The family suffered much from the depredations of hostile Indians. The oldest son, Aden was shot through the arm, but recovered, married, reared a family and subsequently became a pioneer in Indiana. Micajah was saved by his father from the savages by being secreted the whole of one frosty night in the woods. Subsequently the family lived some time in North Carolina and in Tennessee. Micajah was marred April 4th 1793, at Lost Creek meeting in Jefferson county, Tennessee, to Charity Ellis, who was born at Martinsburg VA, October 4th, 1773, daughter of Nehemiah and Sarah Ellis. He emigrated with his young family to Clinton county, Ohio, in the spring of 1806, and bought 300 acres of heavily timbered land on which the town of New Vienna was afterwards located. The family experienced all the privation and hardships incident to clearing a farm in the dense forest where neighbors were few and the comforts of life not easily obtained. The parents of Charity and of Micajah also spent the closing years of their lives in Clinton county and were buried in the graveyard located on land which Micajah had given to the Society of Friends for the purpose of a cemetery. Eight sons and four daughters were born to Micajah and Charity Nordyke, all of whom reached maturity, married and raised families. Samuel, David, Ase, and Lewis are still living, in this year of grace 1894, but most of them have gone to their reward. "
