On March 30, 1830, he arrived in Liberty Township, having entered 160 acres of land, the same on which his son George now resides, after paying for which, and for his supper and bed, he had not enough left to purchase a breakfast for himself in the town. At the date of his settlement all the grain had to be carried 14 miles to mill. The heavy labor of clearing proved very severe on him, so that he removed to Shawnee Prairie for some time, but finding it unhealthy, returned to the original settlement, where he continued to reside until his death, which occurred November 20, 1876, after a long life of usefulness. His family consisted of Lydia Ann (now Mrs. Maddon), Jacob, William (deceased), Margaret (deceased), Mary Jane, Keziah, James H. (who died in the army, and was buried in TN), George E. and Thomas W. George was born March 22, 1848, and married here, March 25, 1869, Miss Lydia A. Wilkey, daughter of William and Mary Wilkey, who came to the county at an early date. He has a family of 3 children: Horace Elmer; James Burton and Jennie May. He is a republican in politics, and owns the original homestead of 160 acres of splendid land. Thomas was born March 19, 1851 and has been engaged in agricultural pursuits all his life, receiving his education at the district school. He married Miss Rachel McCay, a daughter of John McCay, one of the early settlers in the township, on June 12, 1873, and has one child, a boy, John Scott. He owns a farm of 156 acres, well improved and with good farm buildings, and is a member of the Republican Party. Excerpted from: The 1880 History of Parke County, Indiana. J. H. Beadle. Chicago: H.
