The following summer they came to Jay County, Indiana and settled near their present home, on section 29 Pike Township. Winter found them well sheltered in a hewed log house, and in the spring of 1840 they had five acres cleared and ready for planting. By persevering industry and strict economy they have succeeded well in life, and now own a fine farm property of 140 acres in the south part of the same section, their present residence, the land being cleared and very productive.
