I have the book Our Boone Families, by Sarah Ridge Rockenfield. Joicy is also in the
books History of Greene & Sullivan Cos., IN, Page 426 and Waggoner, Wagoner, Wagner
History: Page 127, which is where I first found her.
Here are some Notes I have from those sources.
"History Of Greene And Sullivan Counties, State Of Indiana, From The Earliest Time To
The Present; Together With Interesting Biographical Sketches, Reminiscences, Notes,
Etc." Chicago: Goodspeed Bros. & Co., Publishers. 1884. Greene Co., In.
Washington Twp. p. 426. Unknown Co.
JAMES H. QUILLIN, one of six surviving children in a family of thirteen, was born in
Greene County, Ind., in the year 1843, and is a son of William and Nancy (Stone) Quillin,
natives respectively of Kentucky and Indiana. He aided his parents on the home farm until
seventeen years old, and in May, 1861, enlisted in Company D, Fourteenth Indiana Volunteer
Infantry, in which he served as private until March 23, 1862, when he became disabled by a
gunshot wound through his leg. He was discharged by reason of disability, but in
September, 1863, after recovery, he re-enlisted, becoming a member of Battery C, Second
Indiana Artillery. In this he served until the war was virtually ended, but for six months
after its close was detained on garrison duty at Fort Morgan, in Alabama. Mr.Quillin saw
much hard service during the late war, and was a participant in the battle of Winchester,
siege of the Spanish Fort, and the capture of Mobile. He was wedded to Miss J. Waggoner,
in 1868, who d!
ied in June, 1873,leaving four children--Samuel, Rachel, Nancy and Noah V. In 1875, he
married his present wife, and they are among the first families of Washington Township.
For the past two and one half years, Mr. Quillin has conducted a successful drug trade at
Lyons. His stock is carefully selected, and in value amounts to about $2,000. He is a
member of the I.O. O. F., and in politics a Democrat from principle, the remainder of his
family being Republicans."
Thank You
