John Lindsey, farmer, P. O. College Corner, Ohio, was born in Green County, Ky., July 8, 1809, where he was reared upon a farm, receiving but the rudiments of a common school education. In 1829, he had, by working by the month, saved some money, and he determined to seek a place where land was cheap. Accordingly, in that year, he came to this county, bringing a team of horses, and for some time rented land and farmed on shares. He, at a later period, purchased eighty acres of land, and has since added to it, until at one time he owned a large amount of real estate. He at present owns 160 acres, which is nicely improved. His marriage with Miss Mary Cline, daughter of John Cline, one of the first settlers of Union Township, occurred a few years after his coming to this county. By this union there were eight children, viz.: Ellen, John, Walter, Mary, Isabel, George, Missouri and Margaret. Mr. Lindsey came to this county a poor boy, but by energetic perseverance has obtained a goodly share of this world’s goods. He is a Democrat in politics, but usually votes for men and measures, and not for party.

Baltzer Lybrook, farmer. More than three-quarters of a century ago, Jacob Lybrook, father of Baltzer Lybrook, in company with a brother, John Lybrook, emigrated to the Territory of Indiana and commenced improvements on a tract of land previously entered by their father, Philip Lybrook, situated in what is now Harrison Township, this county, and known as the Widow Cooper farm. For further particulars concerning this emigration and settlement, the reader is referred to the history proper of Harrison Township. Philip Lybrook, grandfather of Baltzer Lybrook, was of German descent and was born on board of the steamer, September 23, 1857, while the parents were crossing the ocean, en route to America. Anna Miller, who subsequently became the wife of Philip Lybrook, was a native of Virginia, born October 28, 1765. This couple became the parents of a large family of children, all of whom were born in the State of Virginia, and numbered thirteen at the time of the removal of the family to what is now this county, some time during the year 1807. Jacob Lybrook, the father of our subject, was born in Franklin County, Va., July 24, 1787, and was married to Elizabeth, daughter of William Crawford, in what is now Union County, on the 24th of August, 1809. Elizabeth Crawford was born in Botetourt County, Va., April 9, 1790, being of Irish descent. Her father emigrated to the southern part of the territory now forming Union County in 1806, and here died in 1814. Thus it is seen that the ancestry of Baltzer Lybrook were, in the strictest sense, pioneers of Southeastern Indiana, to whom their posterity are, in a great degree, indebted for the beautiful fields they now possess. After Jacob Lybrook’s marriage, he removed to the now John Hart farm in Harrison Township, where he continued to reside until his death, which occurred April 14, 1869. His wife died March 28, 1874. They were both members of the German Baptist Church and led exemplary lives, and their removal from this world was mourned by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. In politics, Mr. Lybrook was identified with the old Whig party, with which he affiliated until the organization of the Republican party, when he espoused its principles. Our subject was born in this county, on the old homestead, August 9, 1822, and his sister, Maria (Lybrook) Hart, August 7, 1826, these being the only children born to Jacob and Elizabeth Lybrook. Maria is the wife of John Hart. Baltzer Lybrook was reared on his father’s farm and received a rudimentary education in the district schools of the neighborhood, and on growing to manhood adopted the vocation of farming, which has since occupied his attention. December 12, 1844, he was united in marriage with Jane, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Zolman) Cunningham, a native of Rockbridge County, Va., born January 17, 1825. Her parents, William and Elizabeth Cunningham, emigrated to Union County, Ind., when Jane was a small girl, and made a temporary stay, when they removed to Preble County, Ohio. To the union of Baltzer and Jane (Cunningham) Lybrook have been born Jacob H., Margaret A., Ann M., Leander T., Elizabeth A., Sarah E., Mary J., Laura B., Henrietta, Minnie L. and Madison, all of whom are living but four. Mr. Lybrook is somewhat reserved, and has never been an office-seeker, preferring rather the quiet life on the farm. However, he has served the people of Harrison Township as Trustee, and enjoyed their confidence in the administration of the business of that office. He voted first with the Whig party, casting his first Presidential vote for Henry Clay, and later voted with the Republican party. Both he and his wife are members of the German Baptist Church.

A Lybrook family researcher has pointed out that there is an inconsistency on the dates given for birth of subject's father and grandfather. Cannot confirm, but it appears Philip Lybrooks birth should be 1757, not 1857 as transcribed.

McDill Family, P. O. Cottage Grove. Among the old and respected pioneer families of this county, none is more deserving of especial mention that the McDills. Samuel McDill was a native of Emerald Isle, but, when a child, his parents emigrated to this country and settled in South Carolina. Here he was reared to manhood and united in marriage with Jannet Bonner, a native of the old South State. Having little or no means, and abhorring the institution of slavery, they determined to come North and find for themselves a home. In 1816, they loaded their entire earthly effects into a two-horse wagon, and, after many days of hard travel and undergoing many hardships, arrived in Union Township, this county, and located on the farm now owned by their son, John McDill. Here they afterward resided, and by hard work and economy obtained for themselves and family a comfortable home. They were consistent members of the United Presbyterian Church, and to them was born a family of two sons and eight daughters, four of whom are yet living. John McDill, one of the above children, was born January 10, 1805, in Fairfield County, S. C. He was from early boyhood accustomed to hard work, receiving but a limited education. His marriage with Miss Jannet Simpson, a native of the Empire State, occurred in 1831. The fruits of this union were four children – Samuel C., George S., Eliza A. and Sarah J. The mother of these children died in 1838, and three years later Mr. McDill was united in marriage with Miss Eliza J. McCracken, a native of Greene County, Ohio. Four children were the fruits of the second marriage – Martha J., John M., Mary C., and one that died in infancy. Mrs. Eliza J. McDill departed this life in 1852, since which, Mr. McDill has resided with his children upon the old homestead. Few men in Union County are better or more favorably known than Uncle John McDill. He is kind and indulgent to his family and friends, although very decided in his religious and political views, always favoring the right and promptly rejecting everything tainted with wrong. He has for many years been connected with the United Presbyterian church, and all his family are members of the same denomination. George S. McDill, son of John and Jannet (Simpson) McDill, was born on the old homestead in Union Township, December 13, 1833. He received a common school education and has always resided upon and near the old home place. He was united in marriage with Miss Ellen Ramsey, a native of Preble County, Ohio, November 13, 1861. By this union there was a son – Harry J. Mrs. McDill died September 16, 1865. On December 17, 1878, Mr. McDill was united in marriage with Miss Sarah Johnston, born in Preble County, Ohio, February 7, 1836. By the second marriage there were three children – Jennie L., Maggie M. and one deceased in infancy. George S. McDill has always followed farming and stock-raising. He owns 120 acres, well improved, adjoining the old homestead. John M. McDill, son of John McDill by his second wife, was born in Union Township November 16, 1846. He was reared on a farm, receiving a common school education. His marriage with Miss Carrie Richards occurred February 11, 1875. She was born in the Buckeye State November 15, 1851. Three children have been born to them, two of whom are now living – Lola M. and Emma M. Mr. McDill resides upon the old homestead, which comprises 270 acres. Few families have done more to develop Union County, than the McDills. They liberally contribute to all enterprises that tend to build up the country or benefit their fellow-man. They are members of the United Presbyterian Church, and of the Republican party. Submitted by: Jeanie

John B. Macy, Liberty, Ind., is descended from one Thomas Macy, an Englishman, who emigrated to America, and settled in Massachusetts in 1635, and was one of ten persons who purchased the Island of Nantucket. The parents of John B. were Sylvanus and Sarah (Snipes) Macy, the latter of whom was a native of Chatham County, N. C., and is yet living at the age of seventy-five years. Sylvanus, too, was a native of Guilford County, N. C., and by occupation was a blacksmith, which he followed through life in connection with farming. He was an Abolitionist, and voted with the party that most strongly opposed slavery. He belonged to the Society of Friends, and the strong hatred he bore to slavery induced him to leave the home of his youth and seek one where it was not tolerated. In company with his wife and family, in 1835, he emigrated to Union County, Ind., where he resided until 1842, when the family removed to Hancock County, this State, where the father died in 1846. Our subject was born in Guilford County, N. C., on the 7th of July, 1833, was reared to farm life, and assisting, at times, his father at the forge, and received his schooling at the district schools of Union and Hancock Counties. After the death of his father, the home was broken up, and he went to live with an uncle, Henry Davis, of this county, with whom he remained on a farm until eighteen years of age. He subsequently engaged in the manufacture of shingles on Hanna’s Creek, and on the breaking-out of the war of the rebellion he left the factory for the tented field, enlisting April 19, 1861, in company I, Fifteenth Indiana Volunteer Infantry (the first company raised in the county), sharing with it the trials and privations of over three years services. He participated in the engagements at Elkwater, Va., Pittsburg Landing or Shiloh, Tenn. (in the second day’s fight), April 7, 1862; was at the battle of Stone River December and January, 1862-63, and at Mission Ridge November 25, 1863, and at the latter received a wound in the left shoulder joint, where is still imbedded the cold lead, which rendered him unfit for further military service, and for which disability a grateful Republic has placed him on the pension rolls. He was mustered out of the service with his company, at Indianapolis, Ind., June 25, 1864. On the 5th of December, 1871, Mr. Macy was united in marriage with Phoebe Coffin, a native of Hancock County, this State, born April 28, 1846, and a daughter of Elihu and Nancy (Jessup) Coffin, both from the State of North Carolina. To the union of Mr. Macy and Miss Coffin have been born two children – Sophia and Roscoe M. The parents are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and are among the esteemed citizens of the community. Mr. Macy, in the fall of 1867, was elected County Recorder, and as such served four years. He also for a time thereafter was employed by the Government in the Second Auditor’s office, Treasury Department, at the nation’s capital; and in 1875 he was chosen by the people of the county as their Treasurer, and in that capacity served two terms of two years each. Both of these positions of trust and honor he filled with credit to himself, and to the entire satisfaction of his fellow-citizens, whose confidence he held. After the expiration of his office as Treasurer, he was for some years proprietor of the Union Planing Mill at Liberty, and in December, 1882, he received the appointment of a Justice of the Peace for Center Township, at the hands of the County Commissioners. In politics, he is a stanch Republican. During the Grant campaign of 1868, Mr. Macy met with a most unfortunate accident whereby he received, by the premature explosion of a gun, a wound in the right arm, which resulted in the loss of the arm. This occurred at Centerville, Ind.

John and Daniel Moss, farmers. Among the prominent and well-known pioneer families of that portion of the Northwest Territory now included within the boundaries of Union County, who entered it as a wilderness, and by their untiring energy hewed out for themselves a home and assisted in converting it into the beautiful fields of the present, was that of William Moss, grandfather of John and Daniel Moss. William Moss, with his family, emigrated from Franklin County, Va., in 1808, and, as is shown by the records of the United States Land Office, entered the southeast quarter of section 24, Township 12, Range 1 (Harrison Township), October 19, 1808. His wife was Mary (Lybrook) Moss, a native of Franklin County, Va. Mr. Moss was a minister of the German Baptist Church, and, like other pioneer preachers in a new country, was subjected to many hardships, his appointments being far apart, and the only mode of travel being by horseback. In connection with the ministry, he was occupied in farming. About the year 1838, he removed to Miami County, this State, and there died. Abraham Moss, a son of William and Mary (Lybrook) Moss, was born in Franklin County, Va., November 13, 1806, and was brought up on what is now the Baltzer Lybrook farm. He was united in marriage with Nancy Rife September 24, 1826, who was born October 30, 1805, the ancestry of both being of German extraction. To these parents were born the following-named sons and daughters: Jacob, Frances, John, William, Elizabeth, Daniel, Mary and Maria. Mr. Moss was for a period of about thirty years a minister in the German Baptist Church, and used his talents in directing fallen humanity to the Savior of mankind. He was a Bishop in the church. His death occurred September 9, 1860, and that of his wife August 8, 1863. Of the sons, John and Daniel Moss are residents of Harrison Township, living on adjoining farms, and are among the substantial farmers of the county, each possessing considerable well-improved land, with fine residences and buildings thereon. Both are natives of this county, and were born on the home farm, upon which Daniel now resides, John October 24, 1830 and Daniel June 17, 1837. They were reared on the farm with their father, and received such instruction in the common branches as the district schools of the period afforded. September 19, 1850, John was united in marriage with Elizabeth Jarvis, who was born in Wayne County, Ind., December 4, 1827. Her parents were Thomas and Sarah (Davenport) Jarvis, the former a native of North Carolina, born December 8, 1799, and the latter a native of Wayne County, Ind., born February 28, 1810. The Davenports were among the first settlers in Wayne County.

In politics, John Moss is a Republican. He has been for the past twenty years a member of the Masonic order, connected with Downey Lodge, No. 233, at Boston, Wayne County, this State. He was elected a Justice of the Peace of Harrison Township in the spring of 1867, and served four years. Himself and wife are members of the Hanna’s Creek Christian Church. Daniel Moss, at the age of twenty-two, was married to Elizabeth Miller, a native of Montgomery County, Ohio. After his marriage, he removed to a farm in the vicinity of the city of Dayton, Ohio, where he resided for several years; then returned to this county and purchased the farm upon which he now resides, and has given his attention to farming. One child, Belle M., was born to this union. Mrs. Moss died in the spring of 1863. Mr. Moss married for his second wife, Mary Allen, a native of this county, born in 1839, a daughter of John and Martha (Elliott) Allen, both of whom were natives of Rockbridge County, Va.; the father was born January 19, 1801, and the mother in the year 1800. They emigrated from Virginia to Ohio, settling in Darke County in 1833, and two years later removed to Union County, this State. The father died July 23, 1880; the mother is still living. Six children have been born to Daniel and Mary (Allen) Moss, two of whom died in infancy. Those now living are Cora L., Nettie M., Gertrude L. and Orville E. Daniel Moss inherited the political sentiments of his father and grandfather, casting his first Presidential vote for Abraham Lincoln, and since that time he has been identified with the Republican party.

Daniel H. Mullin, farmer, P. O. Liberty, was born in Warren County, Ohio, June 24, 1819. He is a son of James and Mary (Carter) Mullin, who removed from Virginia to Ohio in an early day, and from there to Union County, Ind., in 1829, settling on Section 1, in Harmony Township. Mr. Mullin was a tanner by trade and a hard-working, intelligent man. He served as a soldier in the war of 1812 under Gen. Harrison, and was an Old-Line Whig and strong anti-slavery man. To him and wife were born a family of eight sons and one daughter. They spent the evening of their lives upon their farm in Harmony Township, where they were well known and highly respected. Daniel H. was reared upon a farm, receiving such education as the schools of that early day afforded.

He is a thorough and skillful mechanic, a practical and successful farmer, and an honored and respected citizen. He owns 196 acres of land in Harmony Township, and a nicely improved and valuable property near Liberty. He is a Republican, and one of the generous and public-spirited men of Union County.
