JAMES VANCLEAVE, of Vernon Township, Washington County, Ind., and whose
parents were Benjamin and Sarah (Carnes) Vancleave, was born in Kentucky, in
the year 1810.  When four years old he came with his parents to Indiana, and
located in Orange County.  His education is limited and corresponds to the
advantage of schooling in his early days.  He remained at home until
reaching his majority, and in 1833 Martha Lynn became his wife.  With her he
lived in happiness until 1860 when he was grieved by her death.  By her he
was the father of seven children, these five now living:  John H., Sarah E.,
William B., Margaret A. and David S.  In 1861 he married Eliza L. Wible for
his second wife, and she has borne him seven children, two of whom are dead.
The living children are:  James W., Jacob K., Elza P., Thaddeus H. and Alva
E.  Mr. Vancleave has been engaged during his life in farming and
carpentering, and has made a success of both occupations.  He is a member of
the Presbyterian Church at Livonia, with which he has been identified ever
since 1828.  Politically he is a Republican, but is liberal in his views.
All praiseworthy public enterprises receive his support and endorsement.
