CAUBLE FAMILY
Among those old pioneers who braved the perils and privations 
of frontier life in Washington County, and who felled the forests 
and laid the foundation for the inestimable blessings which 
the present generation now enjoy, was Adam Cauble.  This old
pioneer came from the far East to Washington Township, Washington
Co., Ind., when it was yet in its infancy.  He was born in North
Carolina, March 14, 1798; married Mary (sometimes called " Polly ")
Hubbard, who was born in the Old Dominion December 1, 1803, and both
he and his wife lived to advanced ages and were looked upon as among
the best citizens Washington County ever know.  Fifteen children were
born to their union, and are as follows: George W., born June 28,
1823; James M., April 29, 1825; Sarah J., August 20, 1826;
Alexander, December 5, 1827; Adam W., January 17, 1829; John, October

One son, George W., born June 20,1857, is the result of their union.

good land.  In politics he is a Republican.  January 5,1854, he

1866; Alexander G., January 24, 1869, and Emery E., December 1, 1872.
 Adam W. Cauble was raised on the old home farm, and farming has
always been his occupation.  With him industry has brought its
legitimate fruit, success, and he owns 285 acres of land.  In 1855 he
married Sarah E. King, who was born in Washington County, Ind., March
6, 1837, and by her is the father of this family: Elwood G., born

farmer by occupation, and a self -made man.  He began life's battle
a poor boy, and by hard work has secured a valuable farm of 150
acres. Miss Nancy Gee, who was born in this county, October 10,
1837, a daughter of Isaiah and Mary A. (Collier) Gee, became his wife
January 28, 1858, and nine children have been born to them, named:

the present generation of Caubles have retained the reputation for
honesty and intelligence justly earned by their forefathers.
