and Ruth (Dick) Hodgin, natives of North Carolina, of English descent. He 
remained in his native State till 1832, when he came to Indiana and remained 
in Randolph County one summer. He then returned to North Carolina, and in 1833 
was married to Mornen, daughter of John and Abigail (Hobbs) Coffin.

subsequently adding to it till he owned 160 acres. In 1866 he sold his farm 
and bought the one where he now lives, in New Garden Township, Wayne County.
