George is listed as foreman in a metal works in the 1930 federal census in Mansfield, OH. George is son of Elizabeth Ann Seaholse and Henry Bistline (b. ca. 1831, a carpenter in the 1880 census) who came to Richland Co., OH from Perry Co., PA. The LDS Church's unverified Ancestral File (1689-2KC) lists a Henry Bistline, b. 16 Dec 1832 (probably in Perry Co., PA), d. 1862, son of Henry Bistline (b. 19 Feb 1802, d. 22 Dec 1841) and wife Elizabeth _____; Henry (1802-1841) is shown as son of George Bistline (b. 4 Oct 1766 in Berks Co., PA, d. 2 Nov 1839 in Blain, Perry Co., PA) and Margaretha Robinson (b. 6 Nov 1766 in Berks Co., d. 16 May 1842 in Blain); George (1766-1839) is shown as son of Andreas Beuschlein (b. 27 April 1724 in Dietenhan, Mosbach, Baden, Germany, d. 1783) and Margaritha Catherina Hoerner - and the ancestors of Andreas and Margaritha are shown. Jim Bistline's family tree, typed and spiral bound, is in the Harry W. Lenig Library of The Perry Historians (P. O. Bo 73, Newport, P 17074-0073) and traces many of the family from the first to arrive in America.
"News-Journal [Mansfield, Ohio], 1 February 1943," p. 2: "George W. Bistline, 75, of 187 Buckingham street, died Sunday night at Mansfield General hospital shortly after his admission. He had been ill two weeks. Born in Shelby, Feb. 23. 1867, he was for 33 years foreman for the C. D. Appleman company here. Surviving are his widow, Lucilia. a son, Carl V. Bistline, and a daughter, Mrs. Lial Ish, residing in this city. Mr. Bistline was a member of the Mayflower Congregational church and the Junior Order of United American Mechanics."

This line is as given by his great-granddaugter, Ann Scruggs, 29 July 1981. His will is dated 11 Nov 1892 and dedicates "The Acre" for a family cemetery. William was a member and deacon of Ebenezer Baptist Church near Aucilla, FL. He and his wives are buried in unmarked graves on Ridgecrest Farms between Aucilla and Drifton. He moved to Jefferson Co., FL in 1830 and was a charter member of First Baptist Church in Monticello (1841) before associating with Ebenezer Church. 14 Feb 2000 on www.rootsweb.com in the Jefferson Co., FL message board James Scruggs (greatgrandson) offers: "The first record of Wm Hudsons presence in Jefferson County, Florida was a land purchase in February 1838 on behalf of, and as Trustee of his younger sister, Ann Abigail Chase. Settling on land previously purchased from his in-laws, the family continued to grow with the birth of Thomas, their firstborn in Florida and also the first to die here. It is believed that Thomas was the first to be buried in what Wm Hudson would designate as 'the Scruggs family and neighborhood burying ground', a one acre plot located on a hill off CR158 near the center of over 2000 acres that Wm Hudson would amass in his lifetime. He subsequently provided for access and continued usage of the plot into perpetuity through his will and deed restriction. Wm Hudson was active in county and church affairs, building a neighborhood 'field school' on his property, donating land to the Pensacola and Georgia RR to enable completion of the Pensacola-Jacksonville route, and serving as Trustee of the Monticello Baptist Church. He voted in Floridas First Statehood Election in 1845. He built a two story double-pen log house for his still growing family which would serve his heirs into the 20th Century. It appears that this structure served him well with most family activities centered there for the last 40-50 years of his life, whereby in the 1870-82 timeframe it is calculated that upwards of 20 grandchildren, plus his own two young children,lived along a 3 mile stretch of the country road between Aucilla and Drifton! In 1857, he and Rebecca moved their letters from Monticello Baptist to Ebenezer where the Reverend William B. Cooper had become Pastor in 1852. In 1862, Wm Hudson became Ebenezers Church Clerk, serving in that capacity plus sometimes Moderator and Delegate to Florida Baptist Association meetings, until 1871 when relieved by a son Solomon M. The breakout of hostilities with the north in 1861 found his three sons foregoing farming operations and joining the CSA in 1862; Richard to the Cavalry, and William H. M. and Solomon M. to the Infantry. The war years were not kind, his beloved wife Rebecca dying at home in February 1863 and his son William H.M. dying in the General Hospital, Lake City, Florida in April 1864. Rebecca was buried in the Scruggs Family Cemetery; William H. M. was buried in an unmarked grave in Lake City, having left behind a widow with four young children. Following cessation of hostilities, it appears that there was an attempt at normalcy with the return of his surviving sons to the farm operation. However, disaster would strike again in April 1866 with the death of his youngest daughter Rebecca M. who also left behind four small children. He began deeding 200 acre parcels of his large acreage over to his surviving children, Richard and Margaret A. in 1867 and Solomon M. in 1868. On December 22, 1868, Wm Hudson took as his second wife, Elizabeth Isabelle Cooper, born June 19, 1828 in Abbeville District, South Carolina, daughter of Joseph Cooper (1777-1842) and Sarah Ann Franklin (1788-1874), and a sister of the Reverend Wm B. Cooper. Son Richard would knit the two families even closer in May 1869 with his marriage to Margaretta Frances, a daughter of Reverend Cooper. Advanced ages notwithstanding, Wm Hudson and Elizabeth Isabelle began a family, becoming the parents of two children: (1) Joseph Cooper: b. 3/25/1871, Jefferson Co., FL, d. 9/12/1912, Jefferson Co., FL; m. 1) Clifford Delilah Bishop, 12/27/1892, Jefferson Co., FL, b. 12/25/1872, Jefferson Co., FL, d. 5/25/1901, Jefferson Co., FL, dau. of George Martin Bishop (1817-1901) and Clifford Delilah Walker (1828-1901); m. 2) Manie Capers Stewart, 3/12/1905, Jefferson Co., FL, b. 6/27/1884, Apalachicola, FL, d. 6/28/1964, Jefferson Co., FL, dau. of George Stewart and Annie Clementine Henry. (2) Elizabeth Isabelle: b. 4/30/1872, Jefferson Co., FL , d. 2/2/1949, Jefferson Co., FL; m. William Arthur Platt, 5/24/1898, Jacksonville, Duval Co., FL, b. 10/15/1855, Liverpool, England, d. 4/26/1956, Jefferson Co., FL, son of Thomas Cartrell Platt and Catherine Jones. In the late 70s the Wm Hudson clan began to thin out with Solomon M., having lost his wife and three of five children, selling his landshare and removing to Jacksonville; and in 1882 Richard doing likewise, removing his family to Boston, Thomas County, Georgia. At this point, Wm Hudson, with a young family and in his twilight years, began to put his final affairs in order, deeding considerable acreage to his wife, followed by his will which apportioned his holdings so as to consider that already deeded out, plus like shares to the children of his deceased son and daughter, Wm H. M. and Rebecca M. Just months before his death in 1889 his last Deed of Land was the site of the old field school to the Jefferson County School Board. Wm Hudson died October 30, 1889 and was buried in the Scruggs Family Cemetery alongside his first wife Rebecca M. Elizabeth Isabelle died March 1, 1891 and was buried on the other side of Rebecca M. The Scruggs name would endure in the Jefferson County area into the 1980s and many descendants of Wm Hudson and his two wives, though with different surnames, reside there today. [Sources: Wm H. Scruggs Family Bible-1857 Edition, in possession of Wm M. Scruggs, Jr, Gainesville, FL; Will of Wm H. Scruggs, dtd November 11, 1882; Will of Richard Scruggs, dtd July 17, 1832; Abstract of Early Membership and Minutes of Ebenezer Baptist Church published in Keystone Kin, Vols III-2 thru V-3 by Keystone Genealogical Society, Jefferson County, Florida; Jefferson County, Florida Land Deeds; 1830-1920 Federal Florida Censuses; 1885 Florida State Census; Scruggs Family research notes of Wm Martin Scruggs, Sr (deceased); Wm H.

William H. Scruggs is age 41, b. in GA, in the 1850 federal census in Jefferson Co., FL, and he is on the list of voters in the first state-wide election in Florida, 26 May 1845, when he voted at the Court House in Monticello.
Dee Counts, Volunteer, Keystone Genealogical Library, Monticello, FL wrote 3 March 2021:
"On February 2, 1836 a deed was executed from Solomon E. Mathers to William H. Scruggs conveying the East Half of the Southwest Quarter (82 acres), & Half of the West Half of the Southeast Quarter (41 acres), all in Section 10, Township 1 North, Range 5 East, Jefferson County, FL. This deed was recorded August 10, 1836 in Deed Book B, page 300, Public Records of Jefferson County, Florida.
Also on February 2, 1836 a deed was executed from W. H. Mathers, as Executor of the Estate of Solomon E. Mathers, to Wm. H. Scruggs conveying the Southwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter (41 acres), Section 10, Township 1 North, Range 5 East, Jefferson County, FL. This deed was also recorded August 10, 1836 in Deed Book B, page 302, Public Records of Jefferson County, Florida.
Copies of both of these deeds are available for a small cost through the Office of the Clerk of Court of Jefferson County, Florida. It is interesting to note that at the time of the execution of these deeds (February 2, 1836), Scruggs' place of residence is shown as Scriven County, Georgia.
Our records reflect that William Hudson Scruggs did vote in the 1845 Florida Election at Precinct 1, Monticello Courthouse. One of the requirements for voting in this election was that the individual had to have been a resident of Jefferson County, FL for at least six (6) months prior to the election."
Another (?) William H. Scruggs was confirmed to be the U. S. Consul at Panama by the U. S. Senate according to the report in the "Philadelphia Inquirer" 14 March 1882.
