PERRY BROWN, a native of Spencer County, Ky., born May 16, 1822,
came
when nine years old to Indiana with his mother and step-father, with whom
he remained until 1843, securing in the meantime a fair education. At
the
latter date, he came to Sullivan County. He began life for himself
by
working for 50 cents a day in trade, or for $8 per month in cash, and so
continued until his marriage with Miss Caroline, daughter of Cuthbert and
Mary (Rylin) Jewell, August 21,1847. Soon after his marriage, he
located on forty acres of canal land, which be bought in 1848. Ten years
later, he sold out and bought 120 acres on Sections 13 and 24, where he
now
lives. His farm is well-improved and one of the best in the
township.
In
his life-time thus far, Mr. Brown has cleared and put under
cultivation
over 100 acres of timbered land, and is now hale and hearty and in
comfortable circumstances. He served in Company I, One Hundred and
Forty-ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, from February, 1865 to October,
1865. Mr. and Mrs. Brown have the following family: Mary C., born July
19, 1848; Amanda J., October 29, 1850; Lydia J., December 27, 1852;

ROBERT CARRITHERS passed his early years without noteworthy event,
continuing with his father until the age of twenty-three, working with
his
brother in common for lands to be equally divided between them. He
was
born in Turman Township June 4,1831, and is the
second son of seven children born to George and Jane (Weir) Carrithers,
the
father a native of Kentucky and the mother of Tennessee, and both of
Irish
extraction. Robert's education was very limited, as
opportunities for
acquiring the learning of the schools were far inferior to what they are
at
present. Notwithstanding, this, he
secured sufficient education to carry on the ordinary affairs of life,
and
by industry, economy and integrity, now owns 251 acres of fine land
and
has
an unsullied name. He and wife are members of the Presbyterian
Church.
He
is a Democrat and a member of the Odd Fellows fraternity. His wife,
Eliza,
daughter of Thomas and Nancy (Daugherty) Gamble, to whom he was
married
January 9, 1855, was born January 9, 1835, and has borne her husband this
family: Alice A., December 18, 1857; Ed G., May 8, 1860; George T.,
July
18, 1862; James, November 25, 1865; Nancy J., July 21,1869, and an
infant
December 22, 1873. Of these only Ed G. and George E. are now living.
Mr.
Carrithers owns a fine property in Graysville. His father was one of
the
very first settlers
of the county, arriving when the Indians were yet occupying the soil and
when the woods were full of wild animals.

half
later
moved to Graysville (January 1, 1881). Here he has since lived and
practiced. He practices over a large section of country, has a pleasant
home in Graysville, and owns 305 acres of fine, cultivated land, upon

only son of six children of Josiah and Elizabeth (Schooling) Mann, was
brought to Indiana by his parents in 1819. The father first located in
Gill Township, where he lived until June 4, 1838, when his death

house his home. In 1845,
he had accumulated enough to buy a tract of 335 acres in Turman Township,
which he did, the land being the same as that upon which Turman Fort
stood
during the war of 1812. Here Mr. Mann has since lived and labored.
March
24, 1844, he was united in marriage with Miss Fidelia Ann, daughter
of
Thomas and Lavina (White) Turman, and to this union the following
children
