Hello, I have been researching the Pilcher families in Miami and Grant Counties, IN. I am
at the finishing part of creating a book on the subject. I have information on Henry
Pilcher born 1816, VA was living with his parents Henry Enoch and Margaret Courtney
Pilcher in Clinton Co., O until 1840 then some of the Pilcher's moved to IN. From
there some of them went to IL, IA KS etc. Joshua Pilcher b. 1783 still has descendents
living in Grant County.The families still living in your area are descendents of
Enoch Pilcher b. 1789, Joshua b. 1783, James b. 1781. They were brothers to Henry Enoch
Pilcher b. 1793 and all were b. in MD. Henry b. 1816 son of Henry Enoch was killed in a
lumber mill accident after 1870. Henry was in the 1870 census of Miami Co., he was a
blacksmith, his second wife was Eleanor Miller daughter of Richard Miller who operated a
store in the area . Any one having any information on the lumber mill accident or the
daughters of Henry and Eleanor, Lizzie b. 1857 and Olive M. b. abt 1869 please contact me.
Thank you Carol L. Pilcher at clpilcher(a)mchsi.com
