I recently found the names of McPheron descendants on the 1860 census for Prairiton Twp,
Vigo, Indiana. I believe that both are descendants of William McPheron and Jane McAmis,
and that they had recently moved to Vigo County in 1860 from Allen County Ohio. From what
I know, both died in Indiana, yet I cannot find any record of their death there.
According to the census, the wife of Thomas McPheron (45) was Radah Jane (sp?) aged 39
born in Ohio. They had sons Thomas (6), Eli (2), and a female baby aged 3 mos. All
children were born in Ohio, probably in Allen Co.
Andrew McPheron (40) was married to Gratia Ann (sp?) aged 42 born in New York. They had a
son David (10) and daughter Louise/Louisa (3).
In the household of Thomas McPheron was a John McPheron (15) working as a farm laborer. I
have not been able to identify him.
I am interested in learning more about these families because they are related to my
ancestor, Elizabeth McPheron, who was their sister and who was married to David Logan.
David and Elizabeth settled in Vigo County before 1860 as well.
