| The members of this family were affiliated with the Presbyterian church at New Castle, Ky., and their names are to be found on the register of that church. The parents with their children removed to Indiana in 1824, and entered the farm now owned by Mrs. Asbury Richardson, and a portion of the farm known as the William DePue farm now owned by John A. Thompson. On account of the prevalence of malaria in their locality they sold their lands in Johnson county and invested in Brown county land among the hills, hoping to escape the dread malaria so prevalent in low lands during those early days. -- Prichard Family History |
