"At the beginning of the Civil War, English was offered a military commission by Indiana Governor Oliver P. Morton, but refused it. He spent the next seventeen years in a new career, in banking. Previous to this he had had some contact with James F.D. Lanier of Madison, whose career had also moved from politics to banking. First, English began negotiations, never completed, for control of the Jeffersonville branch of the Third State Bank. Then, in 1863, with the announcement by Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase of the National banking system, he was involved, along with Lanier and John C. New, in chartering the First National Bank in Indianapolis, with a capital of $150,000. English was immediately elected president of the bank, and served until 1877. In 1865 he moved to a handsome mansion on the Governor’s Circle in Indianapolis, He became involved in extensive real estate ownership. One controversial part of his bank presidency is the degree to which he took advantage of economic conditions in the poor times of 1873-1876 to obtain more property by foreclosures. He also regained a controlling interest in the Indianapolis Street Railways Co., and served as its treasurer......

Series 4 (boxes 26–29, OMB 0002, box 1) contains correspondence and other material on the English, Hite, Bowman, Jackson, Eastin, and Scrogin families. Items include the papers of Elisha English and materials relating to his estate, 1834–92. Through his mother, English was related indirectly to George Rogers Clark and to Joseph and Isaac Bowman, two of Clark’s chief officers in the Kaskaskia–Vincennes campaign of 1778–79. The relationship goes back to Jost Hite, one of the early settlers of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. The Hite-Bowman papers largely concern the business affairs of the family, especially Jost Hite, the two Isaac Hites, Joseph and Isaac Bowman, and Jonathan Clark. There are a few references to military matters about 1780. Also contained are several visual images of the English family including Elisha English and Mahala Eastin English, primarily from the 1860s through the 1880s."

Notes

These two Nettles James and Wm G. were cousins from Charleston SC area, migrated to LA with McKneelys, and David McCants families abt 1810. John McCants, David's 1st cousin migrated to Wilcox & Monroe Cos. AL with Nettles, Lindsay, & Packer, families.

"We show James as the son of Esther. James and Elizabeth relocated to Beaumont, TX around 1840." "We do not think that James and Josiah are brothers. We think they are 1st
cousins. We think that Josiah is Esther's son. We think that James is the son of Robert Nettles, who may be the brother of Esther's late husband. The thinking about James and Josiah comes from the succession (probate) and deed records in LA." ^[S18] ^[S1938]
