• Notes

  His father emigrated from Britain, his name might have been John or Edmund Fear. William and Mary moved from Harrison, Kentucky to an 80 acre tract of thickly wooded land six miles west of Greensburg, Decatur county, Indiana in 1835. Three years later he bought and moved to an eighty acre tract near to and just west of Newburg. Here too it was vast wilderness, giant treees, briars, bushes and brush. He cleared it an built a typical log cabin. There were just a few settlers, no roads, wild turkeys, panthers, wolves and wild cats, and squirrels so many they could eat and destroy acres of corn.
