Chris, Do you have any of the following names in your name book yet?
White Brady Cloud Britton Coyner Cooley Lane Clark. Most of my familt on my
mother's side of the family seem to have been in Boone Clinton and Dearborn
Counties. Most of them are of Scotch-Irish background and Presbyterians. I
have to leave for a while, but I'd like to ask you some more questions Susan

Hi Rich, I am in the middle of compiling an every name index to the
Clinton
County book. When I get that done there will probably be more. This is what
I
found so far. I hope it helps. I am cross posting this to the list so
maybe
others can benefit also.

HENRY C. JOHNSON is a prosperous farmer of Union township, Clinton county,
Ind., of which county he is a native. He was born August 12, 1853, and is
the son of Joseph S. and Sarah A (Perry) Johnson, natives of New Jersey and
of
Scotch-Irish descent. Joseph Johnson was born November 17, 1806, and
when
a
lad was brought west by his father, John Johnson, to Butler county,
Ohio.
John Johnson was a weaver and a farmer, settled in Butler county, Ohio, and
died about the year 1850. He was the father of six children, all of whom
are
now deceased, and were named John, Catherine, Ann, William, Joseph S.
and
Mary
J. The father of Henry C. Johnson learned the trade of weaving with
his
father, which trade he followed until 1838, when he came to Clinton county,
Ind., and here entered 160 acres of land, which he had increased, before
his
death, October 24, 1890, to 440 acres. The marriage of Joseph Johnson
took
place in 1836; his wife was born July 25, 1813, and died in September,
1882.
To Joseph Johnson and first wife were born the following children:
Martha,
Peter S., David, Garrett S., Francis M., Henry C., John F., all living, and
John, William and James, deceased.
Henry C. Johnson was well trained to his vocation of agriculture on his
father's farm, on which he resided until October 10, 1875, when he married
Miss Martha McAdams, who bore him five children, of whom two are living,
viz:
Leroy B., born September 6, 1879; and Earley 0., born February 25,
1882.
Those deceased were named Ida, Daisy and Arett. Mr. Johnson took for his
second helpmate, March 15, 1894, Anna Cadle, daughter of James and Francis
(Avery) Cadle. James Cadle was born in Mercer county, Va. (now West
Virginia), March 4, 1822, and was a son of Nathan and Sarah (Neddons)
Cadle.
He married Miss Francis Avery October 10, 1865. This lady is a
daughter of
Andrew and Martha (West) Avery, natives of North Carolina, and was born May
17, 1869. Mr. Johnson is now well located on his farm of seventy acres,
enjoys the esteem of all his neighbors, and with his present bright
prospects
before him has much to hope from the future. In politics he is a
stanch
democrat.

J0HNSON & KERRICK .~ Prominent among the successful business men of
Frankfort
are Messrs. Johnson & Kerrick, proprietors of a large livery barn
and sale
stable on the corner of Columbia and Washington streets, their place being
one
of the largest and most extensively patronized of the kind in the
city.
They
do a business second to that of no other livery firm in the county,
keep on
hand constantly most excellent stock, and in addition to their general
livery
business, buy and sell horses, in which their success has been of a
most
gratifying na-ture. Their building is well equipped in all its
departments,
and their aim has ever been to please the public, and how well they
have
succeeded is sufficiently attested by the large and constantly increasing
patronage which they now enjoy.
W. F. Johnson was born in Edgar county, Ill., May 31, 1859, the son of W.
F.
and Mar-garet (Mays) Johnson, natives respectively of Illinois and
Ohio.
The
father died when the subject of this sketch was scarcely more than a
year
old,
and the widowed mother, with her son and two daughters, continued to
reside
on
the home farm in Illinois until the subject had reached the age of
nineteen
years, when the family moved to Rush county, Ind., where the mother still
resides. W. F. Johnson was reared to agricultural pursuits, educated in
the
public schools and began life for himself as a tiller of the soil in
Rush
county, where he lived until his removal to Frankfort on the fifteenth of
July, 1893. On coming to this city Mr. Johnson purchased an interest in
the
Porter Bros. livery stable, and: later, became sole proprietor of the
business, continuing the
same until January of the following year, when his brother-in-law, L. H.
Kerrick, became his partner under the firm name of Johnson & Kerrick. In
1887
Mr. Johnson was united in marriage to Miss Luna Kerrick of Decatur
county,
Ind. Mr. Johnson has fully demons-trated his abilities as an active and
successful business man, and he enjoys a full measure of the confidence and
esteem of the public. He is a member of the Masonic order and in every
respect a most reputable and praiseworthy gentleman.
L. H. Kerrick, junior member of the firm of Johnson & Kerrick, is an
Indianian
by birth and a native of the county of Decatur. He was born October
26,
1874,
the son of Nimrod and Sarah Ann (Humphrey) Kerrick, highly
respectable
citizens of Decatur county, and grew to manhood amid the active scenes of
farm
life. Mr. Kerrick remained with his father, who is one of the most
extensive
and successful farmers of the county of Decatur, until 1894, in
January of
which year he came to Frankfort, and, as already stated, purchased an
interest
in the livery business with which he is now identified. He is well
qualified
to conduct the business to which his attention is now being devoted,
and
since
becoming a resident of Frankfort has won a conspicuous place in the
estimation
of its citizens.
