Narrative
BIOGRAPHY: Farmer in Commerce, section 17 of Polk County, Iowa. From Mason county, Kentucky he moved with his parents to Parke county, Indiana, residing there until 1840, when they moved to Des Moines county, Iowa. After a residence there of about six months they moved to Jefferson county, remained there for a number of years, and then returned to, Parke county, Indiana. In June, 1857, he started for Polk county; came by wagon and was one month and four days on the road. He first settled on Walnut Creek, near the place where Mr. Clegg now resides. He now owns 524 acres of land all under cultivation, and finely improved. It is one of the best farms for raising grain to be found in the township. He married Miss H. W.
