy from the workpeople at Coombe - R.I.P.
A last tribute of affection and regard from Rev. and Mrs. G. W. Maitland Govan, Miss Eileen Govan, Miss N. Howells, (Withycombe Rectory)
With kindest remembrance from Mr. and (Mrs.?) Edgar F. Case|| || and family (Withycombe)

1.1.1  Elizabeth Annie Hagley (1870…1951)

Elizabeth Annie Hagley (“Annie”), daughter of THOMAS HAGLEY and MARY (Polly) CROCKFORD, was born September 1870. Like her brothers, to whom she was very close, Annie never married.
Elizabeth Ann Hagley [“Annie”] aged 80, spinster of Carhampton, Somersetshire, died 2 March 1951 at The Tone Vale Hospital, Norton Fitzwarren, Somersetshire: Probate on her Estate (effects £571 14s. 6.) was granted to Mary Fish and Ella Letitia Fish spinsters on 16 April 1951 at London. Her cousin Amy Crockford wrote in June 1951 that the doctor had said that Annie had "taken queer in the head", but inferred that it was only old age. Annie was buried at Withycombe SOM "with the rest of the family"; the same hymns were used at the funeral service "as for Charlie".

Ella Letitia Fish (born 1882; died aged 69 on 20 February 1952) was a daughter of Henry Fish and his wife Letitia Shepherd, of East Quantoxhead, Somerset. Ella had a younger sister Mary Fish (born circa 1888).

Charlie lived at Coombe Farm, Withycombe (visited by Walter William Crockford in 1920); after leaving Coombe Farm he and his sister Annie lived at Carhampton. He was apparently very handsome, a ladies’ man, and had had a serious girlfriend . Charlie was a churchwarden at Withycombe in 1917, at the time of his mother’s funeral; he predeceased Annie.

Charles Hagley, aged 72, of High Street, Carhampton, Somersetshire, died 9 August 1945: Administration on his Estate (effects £355) was granted to Elizabeth Ann Hagley spinster on 5 October 1945 at Llandudno [Gwynedd , Wales].

1.1.3  Thomas Hagley (c1875…1922)

Thomas Hagley, son of THOMAS HAGLEY and MARY (Polly) CROCKFORD, was born c1875 at Withycombe. Thomas, who never married, survived his parents.

Thomas Hagley, aged 48, of Coombe Farm, Withycombe, Somersetshire, died 7 December 1922: Administration on his Estate (effects £608) was granted to Charles Hagley farmer on 3 January 1923 in London.

1.2  John Hagley (1844…1907) m. Elizabeth Crockford (1844…1916)

John Hagley, bachelor farmer, and Elizabeth Crockford, spinster, each aged 29 years, were married in August 1873 by Revd John Smallridge at the Bible Christian chapel at Hocken's House, St Cleer CON; witnesses were Revd Edgcombe and Annie Smalbridge. [The certified copy of the Crockford Hagley marriage entry has John and Annie Smalbridge rather than Smallridge]. John Hagley, born 2 May 1844 and baptised 8 July 1844 at St Nicholas', Withycombe, was a son of farmer CHARLES HAGLEY (of Coombe [Farm], Withycombe) and his wife MARY PEARSE. John Hagley lived at Withycombe SOM at the time of his marriage in 1873. Elizabeth Crockford, born 1844, was the seventh of eight children born to farmer WILLIAM CROCKFORD and his wife JANE FISH (see Crockford notes). At the time of her marriage Elizabeth was staying with John Smallridge and his wife Ann Crockford, her younger sister, in St Cleer.
Elizabeth and John remained adherents to the Church of England at St Nicholas' parish, Withycombe, Somerset.

eYoB = estimated year of birth (Not included in Census: based on simple subtraction of age from Census year).
John and Elizabeth had four known children:
Carolyn Hostetler wrote (January 2003):
"Amusingly, the tombstone for John Hagley, my grandmother Alice's elder brother, also lies. He was born after a very short pregnancy following their wedding in 1873, so they just made him a year younger. Imagine the circumstances of their wedding, Elizabeth and John down in Cornwall there the Rev. Smallridge had a church, and apparently stayed there for the wedding. Thus, they were not married at their usual Anglican church at Cutcombe or Withycombe. The Rev. John S. was a non-conformist pastor. I've always guessed that he met Anne while preaching at the little chapel at Luckwell Brdge. That chapel has been re-modeled into a dwelling. It was within walking distance of West Hawkwell.
…From my earliest childhood I was aware of the Smallridges. Especially Cousin Laura, for whom my mother was named. Aunt Mary Loomis Davis, who is still lively at 88, recalls visiting Laura and her companion in the early [1940s], I have a picture of the sisters together…"

John and Elizabeth emigrated with their children to Canada in 1889, moving to the United States shortly afterwards. They lived in a house in what is now known as German Church Road, Portage Co, Ohio, which passed to their son William. John and Elizabeth and are buried at Deerfield OH.

John Hagley (senior) died on 19 October 1907 and his wife Elizabeth Hagley née Crockford died 10 February 1916: they are buried in Hartzell Cemetery (Section C, Row 11), Deerfield Township, Portage County, Ohio.
[Mary Lang née Hagley was a daughter of a brother of John Hagley (a Mrs Lang attended the 1937 funeral of Gregory Crockford at Wootton Courtenay SOM, to which was sent a floral tribute from Mr and Mrs H Lang and family). Mary was the grandmother of Mrs Evelyn Willliams, who with her husband Mitchell Wilson visited Carolyn Hostetler in Ohio in mid-1995. The Williams were from New Zealand.

1.2.1  John Hagley (1873…1901)

John Hagley, born after September 1873 at Withycombe SOM, son of JOHN HAGLEY and ELIZABETH CROCKFORD, was living with his parents at Gupworthy Farm, Wityycombe, in the 1881 census. John (junior) emigrated to Ohio, intially at Deerfield, where he was a member of the 'KOTM' and a carpenter on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway under J E McFadden. He had been engaged to Bertha Lazarus.

John died of typhoid on 16 April 1901, aged 27, soon after moving to Jersey St, Alliance, Stark Co., Ohio.

1.2.2  Alice H Hagley (1875…1964) m. Humbert Harlow Loomis (1870…1933)

Alice H Hagley, born October 1875, Gupworthy Farm, Withycombe SOM, daughter of JOHN HAGLEY and ELIZABETH CROCKFORD, emigrated to Canada in 1889 and went to Deerfield, Portage Co., Ohio in 1890, where in June 1897 she married Humbert Harlow Loomis, son of HUMBERT SHEPHERD LOOMIS and MALINDA WISE, born on Christmas Day in 1870 at Deerfield. Alice and Humbert lived briefly at Mentor Ohio circa 1898, but otherwise dwelt at Deerfield. A Methodist farmer and briefly a school teacher, Humbert Harlow Loomis was a graduate of a two year agriculture course at Ohio State University. The couple had seven children:
Humbert Harlow Loomis died at Deerfield on 4 April 1933 and was buried in the Hartzell cemetery. Alice Loomis nee Hagley died in 1968.

1.2.2.1  John H Loomis (1889…1985) m. Ruth Strang (…1996)

John H Loomis, born July 1889, Mentor, Lake Co., OH, to HUMBERT HARLOW LOOMIS and ALICE H HAGLEY, married Ruth Strang in August 1932. The couple had at least one daughter (who married Revd Donald MacNeil).

John lived principally in Alliance, Stark Co. OH, where he operated farm machinery. John Loomis died February 1985 in Stark Co. Ruth Loomis née Strang died on 1 January 1996 at Alliance and was buried on 4th inst. at Deerfield, Ohio.

1.2.2.2  Nellie Elizabeth Loomis (1899…1924) and Ira Myers

Nellie Elizabeth Loomis was born in August 1899, Deerfield, Portage Co OH, second child of HUMBERT HARLOW LOOMIS and ALICE H HAGLEY. Nellie had one child to Ira Myers, (born and died 1924). Nellie died in childbirth and was buried with her infant son at Atwater OH.

1.2.2.3  Laura Alice Loomis (1903…1989) m. Roscoe Clayton Wilcox (1901…1950)

Roscoe, a Deerfield hardware merchant and postmaster, had been born in October 1901 at Deerfield to GEORGE CLAYTON WILCOX and CAROLINE LOGUE (Corrie). The couple had four children:
Laura and Roscoe divorced in 1948. Roscoe died at Salem, Columbiana Co OH in 1950. Laura died in 1989 at Cleveland OH. She was described by her daughter Carolyn :
"My mother was brilliant mentally and misunderstood by the world she was living in. We tend to label "gifted" people as abnormal, unfortunately. In a time when women were chattels, it must have been terrible to be a gifted woman … My mother lived a long life and functioned quite well after she left our home -- when we were children. She had to leave to save herself."

1.2.2.3.1  Carolyn Wilcox (1925…) m. Wayne Eldon Hostetler (1927…1999)

Carolyn Wilcox, born 1925 grew up with a love of and talent for music, a talent unappreciated by others in her childhood:
"… A musician was of little use in a poorly educated "village" of farmers and labouring people (This was during the Great Depression. People were desperately poor). My talent was a definite nuisance and quite possibly that is the reason I became convinced I had no abilities. (Hence my joy in learning in my old age … my commitment to the piano.)"

Carolyn married Wayne Eldon Hostetler in 1945 at Elkhart IN. Wayne, born at Elkhart in 1927 to PERRY SAMUEL HOSTETLER and HELEN AUDREY GABLE, is one of hundreds of descendants from Jacob Hochstetler. Wayne's ancestors were Amish; the biggest Amish settlement in the world is in Wayne and ?Holmes Counties OH. Wayne moved from Elkhart to Wooster OH. Carolyn and Wayne had four sons (each married). Carolyn (?and Wayne) made a short visit to Somerset in 1989, staying with Matthew (Max) Dunscombe and visiting Betty Grabham née Crockford.

Wayne died in 1999, the following obituary appearing in the Wooster Daily Record:
