Notes:

[R16.4]

married in Randolph Co NC

He was a farmer.

A descendant of John says that when he and Lydia arrived in IN they found a lot of sickness (probably malaria), and lost several children. That is why there is such a big gap between James and Zimri.

--
They moved to IN about 1831. They lived in Union Co for about 2 years, then moved to Rush Co.
