Notes
a. Note:   He made three trips by flatboat to New Orleans and returned on foot to Ohio via the Natchez Trace. After he married Susannah, the newlyweds moved by ox cart to Union Twonship, Rush County Indiana. The built a crude cabin and started clearing the trees for farming; by the next spring there were ten acres free for planting.
  " The Bear Story" Once when her husband went off from the new cabin in Rush County Indiana Susannah was left alone in the cabin. They had no door; only a quilt tacked over the opening. Something moaned and pushed its head into the quilt in the doorway. Completey terrified, she grabbed the poker from the fireplace and hit the head area as hard as she could. It disapppeared from the doorway, but Susannah was too scared to look outside. When her husband returned, he was startled to discover a dead bear in front of his cabin. They skinned the animal and the hide made a nice rug in front of their fireplace.
  John and Susannah continued to clear their land, until at John's death in 1850, they had about 600 acres.
  He is listed as an early Rush County Indiana landowner in Book "B", page 90 of their records, as of October 13, 1821.
