Indiana Arrivals 1830s

Jacob Crousore, his father John, joined the migration to Indiana along with brother-in-law John Smith and his siblings and Nicholas Reel about 1826. They settled in Rush Co. The families moved on to Delaware and Madison Co.'s during the mid-1830s, with some of the Smiths opting to settle there permanently. The Crousores moved on to Howard Co. in the late 1840s.

The Simmons family had an interesting migration pattern into Indiana. John W. Simmons resided in Switzerland Co. in 1819 and Henry Co. during the late 1830s. In both cases, he moved to Ohio or Kentucky. The family would not call Indiana their permanent home until the 1840s.

James B. Crail Sr. had worked his way through the Ohio River counties of southern Indiana during the 30s, but wouldn't return for at least a dcade.
