A biographical sketch of James Padgett, in the History of Sullivan County, Indiana
by Wolfe, Vol. I & II, 1909, Pg. 123, reads in part:
James H. Padgett, born 3 Jan 1848, in this township, a son of the late Theophilus
Padgett. His grandfather Padgett was one of the earliest settlers of Haddon township,
coming here in the very early period of its settlement, at the time of his arrival
there being but two houses between Carlisle and Pleasantville. ... Born in
Kentucky, Theoplhilus Padgett was but six years old when he came with his parents
to Sullivan county. Brought up on a farm, he continued in the occupation to which
he was reared, and on reaching man's estate entered government land in Haddon
Township, and at once began the pioneer work of clearing and improving a homestead.
... goes on to say that Theophilus was twice married, his first wife, whose maiden
name was Susie Hinkle, died in early womanhood, leaving two children, namely:
William, of Pleasantville, and Sareldia, deceased. He married for his second
wife Permelia Bodwell, who was born in Jefferson township, Indiana.
