Biography

From the 1820s when the sons of Isaiah, Joshua and Daniel, brought their families from Indiana through the 1840s, Michael brought his family from KY, evidently bypassing Indiana, Andrew arrived from Noble/Morgan Co OH and another Daniel and wife Sarah arrived from the Athens Co OH area. All settled within a few miles of one another, around the corner where the Illinois counties of Fulton, Schuyler and McDonough come together. Isaiah and Michael are presumed brothers, and probably a brother of Daniel of Adams Co OH, but the connections of the group as a whole are unknown, but highly suspected.
