My father, Robert Scearcy, was born in Virginia in the year 1782, and died and was buried in this township April 18, 1857. My mother’s name was Mary Spivey. They were married in North Carolina, and were the parents of thirteen children: ten girls and three boys, I being the fifth child.
I was born in Buncombe County, North Carolina, in the year 1813. When quite young my parents moved to Warren County, Tennessee, where we remained until the fall of 1829, when we started for Indiana, but owing to sickness we did not reach our destination until the spring of 1830; stayed a while in Morgan County, Indiana, and from there to Sangamon County, Illinois.
