Hiram Menaugh, farmer, P. O. Mazon. During the war of 1812, Mr. Meanugh's 
parents were living in the southern part of what is now Indiana, then Indiana 
Territory. They were compelled to flee into a fort, near Frankfort, Ky., for 
protection against the Indians, and in this fort our subject was born December 
25, 1812. In the year 1811, his brother, Col. John L. Menaugh, was captured by 
the Delaware Indians, and was afterward retaken from them at Vincennes, Ind.; 
he died in June, 1879, after serving the country in various capacities for
