To them were born nine children and all grew to manhood and womanhood, viz.: Elizabeth, Catherine, Rachel, Joseph, Henry, I. C., William, Ellenor and James. He died April 20, 1849, she died Aug. 7, 1840, and was the daughter of Isaac Clinton. She was born in County Armagh, Ireland. Our subject was reared on the farm and received a common school education, which he largely developed by his labors and research. He is a natural mechanic and for 15 years followed cabinet making and has followed seven different trades. As a gunsmith his reputation is known far and wide, and none can make a better or more accurate fire-arm than he. Of quick perception, he readily accomplishes all undertakings and is well posted in the arts and sciences, a knowledge he has gained entirely through his own efforts. His brother Henry was born in 1818, and was married to Ellen Simonton in 1848, by whom he has seven children, Mary E, Dewitt C., Margaret E., William, Henry D, Belle D., and Ella. He owns 120 acres of excellent land, which is comfortably improved. |
