In September, he marched with others to Vincennes, where he served under General William Henry Harrison in the November 1811 Battle of Tippecanoe against Tecumseh's Indians. Timothy was severely wounded. The following year, Timothy's fifth child, James (our ancestor), was born. Over the next eleven years, five remaining children were born here: John, Thomas, William, Jane, and Mary."

    From Chris Mills: "The only census that I have been able to find Elizabeth listed by name in was the 1850 census in Marrs Township of Posey County. Elizabeth's husband Wilson died in 1854 and I have not been able to find her in the census at any date after that.... Elizabeth is believed to have died in Posey County in 1895..."
