I am not for sure why but my quess would be that Clinton Co., IN just became
a county in 1830, land was available and it is good farm land.
I research George Wilson family who came to Clinton Co., IN from Butler Co.,
OH in 1833 with daughter Mary Wilson (Wm) Painter, son George Mitchell
Wilson who married Lucinda Kent, daughter Catharine Wilson and husband
Abraham Brant joined them in 1835/36, William Wilson and Samuel Wilson.

Subject: CLINTON: Migration from Butler County, OH
It seems that many of our Clinton County, IN ancestors came from
Butler
County, OH in the late 1830's. Does anyone know if there was a specific
reason for this, and, if so, what it was? What was the particular
attraction of Clinton County?
