He moved to Morgan County, Ind, about 1820, three years before Indianapolis was laid out. He was compelled to do his milling at Terre Haute and Bloomington. He became a resident of Wabash County, Ind, in 1841, and died there in 1852. Previously to his residence in Wabash County he had resided two years in Springfield, Mo, which was then a village of about 400 inhabitants. The mother died in Indiana in 1860. They were the parents of ten children, only three of whom are living: Warren, Mary (Mrs Bobbitt) and Jane (Mrs Jones, a widow).

In the old forting days of Kentucky, when that wilderness Indian-haunted land was first being settled by the followers of Daniel Boone, the elder Samuel Haycraft, ancestor of all the Pike county Vertrees, established a home in the beautiful Severns Valley in what is now Hardin county, Kentucky, near the site of present Elizabethtown. Neighboring settlers in those old Indian days were the families of the elder Hinson Hobbs, the elder Jacob Van Meter and the elder John (Captain John) Vertrees. Around these four pioneer families centered the thrilling history of the Severns Valley for a great many years, beginning in 1779. For common defense against the Indians, these four grand old pioneers, whose original land entries cornered near present Elizabethtown, on a hill above a mighty spring, built at the four corners a rude fortification known as Haycraft's Fort. Within this enclosure the four families, later joined by others, lived in the early years of the valley settlements. & Jacob Sneed Vertrees, who built the first house on the site of present Perry (known in early days as Booneville), was born in Elizabethtown, Hardin county, Kentucky, July 9, 1814. He was the fifth son and eighth child of John Vertrees, Jr and Nancy Haycraft. His father was away in the second war with the British when he was born. Sixteen days after his birth, 3000 Americans at noted Lundy's Lane defeated the seasoned British troops whom the great Wellington had so often led to victory. Jacob Sneed Vertrees was next in order of birth after the third John Vertrees (third in America) who fought against the famous Indian, Black Hawk, in the uprising of 1832. These Pike county Vertreeses came of a warrior race that had engaged the red men in many a bloody encounter on the early American frontiers. Their kinsmen had reddened the soil of early Kentucky with their blood. Their uncle (their father's brother), Daniel H Vertrees, had fallen in battle with the Indians, and another of their father's brothers, Charles M Vertrees, was long in captivity among the Shawnees. Their illustrious grandfather, Captain John Vertrees of the Revolution (later Judge John Vertrees of the early Kentucky courts), fought the Indians and the British in the old Virginia colony and later, in 1778, in the time of the Revolution, marched with George Rogers Clark through the western wilderness to attack the Illinois villages, a memorable campaign resulting in the capture by the Virginia "Long Knives" of Kaskaskia and old Vincennes. Jacob Sneed Vertrees's maternal grandfather, the elder Samuel Haycraft, whose history has been related, was also a soldier of the Revolution. His descendant, Mrs Mary Louise (Shoemaker) Butterfield of Griggsville, possesses the official record of his Revolutionary service, obtained by her mother, Anna Vertrees Shoemaker (daughter of Jacob Sneed), in her lifetime.
