I am interested in the names Rose. Wm. Rose pg 618, Uriah Rose, pg.

Mary S. Rose, pg. 861.
Also, I know this is a BIG request, but I need any information on the
BLINNS.
Wm. Rose is included in a biography of Augustus F. Clark, Uriah and Mary are
included in a biography of Henry L. Smith.Blinn's are mentioned in a
biography of William R. Hines, and Charles P. Pence. Those biographies have
been transcribed and are online at:

There are Blinns also located in a biography of Simeon S. Engle which I have
transcribed below:
SIMEON S. ENGLE, an energetic farmer and stock raiser of Washington
township, Clinton county, Ind., is a native of Hocking county, Ohio, and is a
son of William and Sarah (Vogt) Engle, the former of whom was born in
Pennsylvania and the latter in the Buckeye state, and both of German descent.
Simeon S. was born January 21, 1846, his father June 19, 1814, and John
Engle, the father of William, in 1783. In 1818, William Engle was taken to
Ohio, where his father. John Engle, bought 160 acres of land, and there died
in 1830, but his widow survived until 1873. The children born to John Engle
were William, Rachel, Barnhart, Elizabeth, Margaret, Leah, Hannah, Fannie,
Salome, Phebe and an infant, of
whom three are now living: William, Rachel and Barnhart. William Engle was
married October 26, 1835, to Miss Vogt, who was born in February, 1809, and
became the mother of the following children: Esther, John, Elizabeth, Mary
(deceased). Simeon S., Israel W., Louisa, and an infant that died unnamed.
The mother of this family died March 27, 1874. but, as stated above, the
father is still living.
Simeon S. Engle was reared on his father's farm in Ohio, but at the age of
eighteen learned the trade of the harness-maker. In 1867 he came to Indiana
and located in Elkhart county, at Locke, where he carried on a harness shop
for some time, and then moved to Kosciusko county arid bought 110 acres of
land, on which he lived until 1882, when be sold and bought a farm near
Marion, in Grant county, on which he lived until 1888, when he again sold his
property and came to Washington township, Clinton county and bought his
present farm of 160 acres, on which he settled in 1888. August 8, 1867. Mr.
Engle married Miss Susan Davis, daughter of Daniel and Nancy (Kimball) Davis,
and to this congenial union four children have been born and named in the
following order: William H., October 8, 1868; John E., March 8, 1871; Ida,
January 12, 1874 (now the wife of Thomas Blinn), and Florence, July 2, 1876,
now the wife of Frank Blinn; Ida and Florence married brothers. Mrs. Engle
is a devoted member of the U. B. church and is most attentive to her church
duties. Mr. Engle takes great interest in agricultural matters generally.
His politics are emphatically democratic. While in Kosciusko county he was
township assessor and township trustee. several terms. During his residence
in Grant county he was an extensive breeder of fine Poland China swine and
Short Horn cattle, and in this vocation made a most enviable reputation.
