My ancestral families began arriving in Indiana during the 1820s, at least those who were to remain here for several generations.
1) John Faucett & Joseph Faucett: The Faucett clan arrived in Indiana in 1824. John had purchased two tracts of land, one in Marion and one in Hendricks County. John settled the former and deeded the latter to Joseph and two sons-in-law. Joseph's son, Benjamin, would moved the family to Indianapolis during the early 1880s. John Faucett had previously resided in Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
2) Enoch Gulley & Willis Gulley: Enoch and Willis, along with other members of the family, moved to Shelby Co., Indiana in 1828. Enoch died within a year of arrival. Willis remained in Shelby Co. until 1834, then moved to Decatur Co. He spent a brief time in Hendricks Co. before returning to Decatur Co.
