Kansas [and Vermont]

Kansas became a state in 1861. Jacob and Amy [Smith] Crousore moved to McPherson Co., Kansas in 1873, joining their only surviving son, William. Amy had died there between 1875 and 1877. Jacob died about 1878.

I should probably add an honorable mention as ancestral colonies and states wraps up. Vermont joined the US as the 14th state in 1791.

After the Stock Market crashed in 1929, Charles and Bess McHugh packed up their four kids and joined Bess' sister Pansy Tierney and her family in Vermont. The families were in the logging business near Drummerston. Although the Tierneys stayed for 3-4 years, the McHughs only stayed about aa year befor retuning to Indianapolis.
