  • Notes 
    • It appears that George the patriarch immigrated from Pennsylvania to Ohio and then between 1848 - 1850 they immigrated as a family to Indiana. Daniel was born in 1848 in Ohio. That must of been a tough ride with a baby in the family.
      In the 1860 Census, George is listed as being born in 1803. In the 1870 Census, George is listed as being born in 1802.
