Battey & Co., Chicago, IL. Madison Township... JOHN W. BALSER was born in Butler County, Ohio, September 17, 1814, and is the eldest of sixteen children of Jacob and Polly Balser, the former a native of Virginia, and the latter of Tennessee. John W. labored as a farmer until 1830, when he removed with his father to Rush County, IN, where they entered 160 acres, and erected a rude cabin. The family made all their clothing, even shoes, from the raw flax and hides. Jacob Balser was an influential Democrat, and died in August, 1844. Both he and wife were members of the Christian Church. John W. Balser, when twenty-one years old, began life for himself, and was married, January 16, 1837, to Miss Sidney McDonnel, of Rush County, born in Kentucky, October 20, 1820, daughter of Enos McDonnel (NOTE: THIS MAY ACTUALLY BE ENOS McDANIEL, ALSO KNOWN AS McDONALD), by which union they had nine children, seven of whom survive -- Phebe A., George T., Benjamin S., Polly A., Emily J., Frances M. and William J. Mr. Balser began housekeeping in the crudest form, and cleared some land, which he sold in 1843, when he came to this county (Tipton County), and purchased forty acres north of New Lancaster; this took all of his money, and he began a second time without means; this land he also sold, and returned to Rush County; he came again to this county, after twelve months, where he commenced anew, erecting a weaving loom, which his wife operated in making clothing for their little family, while her husband labored on his land. In 1861, he located on his present farm of 100 acres, which he has improved generally, and to which he has added seventy-five acres of new land. Mr. Balser is a Democrat, having first voted for General Jackson in 1836; he has been Road Supervisor a number of terms. Contributor: H. Bundy (46837514)
