Henderson Hosier, farmer, was born in 1805 in Randolph County, N. C., a son of 
Lewis and Clarissa (Dollarhide) Hosier, the former born in North Carolina in 
December, 1775, of English and Welsh ancestry, and the latter a native of the 
same State, of English ancestry. They moved to Wayne County, Ind., in 1807, 
and in 1812 entered a quarter-section of land on Green's Fork in what is now 
Jackson Township. The father was a member of the Society of Friends, and was a 
farmer by occupation. He died in January, 1853, and his wife died in 1839, 
aged sixty years. They were the parents of four sons and two daughters, our 
subject being the second and only surviving child. He was educated in the log-
cabin subscription school and in 1825 was married to Elizabeth, daughter of 
Peter and Elizabeth (Burns) Hoover, who came to Wayne County from North 
Carolina in an early day. Mr. Hosier and wife have had seven children, three 
of whom are living---Mahala J., wife of Rudesel Hunt, of Wayne County; William 
H. H. and Lewis H.; Isaac, Charlotte, Bridget and Mary A. are deceased. Mrs. 
Hosier died in 1881 at the age of seventy-two years. Mr. Hosier settled in 
Henry County, Ind., in 1825, where he followed farming till 1869. He then 
removed to his present farm, for which he paid $26,500, and now owns 344 
acres, valued at $100 per acre. Mr. Hosier maintains the principle of free 
thought and believes in universal education of the people to insure good 
government. He supported the Whig party, but since the organization of the 
Republican he has affiliated with that party. He is a great reader and is well 
informed on all questions that have agitated the country for sixty years.
