Biography

"Solomon, Orin's father, moved to Clarion County, Pennsylvania, when Orin was nine years old. Orin grew up there, then moved to McHenry County, Illinois.

Fanny Maranda Norton was born July 7, 1827, in Hunts Hollow, Allegheny County, New York, the fifth child of Erastus and Fanny Woodruff Norton. The family traveled by steamboat through Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Lake Michigan to Chicago and then by wagon 40 miles to McHenry County, Illinois, when Fanny was a young girl. She taught school for a while, then married Orin Terwilliger May 17, 1853.

Orin and Fanny lived in Illinois ten years and had four boys. Then they moved to Iowa. They didn't stay long as Orin heard land in Nebraska could be bought cheap. They moved there, and he bought 120 acres. He was still dissatisfied. There were families there from Missouri that had left their farms because of the war. He traded for a farm in Maries County near Vienna, 209 acres. They drove through to Missouri with mules and wagons. It took them three weeks."^[1]
