family information sent to Florence Myers shows "Mr. and Mrs. Elisha

the brother of Margaret Driskell-Myers, wife of Michael David Myers,
grandfather of Michael Benton Myers, Cora’s husband. In a story related by her granddaughter Florence, it was said Cora cried on her 16th birthday as she held her first baby, Clova; born 3 days earlier. Florence remembered many good times visiting her grandparents on the family farm in Salem, Indiana. She specially remembered the country cooking and the big Sunday dinners after church where everyone sat down to eat together. When the last person finished, the tablecloth was folded over the remaining food so those that were hungry later in the day only had to lift up the tablecloth and dig in for more. Cora passed away April 6, 1965 on her granddaughter Florence's 14th wedding anniversary.

The father and mother were both natives of Germany, coming to this country about 1830. They were married in Ohio and settled in Hocking County, where three of their family of 12 were born. In 1850 they moved to Miami County settling in Washington Township. In about 1858 they moved to Clay Township where Daniel Deisch, the subject of this sketch, was raised on his fathers farm, receiving a good common school education.

Notes for Martha EVANS
Both Tomas Williams and wife Martha Evans were of Welsh descent Lived on a small farm which was not large, but ample, together with his work as a shoemaker, to rear and educate his children well. Thomas Williams had cared for an invalid aunt and at her death received her property, a house and contents on eight acres of land. Martha was a small child when this aunt died. She thought her father must have sold the property, for they lived in a stone house on a tract of about thirty acres near Bilston when he married, and were still there when she came to America in 1818.Notes for Amanda Melvina HOLLER

Ruth may have been born in
Morgan

is unsure as Ruth died
when daughter Florence was about 9 years old. Based on research she
died late month February 1940. Indiana State Library Indianapolis Commercial Index - This site contains an index of deaths from the Indianapolis Commercial newspaper, a business publication containing only statistics: Ruth Myers, Age 40 Date of Newspaper: 2-26-1940 Cause of death: cardio vascular disease Place of death: City Hospital 1900
US Census Madison Township, Morgan County, Indiana lists Ruth age 8
months along with father John and mother Ella living in the household
of Zara McRoberts, John's aunt. Florence told stories of her mother Ruth being strict and not one to “spare the rod” when necessary. Ruth ironed the family clothes with a cast iron flatiron heated on a potbelly stove, which also served to heat the home. Florence remembered her mother being sick a lot, probably due to hypertension, the cause of Ruth’s death. |

Cabarrus County court records from 20 Apr 1795 states that Elizabeth Lingle, age 9, orphan of Conrad Lingle, bound George Christman until she is 18.There is a discrepancy as to whether Elizabeth's father is Casper or Conrad but from what I have come to find through several sources on the internet Casper was more than likely her father.

village of Mexico. There he passed the residue of his life and died.
His widow survived him for many years, passing, away at the age of

CatherineSmith, the former a native of Kentucky and the latter of North
Carolina. Thomas Smith and family came to Miami county, Indiana, in
1830 and settled on land a short distance south of Mexico, where he
lived a few years, and whence he removed to Chili, same county. At the
latter place he made permanent settlement, passing to the spiritual
world there February 28, 1865, at theage of sixty-five years; the wife
and mother following her husband a few days later, her death occurring

Notes for Jacob VOYLES
Jacob and his four sons came from Denbighshire., Wales to Charleston, South Carolina about 1759. Jacob was very poor and went in debt for their passage to America, so he hired William age 14 out as a deckhand for four years to pay off this debt. It is not known where the ship sailed the four years but it is believed that it made several trips from Wales to this country. On the return trips to Wales, William would stay with his Uncle David who lived in Herefordshire. After about three years William induced his Uncle David to come to America and he settled in Old Mecklenburg County now Cabarrus south of Concord.Notes for Rolin N VOYLES
Name Meaning for "Voyles" /English, of Welsh origin: variant of Voyle, a nickname for a bald man or a topographic name for someone who lived by a treeless hill, from a lenited form of Welsh moel bald or treeless hill.Rolin, along with sister Rachel and brother David came to KY after their mother died in 1812 and after selling the farm. It took 2 months to make the trip in a Conestoga wagon. They traveled the Daniel Boone trail which was part of the Wilderness Road. They would cut down trees and fasten onto the wagon to keep from turning it over while coming down the mountains. Eventually ended up in Washington County, Indiana in 1813.
