They first located in what is now known as Union Township, Union County, where they remained six years, when they settled in Monroe Township, Madison County, where his father died in 1827. His mother survived her husband about ten years, she having died in 1837. They were the parents of seven children, of whom three are now living — William, James and Jane. In March, 1828, our subject married Miss Adelaide Fullington. To them have been born nine children, six of whom are now living — Edwin A., born November 17, 1829; Henry C., born October 28, 1832; Mary J., born July 13, 1835, and died May 26, 1880; William H., born May 2, 1838; Lewis F., born April 3, 1841, and died November 14, 1843; Charles W., born November 8, 1843; Rebecca A., born January 13, 1847, and died February 28, 1877; Clara A., born August 14, 1850, and Walter F., born August 19, 1854.
