Looking for information on Prairieville, Indiana, described as 5 miles west of Manson and
east of Clarks Hill where Tippecanoe CR 1200 (Clinton Co Rd 300) crosses US 52. People
living there in the 1850s carried the surnames Loveless and Milligan. In the 1850s, it was
apparently a stagecoach stop with an Inn that would put up 15 people, the driver, and the
horses for the night. The Inn was said to have stood on the farm later owned by J. M.
Zion. The closest to this I could come in the census was J. W. Zahn. Sources: Wikipedia,
"1949 Clarks Hill Centennial" booklet as quoted on a now unavailable site
related to the Samuel and Margaret (Kilgore) Milligan family, findagrave site for
Sylvester C. Loveless, and 1850 census, and several bios from the 1913 history of Clinton
County.
