William Utterback, Boston Store, was born November 5, 1817, in Culpepper County, Virginia, and is a son of Thomson and Elizabeth (Von) Utterback, both natives of Virginia. The Utterbacks are of German descent, while the Vons are of Scotch extraction. William Utterback's parents moved to Kentucky in 1818, and in 1828 they emigrated to Montgomery County, Indiana, bringing eight children: Harmon, James, Martha, William, Vincent, Elizabeth, Mary, and Henry; leaving Virinda in Kentucky. Their son Jackson was born after their settlement here. They settled near what is Wesley chapel, in Wayne township, where they took a lease for two years, then moved to northern part of Wayne township, where she died in 1847. He sold and went to Iowa, where he died in May 1862. Both were members of the New Light Church many years. William was married April 3, 1844, to Keziah Walton, daughter of John and Susan Walton, of Montgomery County. She was born in Ohio, November 5, 1826. They settled first in Wayne township, where Mr. Utterback bought fifty-three acres of land. That he sold, and bought eighty acres where he now lives, and now owns 157 acres. He received but $100 from his father's estate. The rest he has toiled for. Mr. Utterback is a strong democrat, a Mason, and a prominent member of the New Light Church.
