About 1815, John & Mary Mumma joined her family, the Foxes, plus some other neighbors and migrated to Belmont County, Ohio. It was here that they raised their family. In 1817, John was accidentally killed by a tree falling on him. He is buried in the Salem Church Yard Cemetery, Sewellsville, OH.

After his death, Mary sold the 320 A. farm near St. Clairsville.

There is an interesting family jingle that was created to remember their names. It goes like this.

Joe, Jack and Mary Ann,
Hen, Dan and Roseann

One of John's sons, Henry Mumma, migrated to Dayton Ohio around 1860 and worked for his uncle, George Ruben Mumma, who was successful market farmer.

The oldest daughter migrated to Newcomerstown, Ohio, while John Jr. moved to Tuscarawas Co., Ohio and the Rock River region near Moline Illinois. Some even moved on to Friend, Nebraska.

1810 Maryland Census, Washington County, Sharpsburg 100 enumeration dist. pages 504 & 506
There were only 56 households enumerated in this district. Jacob Muma [210] heads this enumeration list. Then 43 entries later, his nephew, John Muma [2181] appears followed 4 entries later by his brother, Henry Muma [2184], next to his mother, Juliana Muma [wife of 218] and next to her is her daughter and husband, Peter & Barbara Muma [2186] Warble. Also, John Fox, John Mumma's father-in-law is living two households from him.

The following description of the burial place of John Mumm is from a 1960 letter written by Edna P. Mumma to Frank A. Ward.

"Coming west from Morristonw, Belmont Co., Ohio to the John Isaal corner a short distance wes from Lady's bend on Nation Road - turn to the right at John Isaal corner and go about a half mile (I am guessing at this distance) to a farm where there is a small cemetery. It is called - or was - the Goodwin Farm. It is the 320 A that Mary Fox Mumm sold to her brother John Fox (after the death of her husband, John Mumma) for $300.01. $300 for the 160 acres where the log buildings were and $.01 for the 160 acres without buildings."

Son of Henry Mumma and Juliana Heckman, and Husband of Mary Fox Mumma.
