The following is from the autobiography of William Searcy, Robert's son. William's wife, Sarah, was James Miller's sister.
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.
